D&D (2024) New leak looks real bad

[Haplo781]

D&D Shorts has been accurate throughout this saga AFAIK so this is pretty concerning to me.

$30 subs? AI Dungeon Masters? If I heard this a year ago I'd dismiss it as ridiculous. Now? It's about par for the course.

Aaaand Nerd Immersion is confirming as well.

This is like... If all the hyperbole about 4e were literally true it still wouldn't be this bad, folks.

Well, I am looking forward to this, can only add to the show

I'm... awfully skeptical, but it's interesting that the pricing in the rumor lines up with the supposed 'leaked D&DBeyond slide' from awhile back: link.

edit: This was confirmed as fake: link. What that says about the above? No idea.

If you want to see what an AI can do as a DM, here is a slightly older example.

The field is rapidly advancing. Though I have no idea how WotC would get expertise in it.

Ha. That’s awful.

Well, whether it’s true or not, my campaigns will be happily chugging along while paying them exactly $0.00.

I'm fine with AI DMs or players for people who can't find people - then it's basically a video game, and NWN did not end anything. $30/year is absurd for a video game, however.

$30/year

Haha. Hahaha.

Hahahahahaha

Yeah, that would be insane, wouldn't it?

Let alone the $30 per month they're actually planning to charge.

at that point I’d rather play an actual videogame though, an AI VTT is just a bad game

Typo on my part, I think my brain refused to type "month" because it was obviously wrong.
