    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk Coming From Luke Gygax & WotC

    I did read the thread and it spoke to the issues of me defending Gygax and getting pilloried for it on these boards. I am glad it was covered and my observation stands. You may be dismissive of it but I am happy for the vindictatiin. As a general rule people don’t apologize three times to others...

    For me, a laughing emoji is quite different from being triggered but YMMV 😃

    That is totally true AND the rockiness of those relationships carried forward under different management. Do you see a pattern here? I do

    Then what do you think he meant about reconnecting with older players again? Wa it the terrible dwarves baking art he was apologizing for? 😂

    Actually many of the old D&D team felt that WOTC shafted them. Weis and Hickman sued them in court to get them to honor their book deal. Professor Dungeon Master said he felt insulted and made a video about it and the TSR apology also.

    Yes, they did. The book by Ben Riggs was very much in the blame Gygax vein and a thread on this site tried to shift all blame to Gygax for the fall of TSR even though he was long gone after the collapse took place and Lorraine Williams was running the show.

    I like the fact that Dan apologized to Luke for WOTC’s treatment of Gary. I took some flack from forum posters for defending Gygax here a little while ago and so I feel vindicated! Woot! Woot!

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    No dude. The only people being hurt by your plan are actual artists. Larger corporations WANT to use AI as much as possible. The only thing holding them back is negative feedback from customers.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    I disagree. You can move the goalposts but it’s a win for me based upon the original post.

    I will definitely take it as a win.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    Where are you adding all of these options from? If a plane is locked down then magic won’t work. If you are ruling that wish overrides a planar lock then that would require a check to ever cast wish again. Some choice you got there. 🙄

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    You are missing the point entirely. The deck creates conditions that you have no remedy for because you cut off planar access. That is the definition of a railroad.Taking away agency and forcing all actions down a single, predetermined path. The players cannot respond to their actions to remedy...

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    Because you have no way to change the outcome of the deck because you are plane locked. A game layer who draws the imprisonment card just lost their character for multiple sessions. People whine about being hit with a banishment spell and that’s a few minutes. The deck has cards that can...
