Most starter sets do not give you the full game, no. For example, both the Eldritch Horror RPG and Call of Cthulhu starter sets use simplified rules. As do all the previous D&D sets. $50 seems like good value for what is in the box, and getting the digital version for five bucks more is...

The main reason it’s not a new edition is that the game now runs through DDB first and foremost.

For the latter, is your DM not aware that they can just share their own books with players in the campaign and not require them to purchase additional copies? That’s one of the best perks of DDB!

I’ll wait to see some actual evidence one way or another before venturing an opinion.

It was kind of inevitable that 2024 would have the largest sales on release given how much the player base has grown over the course of 5e. But those comments, aside from the specific DDB numbers, are just PR spin anyway.

Oof, that leaked review is pretty rough. It basically sums the film up as overstuffed and superficial eye candy. Lets hope it’s an outlier.

I think this one post just changed my life in a meaningful way. I’m not even joking.

See, if they’d cast her as Bond she’d be top of my list! Magnificent actor!

Except it’s not clear that it is. Thus the discussion. There are so many variables and missing information. So folks are wondering what to make of it. Sans more context, all I feel comfortable saying is that there are some numbers.

Yes, and also it was being made by actual human beings. This is apples and oranges.

I always feel like folks who vote Lazenby are just taking the p*ss.

Not so sure about that, though.

An anecdote: the International Baccalaureate diploma is very rigorous - it is basically modeled on British A-levels, and students earn univeristy transfer credit if they earn high enough marks in a subject. Although some of the assessment is done internally, all of it is moderated by IB, and...

So, this is hyperbolic yet also gets at the heart of the roles we use for AI. Because it really does raise the question "what is the point of you?" in a lot of situations. I have unfortunately become something of an expert in this as an IB Diploma teacher. Cheating using AI is a huge and...

I also wonder if becoming much less visibly associated with Critical Role has impacted DDB usage. I specifically started using it because of CR.

Hmmm...that makes it a bit more useful, but I don't think it tells us much in isolation. I would like to see paid subscriptions year over year, as well as the distribution between app users and online users (for example, when we play I am the only person not using the app). My vibe amongst the...

I'm a bit embarrassed by how heavily I rely on various Google tools (Meet, Docs, Sheets, NotebookLM), but we use it so much for work (teacher; Google Classroom is foundational) that it is just automatic and simple/lazy for me, even though some of these bespoke tools are probably much better. So...

Could you unpack some of that in more detail? 1. Where do you find this number? 2. What is the difference between "forum statistics" and "site statistics"? At the moment, I am having trouble understanding what this graph is suggesting. I need more context. For instance, if it's measuring forum...

But did the court reach the wrong conclusion?

No, that's definitely a comment on current US politics. Not that I disagree.
