Wow - that took quite a bit of time!
Anyone remember dialing into their local/topical bbs system?
Am I the only one in here to interpret that large survey as first visible sign of 5.5 or 6E approaching?

Well, that was one rather large bit of marketing. I got through it, but I don't think my answers were the ones they were looking for.
1. I don't like the Realms
2. I don't want your Realms-centric books. (see #1 above)
3. I don't want your Realms-centric merch. (see #1 above)
4. I don't listen to your streams/'casts (see #1 above)
Did anyone else notice those "special edition" and "collector's edition" questions? Sorry, no, I don't want to buy your books again, and packaging it with a pair of Drizz't's underwear is not going to get me to pony up.
No. The questions could certainly be interpreted as a nod in that direction, and it crossed my mind. I think 5E is still going really well, though. My guess is that they're doing a pulse check to see how far down the path they want to go with things like the Eberron or Ravnica and whether it's time to shift gears a bit. So, not a harbinger of 5.5 or 6E, so much as checking how to best avoid those.Am I the only one in here to interpret that large survey as first visible sign of 5.5 or 6E approaching?
Yeah. I'm not sure my answers were what they were hoping, either. I was disappointed that there wasn't a way to say, "I value really deep stories, but I explicitly don't want a pervasive default setting." It felt like any time I answered "I like deep campaign lore", it could (and would) be interpreted as support for the Realms.Well, that was one rather large bit of marketing.
