Can someone clarify to me why the magic items and the tough feat need to be in the SRD? How does their inclusion help 3PP create new content? Is it simply so you can copy it into your content? I am honestly trying to understand.

I am not really familiar with soft and hard moves, but this just seems to adversarial for my tastes. I am never trying to go against my PCs and would not like feeling I had to do that to justify giving them a success. It gets back to the idea of: don't lend money to a friend unless you truly...

I thought you might say something like that. But let's face it, a mix of BW and color and widely different quality and styles of art is been part of D&D from the beginning. You might even get some nostalgia sales out of it that way?!

My apologies, that is exactly what I was trying to do. If you are willing, can you explain where I failed in that approach? I am always hoping to improve my communication. As a starter, here is how I tried to get a across that my opinion was not based on the relation of neuroscience to AI and...

I am interested in seeing your draft rules. As described in this thread I am not understanding the benefit of your approach yet. Thank you for sharing!

On that note: @Upper_Krust , why don't you post a preview of something so we can talk about something instead of AI art!

I do not know all the science behind AI, though my son is a CS working on machine learning and AI so I do have access to a lot of information on this subject (though my wife is much more familiar with LLM than I am). All can say is, as an amateur artist, the process described by which AI...

That may be my fault unfortunately, as I am the one that brought it up. I am backing the project regardless, but I brought it up out of concern for the impact it can have on the project. I know UK is releasing this project, but I want it to spread as far and as wide as possible. I think AI art...

I think that sounds fine, but why would you not included the work you have already commissioned (in the blank or sketch version)?

I get your point, but for me, the art in 1e Deities and Demigods was what sparked my imagination as much if not more than the text. I will always ask for more and better art - but that is just me!

Thank you for giving your opinion DB, I have a couple of thoughts: I just want to point out that living artist have been "scraping artist work without their knowledge, permission, or compensation..." for centuries before AI came along and did. As an amateur artist myself I don't really find...

Wow that is interesting (and thank you for the response). I know art is subjective, but IMO, the 2024 core books have objectively the best, most talented artwork (in total) of any core books. Are there some images that could be better or that I don't like - yes. Are there some images from older...

Well, I didn't expect you to know why I'm crazy. I just thought I would share some of my own oddities. I usually think of cognitive dissonance as a bad thing, but this works for me - as I enjoy both. I think I just get a different type of enjoyment from designing something versus playing...

I agree, but that was not what I was talking about. That is why I think you misunderstood. The issue I noticed in the two posts I read was a math issue. The math didn't add up, and that probably simply resulted from a lack of detail (I don't know since I haven't looked at all the posts).

No. @ezo said they like AI art better than the "crap" in the 2024 books. That is what I was responding to.

Do you really think the 2024 core book art is crap or do just not like the style or theme of it? I can not like an image, an artist, or style and still realize it is not crap. It is just something I don't like. Though for me, whether I like it or not is completely besides the point when it...

It seems to me, that you are also misunderstanding his point. However, I will let @jgsugden respond if they feel the need as I am not invested in this discussion as the two of you are.

The surge after the new or revised edition is released is less important than the sales over time. In all previous editions (except maybe 1e) after the first year of release sales dropped significantly. 5e is really the only exception. 5e24 doesn't really need to increase sales so much as...

I have a strange relationship to this issue. I play and DM like the system doesn't matter (we play 5e, like we played 4e, like we played 1e), BUT, I design my games like the system is the most important thing! I have very different mindsets as game designer compared to when I am a player/DM...

While I agree with you; the attack on facts and science in this country can make people jumpy!
