    AI is stealing writers’ words and jobs…

    so the big issue now is the AI bots (though smart scripting bot's is a better term. they aren't really AI) were all trained using data scraped from the internet using Fair Use Doctrine. Now the issue is the Bots aren't smart enough to not violate copyright law or other intellectual property...

    every kind of intellectual property has these kinds of people leeching off the system.

    Spoilers Avatar The Last Airbender live-action [SPOILERS]

    I thought the first 4 worked very well even though the were cramming multiple episodes per episode it seemed to flow well. loved it up to the island. After the island the pacing gets wonky and and feels way off. I feel like they needed about 3 or 4 more episodes to make the pacing work...

    D&D 5E (2024) Things You Think Would Improve the Game That We WON'T See

    or monks could have access to ki or magical powers that give them stoneskin, ironskin etc as they level. But it needs to be something like rage powers that can be used a lot not just a few times a day like spells.

    D&D 5E (2024) Things You Think Would Improve the Game That We WON'T See

    Magic needs to be wiped and completely redone. We can keep the vancian leveling if the sacred cow is too big but we need to go back to each type of caster has thier own spell list that the Devs can keep appropriately powered per level and quit giving everyone access to everyone elses spells...

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    well only rewarding what you the DM feels is important is everything we've talked about that tends to go wrong with Milestone Leveling. Experience comes from everything you do or it's just a railroad.

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    Of course when magic items weren't passe and bad they were a good way to reward players. Awarding XP happens for unimportant things too when the party decides to go the wrong way, refuses to do the main quest and does a side quest or just jacks around in town and gets crossways with the...

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    true but we have a three generations of trophy kids who all got trophies when they lost playing D&D now. I suspect that's the reason for the focus only on group rewards.

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    I agree resource's mean nothing in 5e. Short and long rests being codified broke what was left of resources mattering. i've more than once called 5e the "anime version" of D&D

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    simply poking back exactly the way you did. your words. "An awful lot of people play survival video games, where food/water keep you from not dying. They seem to be having fun." For the record if they love it more power to them. I simply posted my opinion of it. your the one...

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    Problem with getting upset with someone presenting opinion as objective proof is there is no way for you to actually tell if they view it as objective or subjective. I think the majority post thier opinions from thier own subjective view. Probably healthier to assume that's what's being done...

    An awful lot of people are rich. does that mean most are?

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    an awf the statement an awful lot is personal and subjective. give me some numbers of survival games vs MMO's, RPG's and first person shooters then it'll mean something.

    D&D 5E (2014) Boon Ideas for a God of Maintaining Cultural Norms and Resistance to Change

    well if we are talking the hebrew bible we are talking apples vs oranges and since the King James version was codified impossible to square with each other.

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    Are they the best players? Or merely the ones who pay more subscription time because they like to do it hard mode and that takes more time? I think Game companies have a vested interest in rewarding those hard core mode players by selling the myth that they are better. But better at what...

    D&D 5E (2014) Boon Ideas for a God of Maintaining Cultural Norms and Resistance to Change

    No conformity is not the opposite of Compassion. Indifference or uncaring is the opposite of compassion. The Bible does emphasize that Group think or one speakings took over the people. But they got slapped down for trying to build a tower to heaven when they fell into that group think. The...

    AD&D 1E AD&D players and referees, what do you think of ascending AC?

    I think Armor should just soak damage or be DR. AC should be roughly the same for all Human sized objects, then you can increase it with Dex, magical effects etc. But if Armor just soaked up damage it would make more sense to me. If you've ever done any sparring you still get bruised and...

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    This says it better than I ever had. The trying not to fail is just exhausting and not fun. It's also a bit too close to real world BS that we are all trying to avoid.

    D&D 5E (2014) Boon Ideas for a God of Maintaining Cultural Norms and Resistance to Change

    God didn't hate conformity. he was very happy till they tried to build a tower to heaven that mortals could use to go visit before they died. God divided them so they couldn't cooperate and get there. He punished them for Hubris not because he hated conformity. The bible is actually all...

    D&D 5E (2014) Apprentice Wizard- Arcane Burst power

    not sure on the details in the rules, but we've always made arcane damage more like "magical energy" and Force as a seperate effect. Think fire, electrical, cold, radiation, arcane with force being more physical. the benefit of doing it that way is you can have magical raw energy attacks...
