    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Talks AI Usage in D&D [UPDATED!]

    Sure, and I've addressed multiple groups and Adventurer's League. Depends upon what is meant by "regularly." 30-40 people regularly gathering together to play with Cocks doesn't sound like the usual D&D experience.

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Talks AI Usage in D&D [UPDATED!]

    I get the idea that multiple groups can exist. I've had times in my life when that has been true. Really, it's not even that big of a deal. I'm just a little bit baffled by what is meant by saying "...regularly..." with "...30-40..." people. Maybe that is true for him. Maybe I'm out of...

    Status of Edge of the Empire?

    I highly enjoyed Edge of the Empire (hence my interest). If there were a middle ground between Genesys (which has nothing pre-built) and Edge (which has things pre-made) that used the same system for a generic sci-fi game, I would be interested in it. To me, Edge often felt like playing a...

    Status of Edge of the Empire?

    I wouldn't mind seeing another try at using the system for Warhammer. I feel like what FFG Star Wars did was an improved version of what the (I think) 3rd Edition of Warhammer was trying to do. With some of the kinks ironed out and an upcoming show (produced by Henry Cavill,) it could...

    Status of Edge of the Empire?

    The last thing I've heard about Fantasy Flight Games's Star Wars game (Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, Force and Destiny) was moved under the umbrella of Asmodee. However, I haven't heard anything after that. (Likewise for Genesys.) The Asmodee store shows that you can buy some of the...

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Talks AI Usage in D&D [UPDATED!]

    i was confused by that quote too. Do 30 or 40 people regularly play with Cocks at the same time? That sounds like a drastically different Dungeons & Dragons experience than any that I've had. Trying to imagine that doesn't resemble anything like the groups with whom I've gamed over the years...

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Talks AI Usage in D&D [UPDATED!]

    As it stands, the corporate investors appear to be more satisfied with Cocks than some of the general community. Here, self checkout is starting to be used in a lot more places. Even the small gas station down the road from me now has a "self service" counter. What I meant by using AI like...

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Talks AI Usage in D&D [UPDATED!]

    So, it's more like Cocks being dangled in front of Sachs as part of a basic corporate affair? That makes a little more sense. I had thought AI might be used in a manner similar to a supermarket using self-check out at a supermarket. Instead of needing a handful of cashiers, you only need one...

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Talks AI Usage in D&D [UPDATED!]

    That sounds dire. How painful do you expect things to get if Sachs follow Cocks into D&D? With as much as was spent to purchase DDB, I imagine that Hasbro hopes to get a return on investment. Does Goldman Sachs having a working relationship with WotC or Hasbro?

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Talks AI Usage in D&D [UPDATED!]

    I think it's natural for some portion of the D&D audience to be uncomfortable with Cocks and Sachs working together. According to AI: "A cost curve is a graph that shows the relationship between the total quantity produced and the costs of production. Cost curves are important for firms to...

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Talks AI Usage in D&D [UPDATED!]

    Get as many people as you can on DDB and a VTT; have some manner of TOS (like Facebook has) that says the platform owner owns rights to your created content; train the AI on crowdsourced content... Fewer writers and content designers needed. You'd just need a project overseer and maybe an...

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I do get a little upset at clothing designers. For quite a few years, it seems to be the case that many companies no longer make men's jeans that reasonably accommodate testicles. It's an odd design choice.

    GMs: Do you have a "Before" race for your setting?

    Depends upon which one of my home campaigns, but... Sorta... In one of the settings I run, that world's equivalent to elves is the "Before" race, but they are also still around. Part of the setting involves a transition period from a previous mythic (for a lack of better words) to the current...

    D&D 5E (2014) Radically shrinking stat blocks

    If an ally uses a spell or ability to give a bonus to only ranged attacks... For me personally, having it separated out a little bit more is easier to work with in play. I've also found that, when handing index cards to new players, have the different options broken into different lines helps...

    D&D 5E (2014) Radically shrinking stat blocks

    For me, I wouldn't like that way. There are times when a game element modifies a particular type of attack (melee or ranged) or a particular weapon. IMO, being able to more-quickly parse out which numbers change and which numbers don't and being able to do that from a cursory glance is more...
