    Shouldn’t Player goals be THE agenda?

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I think it’s very clear when used that way it refers to people who prefer the one creative agenda over the other. I guess I could see come confusion if one didn’t understand simulationist and narrativist is primarily meant to refer to play instead of people and maybe there’s been some of that...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    1) There’s no common language to share play experiences in, nor 2) have I ever seen any shared play experiences of any style really capture much more than the narrative of what happened in the fiction.

    Much much better than before. My energy levels are higher. Though a bit lower than they were a month into the diet and exercise change.

    Our Physical Fitness

    Current update I’m now at 187 lbs. Though, the last week or 2 I’m definitely seeing much slower progress. Just as a reminder, started at 240 back near the start of February.

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    The internet tells me to do dumb crap all the time. Is it defective? Should we just pull it as well?

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    But that’s just it. You’re not providing evidence it’s obviously defective.

    Is AI intended to give fool proof advice?

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    The pharmaceutical company makes far different types of claims about the drug than the ai company is making about the ai. My guess is that Ai's built/trained specifically for a limited domain don't typically do such things. There's also the question of inferring user intent. Sometimes users...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Well so far we've established for certain that D&D players handle conflicts across moral lines. I'm fairly certain d&d players/characters typically encounter rising action. There's a bit of an open question about what the phrase 'rising action across a moral line' actually entails. I think my...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    This example (2nd example) sounds very much like something that could occur in one of my d&d games. It’s a great illustration of what conflict across a moral line is, which is what the example was an answer to. Though I’m not really seeing any rising conflict here. There’s certainly...

    Why shouldn’t the moral and tactical collide though? Like fade to black torture of an enemy is a tactical choice, but it’s also a moral choice.

    I often find in d&d the expedient choice conflicts with the moral choice. In that sense d&d often features a ton of choices across moral lines.

    D&D 5E (2024) Can A Spell Caster Out Damage a Martial Consistently?

    Yes. Initiative is huge. My claim that the Fighters probably still win without initiative wasn’t diminishing the general importance of initiative. It was noting just how far in the lead they were in this scenario.

    D&D 5E (2024) Can A Spell Caster Out Damage a Martial Consistently?

    I don’t see how any of that significantly helps.

    D&D 5E (2024) Can A Spell Caster Out Damage a Martial Consistently?

    Rush Distance? My understanding was that all the champions were Bow users. What wall spell are you proposing the caster uses?

    D&D 5E (2024) Can A Spell Caster Out Damage a Martial Consistently?

    Yea. If the casters had some decent defensive items and the martials didn’t have too OP of weapons that may also have changed things.
