Yes, and humans make mistakes. The scale at which DMCAs are sent out by BP companies can be very large and it involves a lot of tools for automation. Does that make it OK that a mistake occurs? No. OK so you refuse to call it an accident due to semantics and ethics- that I can understand.

Yup. Brand Protection companies. You're spot-on. That's literally it, yup. I can't speak to this specific circumstance obviously, but those things happen. You don't need docusign to send a DMCA. If you want to call it a failure of process instead of an accident, fine, cuz yes someone somewhere...

Accidental DMCAs happen. It's usually because someone new did it, or they're using a crappy Brand Protection company, or it's something automated/AI-based (been out of the IP game for a few years now, not sure what's been advanced in that field).

I guess it was like, what, 8+ years ago? Within the first dozen or so RtG videos. Colville was really very inspirational for me, even though I'd been DMing on and off for years (playing for longer). I went from running once per two weeks, to running once or twice per week. His manner is a little...

There's a music video from a cartoon somewhere that explains code-switching... Can't remember the show, though.

I'll say that reducing max hp without a save seems like it should be scary- the lvl6 melee warlock in one of my recent sessions was down to 11 max hp ... but for some reason, it's not like.. "oh sht I've been level-drained down to 2nd level from 6th" scary. The character isn't losing capability...

The post I replied to was literally saying "I wouldn't let mage hand disarm traps or pick locks unless the player had a good reason to be able to see the mechanism from a distance" 😅

That hits on niche protection: there's a feature that exists (AT's Mage Hand Legerdemain) that specifically allows you to use thieves tools to disarm traps and pick locks with Mage Hand. Allowing mage hand to do so without that feature buffs the cantrip greatly, and invalidates a big feature of...

It occurs to me that OP didn't specify whether they were looking for a heritage, or a monster... and we're all just assuming heritage. They did ask about the MoMe, which makes me think they meant monster.

Why is no one talking about it? Well, it came out over a year ago 😅 It had some chatter about it around its release time- there was a lot of talk about the unfortunate production problems of the cards being ruined by ambient moisture, which iirc was later resolved but might've delayed its...

It's rare, but pointing to my own earlier post.. tragedy is more likely (IMO) to occur by way of the PCs making in-character choices. It does require them to lean into roleplaying, acting as they think their character would, and it probably (not necessarily) means going against the common "must...

Yup! I noted in the OP that this was just Utility cantrips we were talking about; maybe I missed someone else's post about limiting ALL cantrips, but as noted in OP I was against limiting attack cantrips due to mechanical concerns, pretty much what you cited :'D

I think this is just a misalignment of expectations regarding what kind of setting you have in your D&D world, and what kind of challenges you draw inspiration from in challenging the party. It's definitely "on me" to address trying to run D&D in NOT a high-fantasy world, and this thread is one...

I guess I've had a bunch. Some were incredibly well-done thanks to player buy-in (that's pretty important in general). Off the top of my head, the birth of Lareth the Beautiful was a tragedy of a PC's own making. tldr: "Lareth the Beautiful" (cleric to an evil deity with half his face scarred...

Can you help define tragedy in this context? Perhaps provide an example or two?

I appreciate the question, because I wasn't sure where it ended up either after knowing about the playtest 10-level version.

The West Marches style of play is sort of based off of the original premise, but these characters are all still tied to one West Marches Campaign. The closest you might to your original citation is Adventurers League- but that's not taking characters between campaigns, they're basically...

I think Paypal was confused as to why they were involved in a $0.00 transaction 😂 I don't have to do that for $0 stuff on DTRPG 🤔 Anyway, grabbed it cuz I can't afford the FOMO. Thanks for the heads up!

Trying to understand said posts, I think the fear is that the game will be designed for online play over in-person tabletop. I'm not exactly sure what that looks like, but I can understand the fear even if I don't agree with it.
