    Embracing AI in TTRPGs - Enhancing, Not Replacing, Creativity

    Lets see how ChatGPT it does with one of your other problems. Okay I think there are a number of map artists that could have drawn that, so now we are really getting into ethically questionable areas. But it's not like I (as an individual DM) would have paid an artist to do this in the past, I...

    Embracing AI in TTRPGs - Enhancing, Not Replacing, Creativity

    Out of curiosity I threw a couple of your questions into ChatGPT. Summarize the history of the city of Waterdeep and "Give me a list of the named wizards from the city of Thay, from Dungeons and Dragons" Problem is being produced by AI I've no way of knowing what is accurate, that it has...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    I'm sorry you find it inflammatory, but I'm not sure what other words to use, perhaps "cater for" rather than "pamper" would have sounded nicer? But pamper is more accurate as it has been done to provide a comfort rather than meet a need, people had been playing for decades without the need for...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    The problem is rules design not based on at least some level of realism, it lacks verisimilitude and that makes it feel more like a game an less like a believable world your character is inhabiting. Like the strongest Halflings being as strong as strongest Goliath or poisons damaging...

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer Is A New UK Magazine To Teach D&D

    Considering the initial posts advertising has about 20+ full 3D plastic minis in the first four issues, that is a bit of a disappointment in comparison.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    Fantasy Grounds Unity I assume is the modern usage.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    Walking Dead Starter set, and screen, and extra normal dice after playing it at a convention recently. I really like how the stress mechanics added to the threat, and also made any horde more dangerous. Picked up the Dreams and Machines starter set for £15 at the same convention.

    Space: 1999 Coming From Modiphius

    The fact the shop is called Gerry Anderson implies they might have more licenses coming along with Space:1999. To be honest Space:1999 has a lot nostalgia for me so I might pick it up, but there are other Gerry Anderson I would prefer.

    Space: 1999 Coming From Modiphius

    This is an odd license to get, it strikes me it will have very limited appeal.

    D&D 5E (2024) 3,000 Player's Handbooks Available At Gen Con

    Approximately 70,000 individuals attended in 2023. Not even enough for 1 in 10 of the people going, still I guess a lot of families go, so they won't all need a copy and then there will be people not interested, but I suspect they will disappear very quickly. At least they restrict people to one...

    Do any other old school gamers hate the term grognard?

    I think it is both. When used in jest or by the person themselves it is often just a description of a old gamer who might be a little grumpy, when used spitefully it is a description of someone who is unwilling to change, and stuck in that past.
