Honestly, what I read in the OP article sounds 'fake' from Mike Mearls, and quite honestly, a bit dishonest. Like the D&D fanboy that got disillusioned by his obsession, especially when he now works for Chaosium (which doesn't do D&D 5e compatible products at all as far as I can tell). What I...

I wonder how dedicated people are to your convictions? What about programmers using AI, AI trained on others code (without permission). This forum uses XenForo, what if the programmers there used AI in their writing code for this forum software? There are some good indicators that this is the...

Patience...

But then they don't equal (or surpass) their human counter parts, as the mods do answer question about their mod decisions. And folks willing to pay for AI mods on here? Why? There are perfectly fine free mods currently active. The only people that would complain about the mods are those that...

I think that's an assumption, just like the line-welder in the car assembly plant said "Robots can never replace me!". AI moderators have the possibility of always being at the same state. Not being cranky due to a bad night, etc. You could get more consistent moderation, in theory. Question...

Our AI Overlords will then run the AINNIE Awards... ;)

They just don't have room in the schedule, they need to rehash all the content from the last decade asap... ;) But the reality is that you got a Curse of Strahd once in eleven years and an Vecna: Eve of Ruin once in eleven years... Even if they move to a biannual campaign release schedule...

EM isn't the only impatient person, many investors are, people want to make money now! ;) The problem is that you would need a person or group of people with enough money, patients/coherency for 5-10 years AND no profit in mind. Because D&D and Magic might be keeping Hasbro on live-support...

Yes, as I said doing it slowly could work. But Hasbro/WotC stock isn't exactly volatile, so there's not traded much (1.5 million per day). As the US stock exchange is only open 5 days per week, and how much can you acquire per day without driving up the price consistently? Maybe 10% if you don't...

What people tend to forget is that it's not just about someone buying xyz, but the people currently owning xyz willing to part with it. When you show major interest, the price goes up significantly. Every day around 1.5 million shares of Hasbro stock are traded, even if you bought up all of...

Death threats and racial attacks are not OK in any circumstance. But what is asked is not to help stop that, but to remove the criticism towards EGG and DS, that is something completely different! And while asking nicely is always allowed imho, and blowing up the asking nicely thing with another...

facepalm Yep, that's digging yourself a bigger hole EGG! When you go from asking nicely to making legal threats...

With a company name like Evil Genius Games, I don't expect them to have a company motto like "Don't be evil"... ;) But I think that Dave Scott underestimated the 'community' aspect of running a pnp RPG company and how easily you can offend and alienate a very loud minority of that pnp RPG...

This is pretty much how I feel about D&D 2024/2025 in general, as if they took D&D and started cutting left and right, tacking on all kinds of stuff and it's all being done by different contractors, not coordinating well... Now we're stuck with an upside-down house. We generally play D&D (2e...

I strongly dislike the Vampire 5e art style (dislike is an understatement)! I like how Onyx Path handled V20 (and all the other WoD settings), art style, game style, etc. If I was to run Vampire again, it would be V20. I'm a big fan of the old WW stuff, a big part of that was the art style, as...

Or all the people that did play D&D didn't want to touch this with a ten-foot pole, kept their mouths shut and quietly left the room... ;) Yeah, but the reason why they existed was different. It wasn't because mommy human and daddy orc loved each other very much... We also had a...

But do you agree that this is the exception to the rule, many early access games fail to deliver what they promised, no matter the good intentions. But the funny thing is, there is Larian DLC: Baldur's Gate 3 - Digital Deluxe Edition DLC Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Companion: Sir Lora the...

The comparison is a bit skewed. The only reason that BG3 doesn't have any DLC is because the developer (Larian) said "We're done with D&D and WotC!", not because the IP owners (WotC/Hasbro) didn't want any DLC. Some people also forget that BG3 also had the Early Access scheme for almost three...

40k lore has always been mutating, very little of original 'Rogue Trader' (1987) is left. Some of the changes have been for the better, some have been for the worse. I find that most of the sarcasm has been lost and 40k lore takes itself way too serious these days... But I've always seen each...

In what kind of fantasy world are you living? No matter what you do, someone will be offended if they know about it, no matter what you do. The point is, who do you NOT want to offend, and that is telling of the company, the location, the culture, and the era it is made in. And how that is...
