    D&D 5E (2014) We Would Hate A BG3 Campaign

    I mean, both hard requirements, but one is "Hey, this game has supported this particular option in every edition except 4E, its not considered overpowered, I would like to play it", and the other is "This realm is solid enough that this re-occurring Dungeons and Dragons monster type cannot and...

    D&D 5E (2014) We Would Hate A BG3 Campaign

    Is a cat person all it takes for it to be a game you don't want? Animal people have been in this game since day 1 with the original pig orcs, and gnolls became hyena people, cynocephs (dog-headed people) are more medievally accurate than halflings or orcs even existing, and 'cat person' is a...

    D&D 5E (2014) We Would Hate A BG3 Campaign

    While they do, the thing is, D&D's a social game and that goes the other way as well. A GM who excludes everything the player wants on shakey grounds is going to be a GM who finds themselves without players. There is a push and pull of requirements because, in the end, the story isn't the GM's...

    D&D 5E (2014) We Would Hate A BG3 Campaign

    I mean it'd attract attention but like.... Its D&D. There's far weirder. Dragons can already talk and given the existence of stories, folks absolutely have probably heard some equivilent of "Down on her luck person is friendly to random person coming by, turns out he's a respledent gold dragon...

    D&D 5E (2014) We Would Hate A BG3 Campaign

    Would that really be telling to most people though? I don't think most associate Tabaxi with their 5E storyline specifics or being created by gods, I think its 'I want to be cat person/Hrothgar/Khajiit", that sheer archetype. Like, not just in fantasy, in sci-fi the archetype goes back absolute...

    D&D 5E (2014) We Would Hate A BG3 Campaign

    Oh, people would go worse for the sake of yourself do not look up people's reactions to the Xenomorph Queen in Dead by Daylight Oh, that's just Buer, great president of Hell, fifty legions of demons, capable of healing all injuries and knows a lot about plants Except with lion legs rather...

    D&D 5E (2014) We Would Hate A BG3 Campaign

    action figures remains part of why I rule that Yuan-Ti are snake people. Like in He-man or those Lego Ninjago sets But that's more "I have cracked open all the Lego sets, strewn them about, and am letting you go nuts"

    D&D 5E (2014) DM imposed restrictions to the game (+)

    I play loose 1: Setting specific stuff needs to be generic-ified. I'm fine with Warforged, that's easy. I'm not fine with Dragonmarks or Hybrids given their setting specific-ness. Also not fine with Kender 2: Homebrew needs to be vetted but I'll consider anything 3: One of my first...

    D&D General Grim and Gritty D&D Cartoon

    If I remember right, the author did up all of the followers from BG1 up in the comic's artstyle at one point. The various extras they've done on the book showing how all the different species all look different to each other were also pretty neat

    D&D 5E (2014) We Would Hate A BG3 Campaign

    I'm just finding it funny we're having the discussion about restricted races on a BG3 thread of all things Where people have modded all sorts of crazy stuff into the game. Like, we got Hyur, Roegadyn, Garleans and Elezen from FFXIV. The only restrictions are 3d modelling which, yeah, that's a...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    Until Bobby can't get his yaucht in which case the AI suddenly disappears or finds itself replaced by a dumber model. CEOs will eat anyone below them, but they absolutely have will have a killswitch ready to stop AI hurting them. The thing is, we're talking data anaylsis. We get that very same...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    And then the AI logically declares the shareholders are bad for company stability and they should be removed because its looked at the data and seen one too many cases where shareholders have just throttled a company after making their profits CEOs and shareholders aren't going to give AI power...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    Yes, I also have heard of Roko's Basilisk but find it rather dumb as it really goes hard oon the 'oh the AI will just do this clearly" when I frankly think the main thing that'll happen is the AI being shut down the moment it freely judges efficiency and tries to fire a CEO We have an VR AI...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    Its still depriving actual authors of doing work. AI work is lazy by design, its doing the barest minimum and acting like its something to be proud of. Regardless, we don't even know 'where' this tech will be at any of these times because its developing tech. I don't buy into hypemen speech...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    Because we're not paying an actual author to write something worthwhile. AI is not synonomous with 'high quality work replicating that of a deceased author', its synonomous with 'cheap trash that no one wanted to waste time or so they threw it at a machine, packed up the result, and are...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    Yes. Sure, 50 Shades of Grey is blatent fanfiction where you can downright see the "right its been a week or so, time to throw everyone for a massive curveball" hallmark of fanfiction dot net writing, but someone put work and effort into it. They didn't just put a prompt into something and get...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Let's Read] Dr. Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs

    Completely fair! But, one very relevant video needs to be dropped about a certain someone... Carnotaurus is pretty famous. Showed up in Jurassic World, showed up in Disney's Dinosaur, pretty regular showing But it was the carno's appearance in Prehistoric Planet that won our hearts.

    D&D General Does D&D (and RPGs in general) Need Edition Resets?

    Can't remember which and unfortunately the one website actually listing "This is what all what was playable in 2E" is down, but it was a later one post those books about draconians setting out on their own. May have been early 3E instead?
