Last session was earlier today. Spent some time arguing with the fighter-ranger about whether to rescue his girlfriend or our group patron, but then we got attacked by servants of Zenobaal. One of them was an arclight phoenix... at least until it failed its save against my bard's polymorph and...

If they have no plans for Dark Sun then why give the Psion class two passes and test a bunch of blatant Dark Sun subclasses. This feels like the people who kept insisting the Switch 2 wasn't real.

Depends on the week, but there are accounts that just flood the service with cheap or PWYW products that are largely if not entirely AI generated. There's settings in the interface to hide AI-generated stuff, but that only works if the creators bother to specify AI was used.

I don't see why not

What does that even mean? That's how spells work too, unless you actually require players to say magic words and provide material components to cast a spell.

I like that design a lot. Horrific yet cute.

...A few fans are producing better content. A bunch more are just generating slop with Chat GPT and posting it verbatim to the Guild.

It was also by designer accounts a hasty addition to the product that was originally unrelated to Baldur's Gate. Which is presumably why the BG portions of the adventure feel so disjointed.

I had an Abyssal tiefling NPC in one of my campaigns long before the 2024 books. She was Chasme descended so she had antenna and cricket-like legs. ...unfortunately the PCs killed her.

You certainly sounded flippant. Better consumer protections is the ideal, but that requires legislatures to both care and actually act on it. Releasing products as PDF (or whatever format is up to your standards of modernity) is trivially easy to produce and something that could be provided at...

Like, ever, or currently? I'm not in any games but D&D at the moment but up until some recent health issues I was playing in a Cyberpunk RED west marches.

:rolleyes: This isn't a hypothetical. Services end. I relied on D&D Insider for 4E and it's gone. You don't have to care but don't be flippant that some people would prefer if WOTC couldn't just decide to EOL their expensive collections on a whim in 10 years.

Honestly if WOTC just offered their digital-only releases as PDFs I think it would alleviate a lot of the concern. PDFs are static files that last as long as the ones and zeroes, but DDB is a service and services eventually end. Frankly I don't know why they don't. Allegedly piracy but... yeah...

I still think that Vigilant Defender should hit at level 10 or 15 instead of 18. By 18 it's so late in the game and monsters have so many ways of avoiding provoking OAs that it feels underwhelming.

I have never encountered Tiny Hut being a problem in my games, no.
