    ENnies To Ban Generative AI From 2025

    I think the answer is to create your own Award with which you can choose the parameters for entry?

    ENnies To Ban Generative AI From 2025

    Exactly, well said. Nobody is stopping anyone from using AI, or even publishing work with AI. But some folks are choosing not to support it, usually due to the fact that it takes work away from humans. So @Lanefan , if you don't want to work with an artist and just use AI, you're right that the...

    D&D General Playing to "Win" - The DM's Dilemma

    In d20 Conan, characters with the Pirate class got the ability to coup-de-grace as a free action. So the pirate character would walk around the battlefield, finishing off fallen foes as she went. It was pretty chilling!

    ENnies To Ban Generative AI From 2025

    Two thoughts: 1) Artists almost always send multiple drafts and revisions to whoever is commissioning them. Revision is a baked-in part of the process. 2) I think your situation is somewhat analogous to giving a painter a photograph and saying "paint this." The painter could just replicate the...

    D&D General Playing to "Win" - The DM's Dilemma

    For a while I was playing in a 4e game in which the understanding was: Since the players can work together to develop tactics and get time between rounds to make plans, the enemies get to act with metaknowledge of whose defenses are weakest, how spell effects work, etc. I liked this because...

    Should Wizardry Require Player Intelligence?

    Honestly I think every role should have the potential for god-brain tactics and also beer-and-pretzel play. There should be room for spellcasters that just press the Eldritch Blast button over and over again, and spellcasters who have calculated how to cast three fireballs in the perfect...

    Can we replace human moderators with AI?

    I'm curious what kind of behavior you think human moderators have "scared away" that an AI Moderator would allow?

    Can we replace human moderators with AI?

    The only proof you need of the limits of AI is this thread itself. There's no way an AI would ever come up with something like this!

    When did the "C" drop from CRPGs and when did "TT"RPG spring up?

    I had no idea about these connections but that's really cool! Thanks for sharing it.

    Star Trek and Idealism vs cynicism

    I think the only way to make a Section 31 show work would be to make sure they're still villainous, and have the main character be a double agent who is trying to bring it down. They would slowly convert others by reminding them of the optimism and hope of the Federation until they finally mount...

    Looking for advice on starting a store & initial inventory

    I used the live down the street from there!!! I loved it. Inner Sunset was a wonderful place to live.

    D&D 5E (2014) Lycanthrope Player Characters - How Would YOU Do It?

    I would definitely just modify a class. Barbarian would probably be my go-to, with the character transforming into a werewolf form when they rage.

    D&D General Are You There D&D? It's Me, J.R.R. Tol-KEEEEN!

    You can tell most posters didn't read Snarf's entire post before commenting.

    This is the first time I've been able to read an entire Snarf post in one sitting!

    Watching films at the cinema - also, RIP David Lynch.

    With a 3 year old at home, going to the movies has become a real treat for my wife and I. We probably go every 3 months or so when we can get a babysitter or when we are visiting our parents. It does feel different, especially if you can catch the movie in a big crowd that's buying into it...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Having lived in and driven around California, there are definitely parts that feel in the middle of nowhere. I lived in Visalia, a city in the Central Valley, for a bit and once I was driving someone about an hour to Kettleman City, a small town that's mostly a big truck stop. When we got onto...

    Planning a 3-Night RPG (and hiking) getaway (recommendations needed!)

    We are one month away and I am very excited! Right now we have 8 folks for the first night, 6 for the second, and 3 for the third. I think this is going to be a real success.

    D&D 5E (2024) How Important Is The Lore

    I feel much more inspired when the lore gives me options instead of dictates on singular truth. For example, I would like it if the Troll entry in the MM presented a few ways for a DM to include them in a campaign: as solitary lurkers in the dark, more legend than anything; as a unified kingdom...

    D&D General [ART THREAD]Your Personal Favorite D&D Art For a Monster
