True, a lot of change in a generation. I'm not sure I always agree with how people characterize things, but it's been a lot of change regardless. Generally for the better I think.

Is it really a TTRPG topic if you can't make anthropomorphis soft porn art for it? :)

Musk tweeted today that he's launching an AI GameDev studio for video games. His tweet "Too many game studios that are owned by massive corporations. @xAI is going to start an AI game studio to make games great again! " There's something deeply ironic about a tech billionaire declaring he'll...

Is this the part where we discuss the difference between Childish and Child-Like? :)

top shelf quote!

Though I am not religious, it brings to mind the quote "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, understood as a child, and thought as a child. When I became a man, I put away childish things."

It's changing so much, I've kind of tuned out until they reach a production version of the game. It'll be interesting to see what kind of community interest it gets, if any. I am curious but otherwise, I don't really think about it. I was a backer so we'll find out sooner or later.

The Jury has been in on 4e. Retconning it to be some unpopular opinion is super wierd.

The guy likes what he likes. No harm in it. It's only wierd because he's a bit elitist about it. He's a Monologue-er, not really looking for dialog. So he gets pretty aggressive or dismissive at times if there's another opinion, but I give that a pass because I know dealing with people...

It's wierd for me to watch him. He and I are about the same age and he comes off as someone stuck at some earlier point in his life who has a captive audience so he'd decided to retconn a story in about how cool and hip the stuff he liked was. I legit expect him to do a stream on the "indie...

I think you probably want to consider the environment pretty heavily. Not just the group but the fact that you'll be in a library with kids and parents around. So I'd avoid Strahd and horror based game. Phandever, Stormwreck, Witchlight, some of the anthology stuff, is probably a good fit.

I wrote something today after watching Tim Cain's (Fallout, Troika) recent video about Temple of Elemental Evil being left out of Art & Arcana. Between that and our ongoing discussions about Gary's legacy, and given a lot of the discussions online and on EN World, I've been thinking a lot about...

So, you're sitting there thinking Taylor Swift is going to show up at your house and let you keep her? ooooookay.

My only answer to anyone who wants me to comment on Musk is that "I don't have a favorite billionare."

Especially at higher levels, when you should have been more compitent.

Thanks for your reply. I may not have framed it right. I was meaning to say this can be a problem and the article is just for an examination of where design in this case is more likley to cause a problem and why so DMs can think through mitigation strategies. Lots of people are replying that...

I think a Fantasy would can include any number of things. Almsot anything can exist. I don't really understand the "should" framing though. Games and settings should have the elements needed to make them fun and engaging backdrops for the kinds of game the DMs want to run. They're fictional...

My take on that follows the quote "Never wrestle a pig. After two hours you'll both be filthy and you'll realize the pig is having fun."

Also, yes the invisibility condition came to mine a bit. There are things that are just outright confusing. Something about that and other elements, and that way the discussion is framed around it seemed odd to me. It occured to me late that there's a shift in the fundamental assumptions about...

Ha! Thank you. It's embarassing but I appreciate the heads up.
