    Will AI replace Dungeon Masters?

    Depends on how you define LLM memory. You either train on it, use RAG, or use the existing context window. Most of the mainstream LLMs offer context windows around the 128k token size, which should fit about a novel. One of Google's LLMs offerts a million tokens worth of context window (~7.5...

    Will AI replace Dungeon Masters?

    They already have been.

    That's misrepresented! It's a plane, not a sphere! Proper viewing angle:

    RPG Evolution: Clear Gaming Paper Tiles

    The advantages of this over clear acrylic/plexi is that this stuff is strong and scratch resistant, really useful for puzzle tiles! The other advantage is that it's portable and can store easily, I suspect that it fits in most backpacks you use to lug your RPG books around in. With four tiles...

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    I mean the project needed 10-20 years to reach a level where it would be mature for revenue generation. Not from start to the core product is out. That should have been released when it was actual ready. In a big enterprise/multinational environment that could easily take half a year... Smaller...

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    @Clint_L Maybe because some sound like they do... ;) But seriously. WotC isn't a bookseller, it's an IP holder. The licensing for BG3 seemed to fall under WotC earnings, so why not the rest? Revenue between licensing and 'bookselling', might not seem like a lot, but what are the profits of...

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    @tetrasodium @Chaltab There are people that play doom on their refrigerator display... That ain't normal, it's possible, just not normal. :alien: A display for just images (maps) is different from having a full character sheet that needs to be readable on half a screen, there's a reason why...

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    Yes, many phones are way more powerful then a 15 year old console at this point. But you need to realize that the Xbox 360 ran at ~720p, sometimes much lower, sometimes a little higher. These days that's not workable for a VTT that's often played on 1080p at a minimum. Something like a Steam...

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    Do your parents look at you the same way when you start something, but ultimately fail at it? Things are learned through failure, some people need to fail a LOT before they learn anything... With your attitude there would be no D&D, WotC, and no DDB to improve. WotC/Hasbro spend a LOT of money...

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    This happens when your models are trained on copious amounts of pr0n, if you don't specify, it will default to non-male balloons... ;)

    Has Wizards of the Coast Given Up on Sigil?

    Maybe because the folks that run Talespire didn't want to sell? Normally when you sell a company, they tend to want to keep you around to run it for at least a couple of years, but if there's a good chance that you're fired next Christmas or the year after that... Then they better be paying...

    Project Sigil 90% Of D&D’s Project Sigil Team Laid Off

    Well that wasn't entirely unexpected, just so much sooner then I thought... Ehh... Talespire looks great and all (I also own it), but what are you basing this off? After almost 4 years in Early Access, they have ~3,800 reviews, something like Tabletop Simulator has almost 42,000 reviews after...

    Score +2 For Million Dollar Crowdfunders!

    $1 million was a LOT more money in 2016 then it's now. Inflation caused it to be worth around 25% less. So two of those $1+ million campaigns this year would never have hit the million mark in 2016. Such US focused KS also have 70%+ of their backers from the US, even when something is English...

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Is Talking About AI in D&D Again

    Let's say some random new DM comes here and asks for advice, we'll have a dozen different people answering with 13 different pieces of advice. When 12 people advice you watch 13 different YouTube channels, each with a 100 hours of video, do you watch them all or choose one, which one do you...

    GM fiat - an illustration

    This read like D&D (bad) vs. Torchbearer (good) argument. Every pnp RPG that requires a DM is based on DM-fiat, if it doesn't then it doesn't require a DM at all and the DM should be playing as a player. For a DM it starts with basic things like what kind of adventure are we playing, even if...

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Is Talking About AI in D&D Again

    So you have a new DM and your advise is to start watching 100+ hours of YouTube videos of random YouTuber X? Or one of many books on DMing, assuming the new player chooses the 'right' book. Asking for advise online means that the new DM already has landed in the right community and if I look at...

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Is Talking About AI in D&D Again

    Try asking DeepSeek r1 (671b) to make a D&D 5e encounter (you can add more specifics), the results will probably be interesting. But the real gem for new DMs is in the 'thinking' process, that is absolute gold. Not only do they have decent output (probably better then they could make at that...

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Is Talking About AI in D&D Again

    What part of "I don't know" did you not understand? I don't know you either, you certainly don't know me (as is evident by what you said about slides and Q-learning). I don't know if it's possible or not, I don't know you so I don't trust your word on the matter either. For all I know you could...

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Is Talking About AI in D&D Again

    I don't know, but I do believe that it's similar to the Jetson's flying cars or the robot help in the house. While there are technically flying cars (people have build them) and humanoid robots, it's not a practical implementation (yet?) and certainly not everyone had them a few decades ago like...
