And that may be a record for the quickest time to get to a Straw Man.

The comment I made in the other thread: Post in thread 'OAR 10 City State of the Invincible Overlord' D&D (2024) - OAR 10 City State of the Invincible Overlord

I'll probably back it. It is scheduled to launch in about 40 days on Backerkit. (Today is 08MAY25.) If it is being licensed, I imagine most of the money already changed hands to acquire said license. (I don't know that for sure nor do I have any evidence for it.) So, I would like to continue...

Because 1) doing that thought excercise first would allow for better forethought into how something ought to be written so as to avoid potential issues and abuses of the law's intent. Writing a law without thought toward what it will actually do once implemented seems a poor way to govern. and...

To clarify: I'm neither pro nor anti-AI. It's too early (for me) to tell how I should feel about it. But, I am intrigued to explore the ethics of a technology that has had such a big impact in a short amount of time, as well as one which borders upon issues related to transhumanism and what...

Fair enough. I'm curious to see if the copyright and tracking portions of this law are worded in such a way that they set precedent for corporations and large companies to place similar restrictions on humans in the future.

What is deemed to be the difference between an AI learning from previous works versus a human learning to write or draw from studying previous works?

I'll likely get sucked back into Crusader Kings 3 with the new Mongol expansion. Overall, it's been a great year for games. •Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 •Oblivion •new CK3 expansion •Baldur's Gate 3 update that makes me want to start a new game

I understand it is a medium. That was addressed in previous posts.

I can see how someone could take issue with the question. I do not believe that there is an issue inherent in the question which prevents it from being answered. @Ruin Explorer had a good answer by saying that it is too early to tell (and by earlier posts describing some of Daggerheart's...

Sure, but both would still likely be more similar to each other than a Spaghetti Western or a Broadway Play. As the medium grew out of a particular culture with influences to that culture which differ from artforms and media born elsewhere. Likewise, tapdance and pole dancing are two very...

I've heard that before. My own subjective perception is that it still tends toward certain things across the medium. However, as you appear to be more familiar with said medium, do you feel that it would be a medium well suited to Daggerheart? If a book were written based upon the mechanics...

Typically, those two approaches to aesthetic and storytelling tend toward very different assumptions about power, how the world works, which tropes are "normal," etc. Additionally, the contemporary producers of each tend toward different approaches and different target audiences. Certainly, as...

Taking all that in, I think my end result would be to view the game somewhat neutral. •I can and do enjoy 5e, but it's not what I'm looking for when playing a game that is not 5e, so that seems like a negative to me. •I enjoy Edge of the Empire, so that sounds like a positive. •The book...

I find that the videos don't do a good job of answering the questions that I have in a way that tells me much. "The style of D&D" has varied quite a bit over the years. Is there a certain edition (and power level) that is assumed by the game? Are the narrative elements something like Edge of...

What if you combined Beastmaster with Weekend at Bernies? The players all play an animal who was bound to a dead/dying/decrepit old druid. Not wanting to return to the wild, the animals need to puppet the body of their master through a series of adventures and interactions with humans so that...

I don't feel that I know enough about it to have a strong feeling one way or the other. I'm aware that Matt Mercer is a lead designer. I have some general awareness of what tends to be his general style. Beyond that, I honestly can't say that I have much (if any) idea about what style of...

I think that a lot of the balance issues mentioned are unique to a D&D or D&D-like mechanic structure. There are other games which have (what I perceive to be) better mechanics for handling things such as mounts, companions, vehicles, etc. Taking some cues from how other systems work could be...

I'm less concerned with the level of fantasy and more concerned about internal-consistency and in-world plausibility. By default, I lean toward enjoying a grounded-ish experience somewhere on a venn diagram that includes Arthurian Fantasy, Conan, and low-level D&D. However, I can and very much...

Not yet. I've looked at picking up a few of the books for that system (partially for that reason). I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I've been playing for Dungeon Crawl Classics lately. Though, in time, that will likely be a reason to figure it out again. I'd like to do something like...
