The Original Data
My Main Points
- How anyone feels doesn’t matter to how you feel.
- These results don’t matter for you and your love of D&D and RPGs and the games you run with your players.
- These results aren’t representative of everyone. We don’t know what “everyone” looks like. There’s no “average” player.
- Respondents think positively about D&D and negatively about WOTC
- WOTC has a big image problem.
- Most respondents aren’t positive about the future direction of D&D.
- Respondents were accurate about other respondents’ feelings on WOTC (I was wrong!)
