I don't think it's going to happen either, so what are the options left for those of us who love 5E? One way is for a community to "take ownership" of 5E in the same was the OSR took ownership of B/W.

Ben Riggs, a D&D historian, caused quite a stir this week when he pronounced The Golden Age of TTRPGs is Dead. Riggs describes the 2010s as a booming period for tabletop role-playing games, marked by a massive influx of new players and innovative game design, primarily fueled by the success of...

I'll admit that I find this technology fascinating. For the sake of the exercise, I've been playing around with the first five rooms of Gygax's original Castle Greyhawk (level 1). Using Tsojcanth as a template, and with a bit of massaging, the AI produced the following: Castle Greyhawk: Level 1...

If anyone wants to try a prompt to turn the key into some rooms, here is the raw key data: Design Key: Castle Greyhawk, Level 1 1,-,Kobolds,9-16,5,63,-,"Dust colored silver mirror, 750 gp" 2,-,Goblins,7-12,8,71,-,10 gp 3,-,Giant Rats,3-12,5,38,-,Potion of strength 4,-,"Bandits, warrior...

More than an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk, I'd be interested in an "Ask Gary" bot trained on all the various Q&A material and interviews on the internet. I think it would be fun to interact with, and would offer the occasional insight. If nothing else, it would be a much easier way to search...

I truly enjoy bringing the Dragon Magazine retrospectives to this community each month. The comments are so much fun! And it's a regular reminder of how much innovation happened back in the day.

Excellent, excellent book!

So far, I think seven folks have been confirmed as laid off from the D&D Studio team. The below image was taken from The Book of Many Things, the most recent release:

Some folks have asked whether the MCDM system will have dungeons or not. I'm sure it will - it is such a strong fantasy trope that I can't see how they ignore it. But Coleville has said the system is not about exploration or attrition, but rather about big heroic fights. So I suspect the...

Dragon Publishing released Dragon #73 in May 1983. It is 100 pages long and has a cover price of $3.00. In this issue, we have half-ogres, non-violent magic items, and the inner planes! This month's Special Attraction is an AD&D adventure called "Forest of Doom," which was written by Scott...

A friend speculated that this image from WOTC might have had an AI base. Pure speculation and no accusations are being made toward anyone. Anyway, I'm curious to see if anyone can reproduce something similar. Please tag me and include your prompt if you give it a go.
