Disney called, they want their Storm back... It's great art, but it feels like it's from a MtG card instead of a D&D book. Imho I don't like the art style for D&D... #GetYourMtGoutOfMyDnD ;)

Just because you have the money and a studio, doesn't mean you can do it 'right'. And another studio needs to 'learn' BG3 from the ground up to do DLC for it. Also unless this was contracted already at the start of development, Larian's CEO current 'opinion' on WotC/Hasbro doesn't give me the...

While funny, I can understand the appeal of an AI DM. Sometimes you just want to play D&D and no one wants to DM. I see that as playing Heroquest vs playing Gloomhaven, the first requires an DM and the second doesn't. Gloomhaven is a great game to play DMless. I just wonder if a pnp RPG is the...

It is an issue as you try to create consistency in your setting/story. You create a semi-believable illusion, the moment the illusion is constantly not believable or when you start assuming everything is an illusion, things go wrong. Oh, me too. But then you solve the issue by making it true...

That is kind of hilarious, as I remember that era being one of the brightest in miniatures ever! The White Dwarf photo spreads of battles between Orks and Blood Angels still hurt my eyes... ;)

Yeah, I suddenly remember using a small hand axe during scouts in the wrong way and it bounced back from the small tree almost in my face. I suddenly imagine a double sided axe blade bouncing back into my face... Ugh! Same thing with a war hammer looking like a big Thor's hammer instead of the...

Remember what they did with Neverwinter Nights? NWNX gave you the ability to make a NWN mmo/persistent server. No one imagined that one, until some one actually made it. Isn't this just a case of Frontier being Frontier? The made Elite Dangerous, but the expansion was a complete disaster. Many...

Recently I had a discussion with some people about the Ubisoft NPC AI. My issue is the inherent way LLMs work, the predict how a sentence should look like without really understanding what it says. It's designed to give a believable answer with the information it has or make up a believable...

I... I... I am offended! You just don't have any taste! ;) I suspect there's a golden mean between what you dislike about DOS and what you like in BG3, the problem is of course it could wind up pissing off everyone. But that is the risk they'll have to take imho. But even at DOS2 levels of...

This Lego set is about 1/3rd of my rent. It's of course not a single dinner and a movie, but this is also not a single evening build. If you pace yourself, this is probably a full week of evenings building this. And unlike a dinner and a movie, you still have something of value after you're...

Maybe they just want to cash in on the BG3's success with their own IP. Speculation: WotC/Hasbro might have set unreasonable demands on Larian for additional DLC/BG4 with the success of BG3. Or Larian just sees WotC/Hasbro as an undependable business partner that will willy nilly kill projects...

Less posting and more worky-worky! ;) Lego certainly isn't cheap, especially not the big sets. But also keep in mind that building something this big is quite a few Friday nights and what does a Friday night dinner and movie cost? How quickly do you get to that $350? It of course needs to be...

When I look at SFG, there might be plastic minis in the starter set... Or SFG just has a good distribution setup for North America and Europe.

I'm a 47 year old IT consultant, neck deep in security... I can totally manage messing around with a router/firewall, but I also know the risks of that. And why bother when you don't have to?

We use Foundry VTT for our D&D5e sessions, with Discord for video/audio. We were playing occasionally, every couple of months, so paying a monthly fee wasn't something high on my priority list. One of our players primary machine was an iPad Pro, so anything that requires installation went out...

Larian was created when WotC didn't own D&D yet. What I've understood from the Larian folks is that they've been D&D fans for a long while, but they never had the money/size for a D&D license/game. Until after the success of their Divinity Original Sin game (and WotC/Hasbro went a little more...

But didn't in the 90s supply the booktrade and they got everything back without cover?

Traps are for killing players. Wait... They aren't? ;)

I'm curious how the language situation is for Portuguese. I'm Dutch (Netherlands/Holland), we're a tiny country and I think we only had a Dutch version of the D&D Red Box (Basic D&D) 35+ years ago. In that same Era we also had a Dutch translation of Das Swartze Auge (The Dark Eye) and things...

Our group has been playing on and off of 35+ years and D&D is our 'safe space', our 'feel good place'. Sure, we've had very fun excursions to Shadowrun, Vampire, etc. But not everyone is equally comfortable in those settings/games as everyone else. We keep coming back to D&D. No issue with that...
