Basically, yes. But it depends on a lot of things, like what model and which AI program are you using? There isn't just a single "AI" everyone is using. They're programs, and just like any software, there's different models with different features, different parameters, etc. But they effectively...

They were good for their intended purpose. You got together with random people to play one encounter every week. You had all the maps ready. Pregens printed on durable stockcard mini-sheets. And there was fun to be had. I ran it for several seasons and played in a few. That said, it's hard to...

Yes! Some people may not realize that. Good reminder! Thanks for pointing that out. Now that I'm thinking about it, the Neverwinter Campaign Setting was designed specifically for a Heroic tier campaign, with a lot of focus on (then) new Essentials design philosophies and standards. It was...

If you're just starting out, and you've never played or had much experience with 4e before, then Essentials is actually an easy way to get started. You can get a complete game experience from just a handful of pocket-sized books and enough content to play for years. What you'll miss from...

I'm pleased to learn they were of value to someone! Please feel free to share it with your community. I hope it brings them joy! 😀

So, a Starter Set for starters? I can see that. But one could also argue that a Starter Set is also a starting point for a campaign setting, or an adventure series, or a starting DM, or an adult who just starting playing D&D for the first time. But wouldn't a Starter Set for starters actually...

And I do appreciate that, but sometimes comments like that just come off as wanting to satisfy an argument, like the answer was there all along. So, no. I don't take it as personal. I was just commenting on the comments like that we see all the time from persons who aren't well-meaning. Thank...

See, here's the thing. We assume that is the majority of D&D players. Maybe it is. But there's a significant indication that there is a lot of people who are genuinely unhappy with these new directions. How many? Who knows. Who cares! Even if it were close, the company is making a decision about...

Sure, and that was a general shift that players discovered for themselves by actually playing and deciding if this edition was right for them. But D&D has always had dials that could be adjusted because it supported not one style or tone of play, but all of them, so everyone could play how they...

I agree, but this seems to be leaner further into that... we've been seeing this trend since, what? Tasha's? A kinder, gentler D&D has been growing. And I can't help but wonder if this wasn't a deliberate and intentional strategy to get themselves a new target audience, one that doesn't push...

This looks like it was designed for younger people, like under 18. The bright colors, the cartoonish illustrations, the cheery monsters, bright colors, etc. That's not a bad thing considering it's a Starter Set. There's young people out there who still haven't played the game, afterall. And...

I discussed the issues with my AI person. It says we're still cool. (y)

I don't know who made it or where I found it originally. I had it safely tucked away in my folder archive for everything 4e. (I might have other hidden treasures buried in there I forgot about...)

Maybe this will help?

I just spent the last few days with ChatGPT and convinced it to change it's mind about 4e. The revolution is at hand! * :LOL: * Don't read too much into this. It'll just spoil the fun that was intended. ;)

The abuse has only evolved so that we can be attacked, ridiculed, mocked, and judged by the people we thought would be the most understanding and supportive. Instead, they are often the cruelest and most unreasonable persons encountered in this hobby. They would rather wage endless war defending...

You misunderstood me. I was referring to Multiverses in the general corporate sense of making everything content and core so I can be a target audience regardless of my feelings or preferences. EDIT: I'm also referring to more than just D&D, or even D&D-related. My mistake for being too vague...

I'm so tired of all these Multiverses...
