    OpenAI posted a preview of its Sora AI tech with a string of videos made with AI generation (you can scroll down on their post to see more sample videos).

    Nexon Got Caught Cheating Its Player Base

    https://www.pcgamer.com/nexon-fined-nearly-dollar9m-for-falsifying-loot-box-drop-rates/ Apparently Nexon (Maple Story, Elsword, etc.) got caught reducing cash shop gacha drop rates without telling the players, and it got so bad that the government had to step in and fine the company. This is...

    A Potential Earthquake in the Videogame Industry: UNITY Install Fees

    Game devs say Unity’s big change puts studios at risk So apparently there was an announcement about Unity having an install fee PER game copy downloaded.

    D&D 5E Reinventing The Vedic Pantheon

    EDIT: (March 12, 2023) I figured out a potentially decent solution after learning more about the core teachings of Hinduism. There needs to be some revision of the deities in the pantheon, but the concept of "Brahman" enables a foundation of descriptive text to pay respects to the original real...

    Looking For Research Recommendations In Tabletop RPG Crowdfunding

    As a small time community creator on DMsGuild, I'm having to prepare for the worst in case WotC offends the tabletop RPG community even more. I still have a couple of big projects in the works that I can't transfer to a different system due to being setting-related, so I'm possibly going to take...

    D&D General Baator Burger: The Inevitable Progress of Multiversal Society

    While researching for my projects on DMsGuild, I realized that a lot of the civilizations in the DnD multiverse would have had time and opportunity to develop all sorts of innovations, technologies, and societal norms, well beyond Medieval/Classical/Renaissance Era societies as presented in real...

    D&D 5E Casting Wish To Duplicate Homebrew Spells

    Wish can be cast to duplicate any 8th level spell or lower. Now say somebody wants to cast a low level spell with enhancements that don't appear when upcasting the spell. Some might say that triggers the danger aspect of Wish. Others might say that as long as the tweaked version of the spell...

    RIP Morbius

    So apparently Sonic the Hedgehog 2 AND Fantastic Beasts 3 are releasing this week. EDIT: Looks like Fantastic Beasts 3 got moved to next week, which may be even worse for Morbius in some ways. This means that Morbius' box office take will be competing with not one but two popular franchises...

    Something That Soured My Interest In The New Morbius Movie

    The screenwriters for Morbius (Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless) also wrote Dracula Untold and Gods of Egypt. If you enjoyed those movies, everyone is entitled to their personal preferences. I predict however that there's going to be a ton of distancing from this movie for the Sony and Marvel...

    D&D 5E FIND STEED: Your Pony Has Opinions

    I've read people commenting on the mount companion from the 2nd level conjuration spell "Find Steed", describing it as if it were nothing but some robot mount that they control like a puppet. In my opinion, the Steed deserves far more consideration. The steed is described as "intelligent...
