I'm allowed to learn to dance by watching Morrus. Why not let an AI learn too? Why can't it look at anything publicly available and learn just ike people do? There are obvious reasons ... but at the core, that argument will be there and in the end will win.

No, that's not what generative AI does. AI detects patterns in random visual noise that resembles what the user requested, then repeats the process.

No, that is what's called free trade. Capitalism is a system where the means of production is controlled by private owners for profit. Capitalism and free trade often go hand in hand, but they are different concepts.

Terminated! :cool: Hasta la vista, baby!

It's easy to see the appeal of AI generated art when we learn that it took an expert artist more than 2 weeks to paint this piece, while an amateur with an AI can generate a picture that's 90% as good in 2 minutes. My heart goes out to the aspiring artists who see their dream job vanish before...

Not buying the 2024 rulebooks...

I'm sure WotC could have hired engineers to code up a decent alternative to D&D Beyond from scratch for far less than 150m dollars. But getting users would be more challenging. A lot of the D&D players who are interested in an online character generator and rules database are already invested...

Hard to say if this claim is true, but if WotC gets accused of using AI art regardless of whether or not they are, they might just decide there's no longer any reason not to use AI art.

Anyway, I doubt we'll see the older edition SRDs in CC anytime soon. The staff left at WotC after the layoffs probably have more important things to work on than preparing documents that aren't going to earn any money and only a small number of people even care about.

It wouldn't surprise me if preparing the pre-5E SRDs for CC was de-prioritized by WotC management soon after the promise was made, and they have no plans of picking it up again.

The LEGO group is becoming increasingly dominant in in the global toy market, squeezing out rivals like Hasbro and Mattel.

Merry Christmas...

Are there any magical focuses that require you to cast a spell with them to work? All the ones I remember only require the caster to be holding the item to receive the benefits.

The main appeal of 5th ed right now is that you'll get a brand new edition in 6 months! How's that for rapid improvement?!

While appearing at a liquidator doesn't mean that a product was a failure, I have a hunch that in this case it does. There never seemed to be any enthusiasm for these products anywhere I usually see people talk about D&D stuff.

Depends what that childhood is like. Children being toddlers for 20 years would probably kill anyone's desire to become parents, but if means carefree adolescense for 90 years betwen the ages of 10 and 100 then it can make sense. Maybe they were dabbling a bit here and a bit there and a bit...

That was my experience with the older Shadowrun editions too. As characters become stronger their ability to do damage increases much faster than their ability to resist damage, so "high level" combat is just about being the one to shoot first.

I'm not interested in this product in the slightest!

Regarding this, if I was using minions in 5e, I'd definitely adapt the 4e rule that minions never take damage on a miss to minions taking 0 damage on a successful save that would normally be half damage.
