"I am incapable of deliverying chinese food on time, and I insist that being an hour late to deliver still qualifies me to have the full payment of the meal plus tips." Nah.

Well of course. It wouldn't be very civil of you to have poop all over you.

The thing that makes resource management fun isn't ticking down the numbers. It's the feeling of being overwhelmed by what you need to manage and the relief you feel when you finally get a chaotic situation under control. You don't call it resource management if you're given a situation where...

I am envious of their voices. Like, I know they have to have a decent podcast voice, but they all are quite nice to listen to. Even the DM.

Allow me to expand with possible scenarios that would make the most mundane resource management more engaging for your players. Note, this is for those that do want to engage in the mundane, survival-type resource management. There are more fantastical variations, though: Let's say they're...

I posit that what makes resource management engaging and challenging, it isn't the fear of running out of resources, per say, but it's the concept of managing those resources and problems arising from mismanagement of them.

"One D&D is just a worse 5e" Wow. So much discontent over something that hasn't even made it past playtesting yet. It's like baking a cake and before you put the batter in the oven your kid goes "you made your own cake? It's just a worse store-bought cake!

The only time I can accept a statblock being more than a page is if the monster is practically the entire adventure itself. For example, I can understand a fight with a monster that goes through multiple phases with almost completely different sets of available actions each. Though, I'd also...

D&D adventures are much like dreams. Mind-blowing when you experience them yourself, but remarkably uninteresting when recounted.

"The fact that you think this way clearly indicates that you are under some misconceptions of which I must prove false. For if we continue this discussion under the pretense of these misconceptions, the entire basis of the discussion will be thrown off-balance." "I suppose that makes sense...

I may have asked this question before, but what's with the flooding of Chinese threads that occurs after almost every night?

The simple answer: HP isn't "hit points" as in the number of hits you can take, it's an abstraction of the flow of combat and yourself. Taking 10 points of HP damage means that your generally on the backfoot due to the enemy's action. How the DM wants to arbitrate that is up to the imagination...

Uh oh. First the Orcs, now the goblins...

I don't think anyone thinks there isn't more to human language than what ChatGPT outputs. But those limitations theoretically can be overcome. It wouldn't strictly be an LLM, but if we're going for "more human," then we'd have to expand past that anyways. Anyways, it's a bit off-topic on...

What's important to me, though, is if the inputs and memory barriers are the only thing stopping a "human" AI. In other words, if we were reduced to only being able to interact with the world through reading or writing text, with no visuals, sounds, etc. And if our memory was nerfed to only...

It's funny because the fact that they don't say that they are a lawyer is them basically saying they aren't a lawyer without them saying they're not a lawyer. That sentence was fun to type.

Tbf, the fact that pink floyd went back in time to change their album cover just to appeal to "them" is an egregious violation of time travel laws. You'd think after the Madela and Berenstein bear incident, time travelers would be kept in check. Never trusted them, anyways. The fact that...

I feel like WoTC wasn't aware of how many people were praying on their downfall until they genuinely made a huge mistake. It's probably too late. The ball is already rolling and we just have to see which valley it lands in. I don't really take this as either a good thing or a bad thing...

[ Yeah yeah, that's annoying. But what's more annoying is when people REFUSE to read what's posted. It's especially frustrating because they're in a forum that uses almost exclusively text.

I wanna know how the Italians feel about all this. Based off how they react when you put Ham in a Cabonara, they might not be comfortable...
