    WotC So it seems D&D has picked a side on the AI art debate.

    The problem is though, substantially similar wouldn't really apply here because its a case where its not things ending up similar through drawing, but downright manipulating the image in question. But I'm not a lawyer so who knows how it'll go (Outside of that one case with the monkey stating...

    WotC WotC general D&D survey just went live.

    Level Up is a fan project targeted at existing fans who know what they're into. The new D&D is inded to be sold to people new to the whole concept who's knowledge of RPGs as a whole is 'i can roll dice and fight a dude', with whatever pop-culture knowledge comes prior to that. And.... Half elves...

    WotC WotC general D&D survey just went live.

    I'm fine with the sacrifice as long as orcs remain as a core race. Seriously, regular orcs not being core but half orcs getting in was always a weird look

    WotC So it seems D&D has picked a side on the AI art debate.

    Hang on, are we just ignoring that 90% of uploads to Pintrist aren't done by the image owner? Like, I can find most of the D&D 3E and Pathfinder artworks on there and I can sure tell you, they sure weren't uploaded by WotC or Pathfinder. Pointing to a TOS is kind of pointless when what people...

    Planescape 5 New D&D Books Coming in 2023 -- Including Planescape!

    I will just say, I think planes shouldn't be static. Why should the entire chaotic side of the multiverse the same as presented originally? Its chaotic, it should change, The Wheel shouldn't be lawful and set in stone, things should change, closeness to planes waxing and waning as time itself...

    WotC So it seems D&D has picked a side on the AI art debate.

    The problem of course, @tetrasodium, is that doesn't include "You own this image". Pintrist is like, the biggest image stealing website on the internet. I wouldn't call a website where I could just steal anything you've created and then just re-upload it against your wishes, without any need to...

    WotC So it seems D&D has picked a side on the AI art debate.

    It isn't, though. It never can be. An AI's art will inevitable be souless, other images mashed together into a single form. Art makes up RPG products as much as anything. Consider Gith's current popularity and how much if that may be due to them striking while the iron was hot, being THE face of...

    WotC So it seems D&D has picked a side on the AI art debate.

    What about 'people are just going to go with the cheapest solution rather than support people who know what they're doing'? Outside of the D&D-sphere, I'm into the paleontology sphere. Just last week were having a bit of a discussion on this particular little ad Here's the thing. I know its...

    WotC So it seems D&D has picked a side on the AI art debate.

    There isn't any input, though. I guess theoretically if you've trained the AI up on certain images, but, here's where we get that whole theft problem because, hey, you got permission to use those images in that? If I stole some D&D content you'd created, be it an adventure or anything, mushed...

    WotC WotC general D&D survey just went live.

    Boy you know it I sure hope they loved my answers of "I haven't played in yonks because I cannot schedule a game to save my life and am just hanging around D&D communities vicariously living through other people's experiences"

    Worthy sacrifices for finally getting core orcs, honestly. boy that's a lot of questions about how much you spent on things in this though

    New Wild Shape

    As a counter though, when you get to higher levels, wizard got polymorph. Wizards shouldn't be better at changing people into animals than a class dedicated to doing so Absolutely a bit too powerful at low levels, but once you hit high level, given another class is able to go "Bang, zoom...

    (+) Hopes for The Monk

    Honestly I'd flat out remove stunning strike, or at least make it only to one sub-class. The problem is its that powerful of an ability its going to impact balance. So.... Remove it from 'em all. Give one the 'you do stunning strike spam' and buff up every other one for the loss of it. Without...

    D&D General Just Eat the Dang Fruit

    Plenty of reasons to not eat it. This is a lost city, burried beneath the sands. A place that, by definition, can't have had contact with the outside world for substantial time. A desert, a place known for not really having many fruits. Generally to get fruit out there, would have to be traded...

    New Wild Shape

    While I agree with you on armoured (why so people get worked up about druids not being able to wear metal again? Is it a cleric thing?), I will say that due to outside video games, the shape shifting druid is probably the more iconic over the caster. WoW’s caster spec druids even shape change...

    D&D 5E Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    When you get to its heart, social media is just, feedback. And that's sort of one of TSR's problems in this era, they didn't really listen to feedback and, well, we know how that all went. Blaming it all to 'social media' when we're having this exact discussion on social media itself is a wide...

    D&D General A GM I know has A Player whose characters A Future King,, he's only done 1 adventure and theirs already 2 confirmed problems and 2 more brewing. Ideas

    For a Fire Emblem fan, he sure do not understand how it go. Regardless, it falls into the same trap any "Oh these are alignment locked!" things fall into. Even easier with the "That's a BAD LOOK" for Savage and "You're saying I could not play a ninja based on Taki from Soul Calibur" for Ninja...

    D&D General A GM I know has A Player whose characters A Future King,, he's only done 1 adventure and theirs already 2 confirmed problems and 2 more brewing. Ideas

    Alignment locks like that are dumb and there's a reason D&D removed them. Just make 'em rangers. Plus calling them 'Trackers' is basically implying that no one of a good alignment can track things which, circles around to that 'yeah that's kind of dumb' It reminds me of those mid 00s MMOs where...

    D&D General A GM I know has A Player whose characters A Future King,, he's only done 1 adventure and theirs already 2 confirmed problems and 2 more brewing. Ideas

    He's doing it for a laugh, clearly. He's not putting work into this bodyguarding. He's a dragon who's got everything he needs and the endless enui of ages weighs upon him so he spends a few decades adopting a persona and just, seeing what mischief he can get to before he goes back to his lair...

    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    As a counterargument though, does not not inply that, by offering this product without any sort of commentary or anything like that on it not exactly provide the best look? Frankly I think there's other things that need this well before GAZ10 (cough cough OA cough), but likewise just throwing...
