We’re talking about LLMs creating board games. That’s the subject of the thread. But yeah, you’re here stanning as usual. ;)

My example was last week, not two years ago.

Sure, but that's not the point, is it? The point is that AI is not reliable. Literally last week Google's AI overview told me that The Shambles, a famous area of York, was inspired by Harry Potter.* *For those not following along, obviously the opposite is true.

I don't know that that's true. There's a LOT of indie stuff which has nothing to do with D&D, and doesn't use the OGL. Just take a look at itch.io. Thousands of 'em!

It certainly worked as intended.

The OGL was a license which, upon creation, became used widely across the industry, not just for D&D, but by hundreds of other games over the following decades. It ushered in the era of open gaming to an industry which had no tradition of that previously. It changed the environment completely...

Sure, OK.

That’s not a bad analogy.

Yes, they use the CC instead. The status quo is largely maintained. The industry wasn't transformed. Putting the SRD into the CC is a footnote at best compared to the creation of the OGL and the transformative effect that had on the industry.

I don't think that transformed the entire industry the way the OGL did. The OGL brought a new concept to the industry which completely rewrote it. The CC SRD was an iteration, not a revolution. It didn't change anything, it just maintained the status quo.

Yeah. We could all make more money by breaking the law. But we choose not to.

Livestreaming as always Friday at 2pm UK time (9am Eastern)! In this week's show, the latest updates on 'Obekiskgate', Ryan Dancey does a Ratner, and new playtest classes for Pathfinder. Former Head of D&D Says Vecna: Eve of Ruin Was Not Going To Feature Obelisk Plot Pathfinder 2E Launches...

Well, he wrote it. We’ll never know what it sounds like.

Ratner lost more than a job. He lost his own company and empire, and hundreds of millions of pounds. He ended up with a national slang term named after him! It was one of the most epic examples of self sabotage the business world has ever seen.
