I just took the survey, and after seeing the choices available to answer with, I would love to see the final results. Even better would be to be a fly on the wall when they see the final results.
I told them to actually support white men, the people who created the brand and are 80%+ of their actual customers.
I highly doubt it will do much. At best it will be used as stats to help show the executives in a slideshow meeting that they have ran the brand into the ground and should sell it to the highest bidder for chump change.
D&D used to be a great and robust way for nerds to use a fantasy settings to enjoy math. Then they took the math out so that theater/drama class dropouts could wear its dead skin like a costume to signal their various lifestyle fetishes to each other.
I doubt anything could bring me back to it.
Right? When I saw the title of this post I was totally assuming what I'd expect was someone wanting representation because they choose to eat canned dog food and shit outside and they should be totally validated as normal.
3E was great but slightly unbalanced. They really just needed to rebalance 3E and go with that.
Essentially, you want a very sandbox open-ended highly technical game that min/maxers can spend their whole life developing to the minute detail but also something someone can throw together in 10 mins to have fun, like 3E.
Make the style and grit more masculine rather than feminine.

They did, it was called 3.5. The revision to that was just Pathfinder.
I think we've hit saturation point with RPG systems though. There's not as strong a need for D&D specifically at this point, although I do want it to stick around in a reputable form as something of a cultural landmark. I think at this point the biggest contribution D&D has to make is its various settings and all the lore that's built up over the decades, be it the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk or even the world of Dark Sun.
D&D is still fun to play with friends and AI actually makes it more fun. Maybe they should work on their own dedicated AI that can work real time with the DM to help with storytelling and world building.
Thanks for posting this, had no idea I could take part in something like this. Just submitted my answers. I was clear, but didn't use any language that they'd filter away as "hate speech." To anyone else who wants to take the survey, I recommend you do the same -- market research DEFINITELY filters consumer input.

Everything eventually gets sold to Chinese company to make gacha mobile games

Responses actually were what I hoped for. What I expected was choruses demanding more fags.

I love those responses. Also apologize for insulting Gygax

Good to go.

DM: "You enter the town of Shireglen, a quaint northern farming village-"
AI: "Its racial demographics are identical to modern-day southern California."
DM: "As I was saying... Shireglen has been known to be quiet and peaceful-"
AI: "Being stabbed is part and parcel of living in a city."
New DnD sets should come with themed nail polish and hyperventilation paper bags.
I like GURPS better, it's janky but you can do literally anything with it.
I had nothing but contempt since they removed racial bonus and penalties.
That was after thinking they were utterly retarded for removing bonus / penalty based on sex.
The Neos shitting on the founders for being problematically White and male was expected.
There's soo much junk in DND the world doesn't feel stable or predictable anymore...
Like is that turtle over there just some animal or is it a playable race and I actually have to treat it cautiously 😑
The game is difficult to play when you can't get reasonable understanding of the world.

That felt GREAT. Thank you, OP.
As a "White Box" DnD nerd from the very beginning?
The comments are AWESOME! There's hope for humanity after all! 😺
