Past the core books they do remasters specifically when they're basically out of older versions and need to print new books anyway.

I find a ton of use from big item books - so many flavorful toys. I actually bought the Treasure Vault pdf to get access to the corset knife for PFS.

I am quite curious to see how much revision they will do vs. just refreshing the book with existing errata.

How robust and accessible is high level Adventurer's League stuff?

Guess I better check the FLGs on the way home. :3

It's a freaking huge one. The Tian Xia stuff alone is a big discount, and they even slipped Dark Archive and Travel Guide in there. I had most of the T1 and T2 books already but still got my money's worth.

The industry as a whole will survive even if the US is going to be a money pit, but it will necessarily contract a bit and lose some cultural cachet as game stores struggle to survive as third places and getting a given game becomes harder. US-based companies that heavily rely on little plastic...

For what it's worth they have a forked publishing system where the Lore-heavy books and the mechanics-heavy books are separate. A lot of the lore books have barely any mechanics in them.

Yes. There are people in the industry in this thread. Argument from authority and all that, but if you read security breakdowns instead of marketing hype you'll find the same information.

Setting aside my overall opinions, it would be a handy move if they made one of those Lego games with D&D branding.

LLMs do not function in a way resembling humans. There are some vague apparent similarities to how people without strong language skills will cobble together words they don't understand, but the same techniques can be done using blocks of wood.

We all carry video cameras in our pockets and live in surveillance states.

Meanwhile I'm building a nagaji swashbuckler who will be using Smoke Balls, a Goz Mask, and Bioluminescent Stripes to utterly abuse the nagaji gaze abilities while using swashbuckler's decent stealth to play ultimate peek-a-boo.

Newton functions to a given level. If you go below that level, Newton ceases to work. It's like measuring an apple by number vs. measuring apples by mass - if you're just trying to chuck apples, the number is fine, if you're trying to build an industrial process you need to know more.

YouTube and other online video providers scrape videos they host. To protect art from scraping you have to keep it locked away from the world entirely.

We can already all publish adventures. Whether we can create them is a different matter. Whether am LLM can generate one is an additional matter.

Unfortunately, our civilization is much more focused on novelty than quality. Steady careers increasingly revolve around constantly finding new things to do more than doing one thing very well.

Fair. The specs needed to run locally have proven to be low enough that a gaming PC is more than enough.

A good chunk of audiences enjoy a bit of cringe. The Critical Role animation is certainly full of it, Legends of Avantris has cringe as a foundation, etc.
