    Critical Role's The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4 Comes Out in June

    I've never watch the streams (I don't have the time or patience for actual plays), but I find that interesting. Based on the animated series, I just assumed he was a warlock and the guns were a creative interpretation of eldritch blast.

    D&D General Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    It’s tough to describe… other than missing the last 20-minutes, and misattributing who said what a few times, it did a pretty great job of recording what actually happened… it just hilariously misread who the heroes and villains of a situation the players intervened in, to the point of casting...

    D&D General Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    Two sessions in and I'm hapy enough to give it another month, but I wouldn't say 'm where you are. Our last session, it couldn't have misread the situation worse if it had been programmed to, plus it cut out 20 minutes early on the recording, so it missed a few key deatils. plus, it thinks I'm...

    D&D General Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    About half (4 out of 9). And they use it for art, which is different from "there's not a single person who doesn't use AI somehow for either campaign development or character development or story ideas."

    D&D General Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    The assertion that everyone he knows uses AI in their campaigns seems laughable... looking at the two campaigns I am in quite a few people use AI for character art, but little else. I've used copilot to shorten a few long character backstories. However, it has always been a struggle to get...

    D&D General You Were Rolling Up a New Character, and Just Rolled a 3. What Is Your Reaction?

    While I think of the comic potential or interesting role playing, at least two of my players are closer to the Demand a reroll category… though it would be a passive aggressive pouting campaign.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer - First Impressions

    I certainly hope you are wrong, and we do see some sort of adventure set in Eberron... but I suspect you are right and we won't (unless it's an adventure league thing). My main complain in the book itself: I wish they had taken the extra step (and pages) to update all the monster statblocks...

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    My money is on a new series of comemorative plates... sold in randomized packs ("Ugh, another Tanis... how many do I have to buy to get that Raistlin?!").

    Pathfinder 2E I played my first PF2e game this week. Here's why I'm less inclined to play again.

    I got suckered into playing PF2 for like 6 excruciating months. I have never had less fun with any gaming system, it actually sent me into an existential crisis about my 40 year relationship with role-playing that I haven’t fully recovered from more than half a year later. If I ever encounter...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Survey goes live August 28? Wow, nice to know that they are really committed to giving people time to absorb the information and provide thoughtful feedback, based on actual playtesting, rather than just a hot take!

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Delayed Until December

    I'm on board with delaying the physical book, but delaying the digital copy really sucks. I was all ready to go with a new Eberron campaign next month... Now I have no idea what I'm going to do.

    New D&D Unearthed Arcana Reveals Two New Subclasses for Monk and Sorcerer, Plus Revamps For Seven More

    I haven’t checked it out yet, but I am a little surprised to see yet another subclass heavy UA. Given how many of these are retuning subclasses, I suppose it could just be an effort to get as many things updated to the 2024 rules as quickly as possible… but I can’t shake the nagging feeling that...

    D&D 5E (2024) Magic Item Armour sale question

    You would add the cost of the base armor, plus the magic item cost by rarity. From the 2024 DMG (pg 217): "If a magic item incorporates an item that has a purchase cost in the Player’s Handbook (such as a weapon or a suit of armor), add that item’s cost to the magic item’s value. For example...

    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    Growing up in Ohio, everyone used the term "pop." When I went to college (still in Ohio), the majority of my classmates were from out of state and used the term "soda," which I slowly adopted. My brother and local friends even switched to saying "soda." Now, over 30 years later, it sounds odd to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psion Class: Green/Yellow/Red?

    Seems reasonable.
