    Anticipatory Grief

    We had to put our 14 year old dog to sleep yesterday, we decided this last Friday after having some serious doubts a week earlier, things got worse, not better. This was not shocking news, our dog was old, he had many ailments that started to seriously stack. I'm not the main caregiver for the...

    Best practices for easy-to-run modules [+]

    It kind of depends... We've currently been playing mostly in (Foundry) VTT, and that allows me a LOT more room to quickly access the right information in just a link (or two). I can even spawn encounters because I made the extra effort in prep. What I've found is that having different stylistic...

    D&D General Silly Campaign Idea: The All Kobold Party

    I think that playing kobolds is a common trope in PF2e, I've even seen evidence of entire kobold parties over the years. So it's not as silly as you think....

    Worlds of Design: Story vs. Gameplay

    I kind of think it "depends", there is no formula for a good game, otherwise companies like EA and Ubisoft wouldn't be in so much trouble these days... They would just use the 'formula' to kick out Bangers. I even suspect that it really depends on what kind of game you're making. And while...

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    Are you sure? There are an awful lot of Terry Pratchett fans on here... ;)

    Netheril's Fall - First Impressions

    Kind of depends. Monsters like the Drow statblock in FR: Adventures in Faerun could aslo be years of gameplay if the campaign is Drow or Underdark focused. And an adventure like Dungeon of the Mad Mage is also years of gameplay. It all depends.

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    Some people here think the world is flat, that doesn't mean they are right... People can think things all they want, that doesn't mean that the reality will change that the rest of us live in. The question with LLM is if it ever will become what certain other people promise it's going to be...

    DMs Guild [Design Notes] Forgotten Realms Travel Guide: Faerûn, Kara-Tur, and Zakhara

    What you could do is make a separate pdf with just the vector maps for printing. You might also want to look at Affinity (previously Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher), that's been released for free (previously paid) and it's got a 'Publisher' mode that will act as DTP (DeskTop Publishing)...

    DMs Guild [Design Notes] Forgotten Realms Travel Guide: Faerûn, Kara-Tur, and Zakhara

    Congrats! The sample looks good, the maps look good enough and $14 is a great price for 700 pages of content. I've wishlisted it for later purchase (currently already working/reading too many thing). While I do like your maps, I strongly dislike the illustration you showed earlier in this...

    D&D's Forgotten Realms Books Hit With Delays in Europe and Asia

    Whoopsie! I knew this, as they mentioned this in one of their videos. I suddenly feel like an American... "In the country of Europe..." ;)

    [Old school] I can't deal with inventory

    I love equipment, not the weight management or the Tetris game you play to make everything fit, but what you can do with it in a given situation. While I'm not into Old School, I do play and DM D&D5e, as a player I love bags of holding, both as storage and as a weapon. But as a DM I tend to...

    D&D's Forgotten Realms Books Hit With Delays in Europe and Asia

    Cubicle 7 and Modiphus are both based in the UK, so primarily English product. Free League is Swedish, but produces mostly English (licensed) works. FL apparently prints their books in Eastern Europe, so not that strange that they would show up earlier in Europe then in the US. C7 apparently...

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    Generally yes, but not enough, that's why we create new jobs. Did the Doordash delivery person exist in 2010? Did the YouTuber exist before 2000? These things might be the most known inconsequential jobs, but there are so many others less known, but way more important. People also act as if...

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    The whole quote: "it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail." It's not for nothing that there's a 150+ year old term for it, a "Birmingham screwdriver". More info: Law of the instrument - Wikipedia Just because people (should) know better...
