Yeah, I think machine learning and artificial intelligence (whatever the difference is, if any) have already infiltrated or lives so much that we use it several times a day without even knowing it. I'm not sure it's a bad thing, or a good thing. It's a thing.

Google search just identified the song was listening to on the radio. I imagine this application must have been trained on a vast set of music, or maybe it keeps a vast database of music and compares what it heard. Is it problematic if, hypothetically, Google didn't get permission from the...

Well GPT4 is coming out next year, and it is supposed to blow our minds. I didn't know this was already being used in Canva. I think all of this speaks to how predictable we are generally as humans. And perhaps says something about the illusion of free will.

"creat a set of 3 tables with 1d10 features each and roll." I don't think that prompt is going to work, Reynard; we might need more detail and specificity.

GPT3 Prompt: Describe four human zombies for a dungeons and dragons game, each in ten words or less. It keeps trying to be more creative that what I it to be. But, I think I finally found the right question. GPT3 Prompt: Describe the physical appearance of four human zombies for a dungeons...

Yeah, it looks like the first prompt gave us types of zombies, whereas the second gave us individual zombies (with style). What I really wanted was some short descriptions of four zombies so my players and I can keep track of them in combat. What could we do to achieve that goal?

Prompt for GPT3: describe a four different zombies for a dungeons and dragons game These aren't bad, but if we change "different" to "idiosyncratic we get... Prompt for GPT3: describe a four idosyncratic zombies for a dungeons and dragons game Interesting.

What is the state of space-based solar? Is it a complete pipe dream? Not a good idea? I apologize ahead of time for my ignorance (I don't even know how i stumbled upon this thread).

What a cool idea! I would let the vampire hide among the bats, but once it attacked or attempted to charm I would reveal it. Later it can try and hide among the swarms. I would probably not give damage to the vampire that was meant for the swarm unless it were an area of effect and vice versa...

No, I can build 5e encounters as a DM just fine and sometimes they are even fun, but sometimes they do not work how I want them to work.

I plan to buy Dragonlance.

To be clear a mix-and-match-three-classes-of-features system would be an option for grizzled veterans, and novices would be discouraged from using it. I like the idea of a hierarchy of systems with maybe half a dozen classes for new players, an optional mix and match system for people who want...

Yes and no. When I say "a few" I mean 3 (warriors, mages, and experts). And when I say subclasses I mean classes. I may be interested in a system where warrior, mage, and expert are three different classes of features that can be mixed and matched instead of picking a class and/or subclass. In...

I think I would like to see a few broad classes with many focused subclasses. I think I would also like it if choosing a subclass were optional.

Yes! Van Richten's guide is a good model for this in my opinion. Then I could tell my players I'm running a Conan-esque adventure, check page 125 of the Dungeon Master's Guide to see what that entails.

I think 5th Edition actively supports Theatre of the Mind with careful wording of the rules that avoids interfering with gridded play. I found the approach to be successful and I hope they continue in the future.

I use theatre of the mind at my table (not exclusively) and I am very happy with the way 5th Edition has handled wording the rules in order to support both gridded play and theatre of the mind. I hope they continue with this in the future.

In previous editions (1st, 3rd, pathfinder, 4th) the animals disappear after 5 or 10 minutes, and you can only have one out at a time. Oh well, I'll report back on how it goes.

Thank you all for the feedback. It's nice to see things from other points of view. Helps me to see myself. Also, I think the dawn duration of the animals' existence must have been later errata, because the first printing of the Dungeon Master's Guide doesn't seem to have it.

Thanks Jgsugden!
