Love the fortune's wheel cover. This is what art made with care and personality looks like

Or...

Mothership?

correct, the same artist who used AI for the frost giants and wolves

I don't think wotc was being intentional with this; for their part it speaks to their poor editorial oversight, which shows up in other ways too

It depends on how the law proceeds. I think a corporation will still want to be able to copyright their art

In the future, all edition wars will be fought by robots

At this point, I feel like I'm just arguing with AI. Except AI would probably be better at creating a semblance of critical thinking skills

I suppose if you are uninterested or unaware of the ethical problems associated with AI art, then you could see this as a "witch hunt." Certainly plenty of people on these boards have been uninterested in racist caricature in the art of previous products, or the fact that wotc tried to put half...

I wonder...do people back kickstarters just to resell the product as soon as it comes out?

It's hard to take into account the variety of gameplay while also seeing if there are any historical trends--change over time--in that gameplay in general. There's certainly a trend toward a sort of fundamentalism as to the the way things supposedly were back in the day. I see this in...

OSR principles are definitely a reconstruction of a particular style of play, with elements of outright invention. It's clear that people played all sorts of different ways even from the very beginning. Even Gygax and Arneson seemed to have very different games. Even within the OSR, the bulk...

AI was definitely controversial from the time people heard of it, including a year ago. Here's a tweet from August 2022 about an art competition won by AI art (criticizing the artist and competition). The issue that comes up with WOTC is that they say one thing but then time and again they...

It's not an easy read, but the openness of the 'classes' make it easier to create whatever you want within its framework. At minimum you could steal the basic roll under mechanic and the way that groups work. Also the author is up to a 4th edition, available as pdf

This sounds perfect for Whitehack. Whitehack even has an option for your character to have a ghost form
