one thing that i will say that that disappoints me i heard somebody else say this i forget exactly who it was i'm not going to try to recall but um one thing that disappoints me about their approach to play testing is there's a lot of here's what it is tell us what you think and very few actual questions and that's something that i think they should do right where if they told us do you like this feature better than the 2014 version or would you like feature a or feature b

I think they would learn a lot from that process. It's something that D&D Next did a lot. So maybe it was Mike Morales who was talking about this, but D&D Next really went out and said, here is an option and here's another option. Here's how skills could work or here's how skills could work. Tell us what you think about that. And it feels like the team's never asking us design questions.

They're kind of just hoping we'll give it a five. You know what I mean? Or flag the one thing we are uncertain about, right?

It would be cool if in the virtual tabletop, they had the ability to test the UA with an adventure and pre-gens.

know that'd be really cool right you could just say here's run this right and because that's another thing i really liked about dnd next is that they would say here's this you know gnome under dark adventure and here are these new rules we're testing and then they would ask those questions and the surveys would say you know how did you like the skill system or whatever but you really were playing i mean i played most of those if not all of the dnd next

So that right there is a flawed premise. At the same time, Healing Spring, Silvery Barbs, we see cases where wizards did not comprehend the power level of things. And yet, time and time again, people would bring it up. And until Healing Spring was eroded, you had Jeremy saying, oh, it's perfectly fine on podcasts. Sometimes you should listen a bit on that, right?

But while also that everything you said is true, there are some times when folks should stand up and say, wait a minute, this is going to be a big problem. And Wizards has a very bad track record. This includes D&D Next. It includes fourth edition playtesting.

I've been on any number of internal forums where playtesters were saying this is a really big problem and it comes out exactly as it was in the original version. And it's like, please, sometimes you could listen to us. You know, like sometimes power level is a major impact on the game. Silvery barbs.

Well, I'm going to be contrarian guy, Sean, because the next piece they say is, hey, the place to give us feedback is the survey. And to which I go, yes, except Jerry himself, Jeremy himself said on a video, you know, we realized that while the survey was one way, what we kept hearing was the other. And so we knew that people wanted something else.
