    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    It's not a dichotomy, the assumption is that you don't have infinite travel companions to choose from.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Who would you rather take a 10-hour road trip with: the best Star Wars fan the worst D&D fan

    California bill (AB 412) would effectively ban open-source generative AI

    The issue isn't that smaller companies will be more affected than larger ones. That's a(nother) misdirection. The issue is, and always has been, that AI was trained from stolen material, and the artists and writers are entitled to compensation for their stolen works.

    California bill (AB 412) would effectively ban open-source generative AI

    Oh I tried, but I had to stop at "A.I. Training Is Like Reading" because that's just false. But I'll try again... They're right about it being a gift for big tech. But then again: isn't the cat already out of the bag and et cetera? But in all honesty: this is the first real piece of...

    California bill (AB 412) would effectively ban open-source generative AI

    Even so, I'd support it. It's what the AI opposition has been clamoring for all along: disclosure of every single copyrighted work used in training AI. Disclosing means they are one step closer to paying people for the use of their creations.

    What Are Your Non-Gaming Hobbies/Interests?

    I have a few hobbies, yeah. When I'm not working or playing D&D, or playing video games, I dabble in any of the following. Gardening: I like to grow my own herbs, tea, and veggies. Brewing: I like to make my own beer and mead, too. And that got me started on... Food preservation: I make...

    Cookin again

    I almost posted this in the Pineapple Express thread, but reconsidered at the last moment. Now I know you've heard of Pineapple Upside-Down Cake; it's an American classic. But did you know that you can make any canned fruit into an "upside-down cake"? It's true! You don't even need a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hypothetical: WotC goes under and Hasbro vaults D&D. Now What?

    I wanted to argue against this, but I've seen how we treat each other. Not so much here on EN World, but in larger groups on the Internet (Reddit, Facebook groups, YouTube video comments, RPG.net, etc.).

    D&D 5E (2014) What If Everyone Could Use Scrolls? (House rule)

    Ah, I get what you're saying. I suppose it would be possible for the party to use multiple scrolls at once in a single round, in the hope of dealing ~28 points of fire damage for every week of downtime and 400gp the wizard spent on those scrolls. Assuming there were no complications during...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hypothetical: WotC goes under and Hasbro vaults D&D. Now What?

    As others have insinuated, I doubt I would even notice. I'm not saying it wouldn't be a big deal; my friends and I just don't pay that close of attention. We don't subscribe to their newsletters, we don't follow them on social media, we don't use D&D Beyond, we don't browse the Wizards website...
