More original then whom? Which human? D&D is pillaged from fiction without much work put into it, at least Tolkien pillaged, but put a lot of work into it. And compared to which human? A good DM? A good writer? How good? If we were to grade the D&D novels, not many would rise above dime store...

An 18 year old might 'plan' for retirement, but that's not a detailed plan for the next ~50 years. To many unknowns for a detailed plan over that much time. Maybe a very long lived individual with high intelligence and a LOT of resources (information) can make detailed plans for a 100 years...

@DEFCON 1 We already had the 4e FR campaign guide for the 100 year leap, 5e book would update another ~15 year after that. But regarding a 100 year leap... Sure things happened... But were they that earth shattering? Let's take 1900 to 2000: Two world wars, cold war, atomics, flight, automobile...

Writer of the article didn't know this bit of lore 15min before writing the article... Must be a slow news day... OP misrepresents the article as some of stance by Wargamer... What else is new... PDK is a 1000+ year old organization, things change in that time. The Lego company started with...

I use r1 671b for writing read aloud texts from simple room descriptions (without asking for DM notes!). Example: I then run the read aloud text through ElevenLabs (Callum v1) to generate a sound file that reads this aloud for the players. Next step would be to run the same read aloud text...

A LOT of the TSR stuff was done and OCRed 20-30 years ago by a company working for WotC (Jim Butler ran that, might even have been Bastion Press), what was missing has been done since. We had the Dragon Archive. Probably all the novels in epub format. The big issues were the 3e/4e books, but...

All the RPG books and novels for D&D have been available on the internet. Anything scanned got OCRed. The question of course is, was ChatGPT version x trained on that? But what about all the AI/LLM models? And even IF none were trained on that particular information, I expect that someone else...

An eclipse is just an object that obscures the sun, it could be a moon. The question would then be, which moon? One of the existing moons? Is this how the Death Star shows up in your campaign or does some new populated (by what) moon show up. On the other hand, it could also be an asteroid or...

They stopped doing that because so many of their employees turned Chaotic Neutral and the results is TONS of randomly killed project in the Google project graveyard... That is not true. You can run AI/LLM perfectly on device, so you can just sell software that people can run locally, like we've...

At this point I'm wondering if Mr. Vincke is 'inventing' a new story/reason for every interview. Or if he's trying to roll back those burned bridges... Or the reason why they didn't do BG4 is due to a multitude of reasons and depending on when you ask, what's the most important reason might...

@humble minion (what an appropriate name! ;) ) It could be a joined mission of inter cooperation, or a Space Marine exchange program, preparation for some kind of Crusade, refugees from other Chapters, etc. I think they'll come up with some good motivations in the book...

Think it of playing a set of Black Adder and Baldrick... The Chapter Serf that's attached to your Space Marine will probably be holding the target during practice:

But wasn't one of those 40k lines taken over from another publisher (Wrath & Glory from Uliesses Spiele). It started out a bit more cartoony than most of us would like, it seems that has changed a bit over the years. Imperium Maledictum is C7s own D100 take of 40k, the HH RPG is 30k. It wouldn't...

That's pretty much what they do. They still have the Dr. Who license, don't know if they released anything new recently though. They still have some 5e products in their shop (two products even in Q1 2025). But it's probably a safe bet that 75%+ of C7 is Warhammer x...

Mostly interested in the art from this and possibly the fluff (there's a TON already out there).

It's out, as in officialy WotC/D&D licensed modules, @$30/module. PHB/DMG 2024 have been out for a while, MM 2025 has been out for a week and a half (and still has some bugs). I have them all, very, very nice! The price is well worth the saved effort of doing it yourself...

I don't necessarily agree, it dilutes the market. And let's be honest here, many VTT projects have just absolutely failed to deliver made promises. That dilutes trust even more, an insane amount of VTTs makes it impossible to choose and impossible for publishers to support them all unless...

Was that exactly what you imagined in every detail? If so, that's incredibly lucky! Because I get what Overgeeked is getting at. If you have a general idea or no specific depiction in your head, the image generation can be perfectly fine, maybe even better then that depending on the model used...

Yours or theirs? Creating VTTs costs money, creating VTTs in a big enterprise environment (like at WotC/Hasbro) costs LOTS of money. You also paid for Foundry VTT, everyone needs to eat and businesses only assign money to projects that eventually turn profitable. Free can't be profitable...

To be fair... If you see a Pokemon in the 1920s there might be something seriously wrong with you... ;) But it's a mechanic that the game is centered on, similarly in D&D where you get hit by a crossbow bolt and you just scratch off a couple of hitpoints and then do a 50 mile cross country hike...
