Agreed. And it isn't just the companies we should be considering, but the games themselves. In order to be a D&D killer, it has to be a game that tens or hundreds of thousands of people will play over and over and over, for years. When most of the folks we know are making it their game of...

This was Trek. If anything, it was not offhand appropriation, but offhand commentary on the 90s fad of appropriating cultural iconography in tattoos...

He has a sense of humor. But he's also been trying to get another similar project off the ground since before the pandemic, and is unlikely to lightly use anything that might tie rights up in weird ways.

And is apparently coming back to Spider-Man with a mini-series later this year. We don't see a lot of output him from him recently largely because he became the executor of Harlan Ellison's estate, and spent a great deal of time making arrangements for its perpetuity.

He could... but most certainly would not.

Not to turn this thread into a discussion of history, but while nobody could predict the day, the collapse of the Soviet Union was a cascade of events over the course of years. It was not a surprise to those who were watching.

You wanna know if a game that releases one month ago has a "realistic shot" at taking down a game that's been top dog for 50 years? How about you come back in a couple of years, and let's see if Daggerheart is a going concern, before we have that other discussion, hm?

Quite possible. He got Daggerheart as a major project completed and under his belt. That's an awesome milestone, marking a good point for a change in direction.

Randall generally plucks the low-hanging fruit. You gotta try a little harder to not repeat his jokes.

Unobtainium, to save the planet!

Then go ahead and make one. See how it goes. Generative AI has issues with maintaining context for more than about a paragraph. So, you will have to do the work of guiding it into a cohesive whole... So, you personally have to ride herd on it through that whole process. And you and a editor...

Now, ask it to write an entire book for you.

Imagine that someone pirates a WotC work years from now. Hasbro/WotC takes them to court. The accused then points to WotC's public statements about embracing AI. The issue of the work's provenance then becomes a matter for discovery in the case. WotC will have to provide names and dates and...

At the moment, it is. But, at the moment, it also cannot do the job you suggest. If it manages to become that good (which it may not, for technical reasons), the providers of the system will ask for more money, after making it extremely awkward to get off the system... Also, iirc, the current...

Mod note: Right, because we all know that pre-emptively calling moderators names absolves you of responsibility for your own actions! If you had bothered to read the site rules, which are linked on the bottom of every single page, you'd have known about the limits on language use, and how we...

Savage Worlds and Scum and Villany jump to mind. Ashen Stars might serve, with some lore adjustments.

I played a one-shot with them this past weekend. They are a bit crunchy, as advertised.

With respect, the point is that the biggest names in D&D are not Perkins and Crawford, or even in the game design and writing space. The actually best known names associated with the game today are on Critical Role. Don't get me wrong - I like Perkins' and Crawford's work. I enjoy their game...

Please consider how much this looks like partisan threadcrapping. Then, consider not making this a habit. Thanks.

Yes. The soda fountain is the end of the pipe.
