I didn't bring this up you did... if it doesn't matter to you we agree it doesn't matter. As a tool to interact with a real life human can (in theory) get more work done better. By itself (at least for now) it's hit or miss on the best days.

The 'squicky' is there... it's in those episodes and it's in many more (again any one using quirks made me even as a teen say "wait what WOULD you do in there" But we have 'Suicky' with real live DMs... start a thread asking how many women DON'T have a story... although you may loose faith in...

I thought I included that part was squicky and way to close to the (worse) Barkly episode, or the assumed use of the holo suites... No one said ever "these miss uses of tool x means no one should use tool x" and I am pretty sure we would all love to be able to walk into a holodeck and say...

yeah the first of the two with this is a GREAT example, the chief engineer of the ship has a problem he can't figure out so he has the computer make a 'chatgpt' version of the design head and they trouble shoot together. It is JUST an interface, all the info had to be in the computer already...

There are MANY episodes of star trek the next gen where they use the holodeck to create an approximity of someone to problem solve with (I think voyager did it with da vinci too) I am going to get a lot of hate from my answer, but maybe-probably. here is why I can't say for sure... the real...

I saw it as a chicken and the egg issue... something that I have found was true in the 90s and as I brought in new players... The player had 1 or 2 bad experiences, then ALL the players just refused to give families... when one DID step up with a family or friend or lover then the DM would...

I'm not sure why you would jump to accuseing me and my friends of railroading... it doesn't take any choice away from the player and in the case of all the people I have met irl who have seen it in play have found quite the reveres... it frees you to make ANY type of character you want. "my...

right, and it wouldn't work for all games... I will say that if you sat at our table you would have to put up with it... and if you ran for us and broke that gentleman's agreement it would probably get you a few hurt looks in shock and then maybe a 'not cool' after the section... if you kept...

even if the warzone WAS all around her... she had plot armor and so did her house... no touchy... unless in game a player did something to bring danger it would be all around her, she would even act scared of it, and the PC could talk about how he feared for her all alone... but out of game...

I had forgotten this until I read this... the time a DM let someone bring in a character to a high level game and gave them some god awful high amount of XP... so they made a human who went 3rd level fighter then X level thief and then made it to X+1 in wizard. so he had a x3 back stab and...

right but those tech upgrades started the path of automation to where we are now... each step made it less man hours (or atleast man minutes) per use so less people could do more pretty sure I said the same thing earlier... that is a problem WAY too far in the weeds to talk about here. There...

For years my group has run "off limits" places and things with just friendly agreement... it stopped the "Everyone is an orphan" issue back in the 90s in 2e and really started in 3e... everyone has a home they can go to and family and friends, they can be as detailed as the player wants and the...

I am normally so with you, but on this I just don't see it. We used to have to hand run credit cards by entering the number into the register and then running a press over paper with the card under it, then enter the paper into the register to print with the recite, then we needed you to sign...

Great example time... We do 2 weeks of one game and 2 weeks of another, that way no one is forever DM... but I run and play on 2 nights, so at any point I am running 2 games and playing in 2 games... we had a bunch of real life pitb things come up and went 5 weeks between game 17 and 18 of my...

Last night before Tue night game I and the 2 other DMs that reguallary run talked about it... as long as you are spending a feat and a spell slot we are all good with this 'cheese' Yes, buff and heal as a reaction is cool and powerful, but it is also team work. Someone taking a feat to spend...

When Covid hit we took a quick 2-3 week break and used Roll20 for free... that stretched on and on as the lock down did. 1 player passed away. 1 player had a son. 1 player got a job on the other side of our small state... we picked up one of my OTHER game night players since he didn't need to...

This may fix something... the dramatic last minute 'catch' someone as they fall past you... but it not only uses your reaction but your op attack

I used to have a good friend and player who graduated college the year I was born... he had to learn how to program punch cards. My Uncle was at NASA for the moon landing... Both of them (unfortunately gone now) lived long enough to see things that we play with that might as well have been sci...

can it though? When I was younger spryer of both mind and body I would keep quick notes as I DMed... to this day I know 2 people we call 'note takers' as players... we would be hard pressed to get that print out after every game. Today I am juggling Roll20, Discord, and trying to keep track of...

This is the of AI I see being used at my table in the future... something that records and summarizes... yes please.
