For those who find such things useful, here are the new chapters from the A5E SRD in markdown. I'm sure someone will find these useful as additions to an obsidian vault.

I bet that's what you say to all the RPG companies :LOL: Level Up is also slowly maturing into the kind of comprehensive system we haven't seen since Pathfinder 1e. It seems to have a more coordinated expansion strategy than the scattergun approach adopted by WoTC. It feels more of a toolkit to...

I think we all need to appreciate the work that EN Publishing and Kobold Press in giving us SRDs under open licences that are not reliant on the continued goodwill of WoTC. While I hope relations with WoTC remain healthy, corporations tend to have short institutional memories.

I didn't even notice that the voidrunner's codex section had two more sections added! Shows how observant I am.

I received my copy of Pets and Sidekicks in the mail today. It always takes a while to reach us down here in Australia! I was wondering, are there plans to eventually add material from Monstrous Menagerie II and this volume to the A5ESRD? I notice there haven't been any major updates for a...

Backed! Looking forward to this! Will any of these new rules eventually be added to the A5E SRD? I've noticed that updates have slowed a lot, although you've been kind of busy with the online tools.

I think Darrington Press are working hard to diversify their product lines They are going to support both Daggerheart AND 5e. It wouldn't surprise me if they also fork the 5e ruleset in the same way that A5E and Tales of the Valiant have. Let's face it - if they were to release their own...

Yep. But I want moar!!!! We have a number of TPPs taking the 5e system in new directions. This is giving us a smorgasbord of options to choose from. I give WoTC kudos for being true to their word, but most of the innovation in the 5e space is now happening elsewhere. I suspect they may be a...

I'm hoping Morrus is planning a book of downtime activities, strongholds, and domain level activities for A5E at some point. They are doing one on animal companions, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility.

This does seem to be a far more intentional document than the 5.1 SRD. WoTC have thought carefully about what should be included and what shouldn't. Some gaps can be filled from the 5.1 SRD, so no great loss there. The lack of Bastion rules is sad considering I was interested to see what other...

This is my impression too. Those with established skills in a domain get better results from an AI than a newcomer. This hold true for image, text, and code generation at least. It's partly because those with subject matter expertise create more precise prompts. And it's partly because they...

That was my point earlier. I think it'll take several years for the legal system to sort out all the implications. But in the meantime, most publishers will continue to enforce a no-AI policy to reduce potential legal risk. It's not necessarily because they are implacably opposed to the...

This is also misleading. You are correct that the material in the model isn't a copy of the source material. Instead, it is a representation of the data in the same way a map is a representation of some real world relationships between places. Like a map, there is a process of selection and...

This is absolutely true. And this is where the silicon valley ideology matters. Dotcom neoliberalism is all about destroying existing power structures that protect people against exploitation. That's a consistent pattern. It's why Amazon and Google are so hostile to unions. It's why Peter Thiel...

No...it doesn't make a copy. This statement is factually incorrect. Models catalogue information (kinda like metadata) about the material in the training set. It learns the characteristics or patterns present in the training set. In supervised learning, labels are added to help the model...
