If a person enters a restaurant and starts being loud and obnoxious, the restaurant owner is expected to kick them out. If a person sets up a stall at an outdoor market, and starts hanging tapes and rope that obstructs customers' ability to enter areas of other shops and stalls, the other...

There's nothing wrong about somebody generating AI images for personal use, but when AI images presented as commercial products hit the market sites like DMsGuild and DriveThruRPG, issues rise up. In the practical example of what happened on GameDev Market, legitimate artists had their business...

One of the observed problems in practice, in the example of what happened on Game Dev Market, is that AI-generated images can be mass-produced at a rate and scale that can flood a site so badly, that people have a hard time finding non-AI stuff unless they bookmarked art from before AI...

When AI-image sellers popped up on GameDevMarket, they started spamming the site with "new products", which made legitimate artist works much harder to search for. It got so bad that the site had to lock down against any new AI-image products on the site, which even then feels like a half...

I think for the sake of calculation, it's worth reminding that as a rough rule of thumb for determining how much a movie studio earns from a movie, final box office is halved, since the theaters are not owned by the same companies as the movie studios. As such, if Honor Among Thieves production...

A common habit of DMs that I've observed is to make all enemies fight to the death every battle no matter what the circumstances are, while in many cases it's actually more natural to have enemies retreat when they realize their chances of victory are not enough for them to justify staying to...

Chapter 8 of the DMG has a small section on Improvised Damage, not to be confused with Improvised Weapons (PHB). It's easily overlooked that environments and structures can be destructible or dangerous, such as a red dragon diving into a pool of magma then coming up fast to splash burning death...

Aside from the usual forums like this one, there are Facebook groups and discords if one is looking for an alternative to Reddit. Meetup.com also may have a local community in your area for things like asking around about places to host DnD sessions.

When Thanos confronts the Avengers in Infinity War, it's to get the Mind stone, and since using the Reality stone is likely taxing on the mind, and he just came from fighting a long battle, he probably has to pace himself to avoid possibly breaking himself mentally while trying to incorporate...

"DnD is a gateway game" "I guess it makes you want to crack open a book" "Ugh, dad...."

Movies have to make back what they cost to make and more. As such, the less they make in week 1, the smaller the percentage the studios will want the drop off to be in week 2, because movies have limited runs in theaters. As such, the movie studios want reduced drop off percentages to help...

I can tell you (not really) from real life experience that magical energy is needed to exceed human limits of martial prowess. The last time space aliens invaded my home town, I had to use a lot of it to deal with their giant monsters.

That's not the point I was pursuing. My point was that the values (perhaps I should have said perceived values) of drop offs are not the same at the same percentages, in response to the potential implication that HAT had a good drop off.

A possibly unpopular opinion: Martials SHOULD be magical at the highest levels. They should be able to cut through steel. They should be able to move at blazing speeds. They should be able to leap great distances. They should be able to stand their ground against punches from giants and tail...

I'm not a mind reader nor one of the studio executives so I wouldn't have intimate knowledge of whether they want a movie to succeed or fail. Even if a drop off is assumed in an expected range, percentage-wise, that doesn't make it automatically good for what it cost to make. The movie needed a...

Anyone can look up how much movies make week to week on Box Office Mojo, so it's not hard to find that not all movies make the same amount in week 1, and it's not exactly a secret that different demographics exist within the general audience, with different impacts on them and different...

Not all movies make the same amount of ticket sales in the first week though, so other factors have to be considered when deciding whether the same percentages for drop off rate are good or not. I'm saying that the actual floor would be closer to the top if the top's amount is lower, which...

That's the thing about the World Between Worlds, it can bridge different time periods, potentially resulting in new timelines, new worlds as it were, born of actions taken across time.

My solution to the potential dissatisfaction of multiclassing was to make multiclass feats that characters can spend their usual AB/feat slots for. It helps keep things relatively balanced without significantly changing the mechanics of the game, and offers potentially flavorful rewards for...

I'm half worried that Kathleen Kennedy will push to have Ahsoka and Ezra killed off to increase the legitimacy of the sequel trilogy. I'm half expecting that Team Filoni/Favreau will use the World Between Worlds to establish the Star Wars parallel dimensions, which would future-proof Team...
