Maps, drawing, tokens, dice, sharable images and notes. Must be browser-based. User should never worry about versions. Must be simple to use, simple to join. Simple, simple, simple. Most of us just want to get the game moving, not fudge around with "top ten extensions you MUST install!" or "are...

One way to at least get a sense of this would be to track the markers he laid out, like million dollar kickstarters and see where the trend leads.

"It's not complex but..." is the tagline for Rolemaster 😄 I love Rolemaster—in fact I had everything ICE ever made until selling it in anticipation of having to make house changes just a couple of weeks ago; although I haven't played it for years—but to say it's not complicated is not really...

I will buy anything Pelgrane, Gumshoe, GRH, or Middle-earth related, so quadruple bought I guess!

That's how I feel; it's really all about setting the right expectations for yourself. A year or two ago I think the capabilities weren't quite there for it to not lose the plot in a matter of twenty minutes or so, but now it can go well longer. And I think in between longer contexts, RAG, and...

That's a great encapsulation. An additionally there's an expectation that computers act the way we've always expected them to; so they don't 'get the math wrong', but with LLMs that expectation should really be more aligned with how we might think of a person, they in fact do mis-remember...

SMLs are just LLMs but smaller, no? And (generally speaking) their size mirrors in their performance, no? I actually agree that LLMs are going to turn out to be just one aspect of intelligence, and will only get us so far (clearly our skull does not contain a massive datacenter, and yet we can...

Awesome. Where can I try them?

Why play a computer game when you can watch a film? Why watch a film when you can read a book? Why read a book when you can play a TTRPG? Why play a TTRPG when… Because they’re fundamentally different experiences?

It fulfills the need the same way driving a car fulfills the need to take a walk...

Yeah, but... that's not... a ttrpg. Why make an AI participant, DM or player? A lot of people don't have the people to play with, the time to play, maybe they suffer from social anxiety, maybe they just want to play around, maybe they want to explore a mechanic, maybe like solo roleplayers they...

A whole RPG might be a stretch, but yeah The Bonin Horse for Cyberpunk 2020 as someone mentioned and then of course Sisters of Sorrow for Trail of Cthulhu.

This reads like it was written by ChatGPT. Will forum posts be replaced with AI?

War of the Worlds written by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan. "No one would have believed..."

Can I just take a second and say Holy Heck! to that graphic at the top. That makes me want to jump into a another Alien game!
