D&D Insider Survey ResultsD&D Insider Article

D&D Insider recently conducted a large survey to both subscribers and non-subscribers to get more information on what new features and applications would best enhance the value of D&D Insider. Thank you for your feedback -- we received over 4,000 responses!

One message came across loud and clear – you want tools that will make it easier than ever to participate in and run ongoing D&D campaigns. We’ll call them Campaign Tools for now. Here’s what you said:

We asked subscribers how likely they would be to use various new features (they could choose more than one). Top responses included:

  • Tool to create and manage campaign info: 83% of subscribers
  • Tool to customize and print monsters: 82% of subscribers
  • Tool to customize and print pre-made adventures: 77% of subscribers
  • Tool to create character portraits: 69% of subscribers
  • Tool to play tabletop D&D over the Internet: 67% of subscribers

We asked non-subscribers what features would make them more likely to subscribe (again, they could choose more than one). Top responses included:

  • Tool to customize and print pre-made adventures: 56% of non-subscribers
  • Tool to customize and print monsters: 55% of non-subscribers
  • Tool to create and manage campaign info: 52% of non-subscribers
  • Tool to play tabletop D&D over the internet: 46% of non-subscribers
  • Tool to create character portraits: 41% of non-subscribers

Based on our analysis of the survey data and customer feedback, we have already begun work on applications for your campaigns. This includes monsters, encounters, maps and adventures.

As the applications progress we will bring you more detailed information about project specifics and timing. For now, we’re working hard to bring you what you want to enhance your 4th Edition game. To all of our current subscribers – thank you! We’re glad that you’re enjoying the benefits of Dragon and Dungeon magazines, the Character Builder, and the Compendium, and we’re excited to bring you this next application of D&D Insider as quickly as we can.
