Try asking DeepSeek r1 (671b) to make a D&D 5e encounter (you can add more specifics), the results will probably be interesting. But the real gem for new DMs is in the 'thinking' process, that is absolute gold. Not only do they have decent output (probably better then they could make at that...

What part of "I don't know" did you not understand? I don't know you either, you certainly don't know me (as is evident by what you said about slides and Q-learning). I don't know if it's possible or not, I don't know you so I don't trust your word on the matter either. For all I know you could...

I don't know, but I do believe that it's similar to the Jetson's flying cars or the robot help in the house. While there are technically flying cars (people have build them) and humanoid robots, it's not a practical implementation (yet?) and certainly not everyone had them a few decades ago like...

How have the recent D&D novels fared (quality wise)? I haven't touched a D&D novel in years.

Drifts in the Astral for an unknown amount time before being picked up by an Astral ship full of freebooters, where he joins the crew. DM to the player: Next session you're now the DM! ;)

Writing the read aloud texts for hundreds of dungeon rooms isn't exactly what I would call the 'cool creative stuff'... People need to realize what they like to do isn't what other people like to do. I just moved and got a huge garden that needs to be kept up. There are people that love their...

The article you link to is about Meta, not Google. But that's something entirely different imho from what others are talking about. The disclosed quotes are from a researcher and an email to legal. But not the reply back from legal... I'm curious what will come from this. If this will be put on...

That's because it isn't the same thing. And the law doesn't react quickly to new things. Of course the power/money come into the picture when the law tries to figure it out. I've seen something similar happen in the last ~35 years when computer became common and powerful enough to rip music...

For B/W the paper is a larger part of the price, for color it tends to be the toner. So if paper prices spike, the product it's the biggest part of will also rise the highest. But it could also be other things combined that get folded into this 'convenient' price rise. Printing might have...

That is a sword-garrote! Also great at slicing cheese... ;)

Let's not forget the printers themselves. They are not only paying off the current investment in printers, but also need to prepare for the replacement printers eventually. Depends on the US company, many are or have been very US centric and pretty much first import into the US and then ship to...

More original then whom? Which human? D&D is pillaged from fiction without much work put into it, at least Tolkien pillaged, but put a lot of work into it. And compared to which human? A good DM? A good writer? How good? If we were to grade the D&D novels, not many would rise above dime store...

An 18 year old might 'plan' for retirement, but that's not a detailed plan for the next ~50 years. To many unknowns for a detailed plan over that much time. Maybe a very long lived individual with high intelligence and a LOT of resources (information) can make detailed plans for a 100 years...

@DEFCON 1 We already had the 4e FR campaign guide for the 100 year leap, 5e book would update another ~15 year after that. But regarding a 100 year leap... Sure things happened... But were they that earth shattering? Let's take 1900 to 2000: Two world wars, cold war, atomics, flight, automobile...

Writer of the article didn't know this bit of lore 15min before writing the article... Must be a slow news day... OP misrepresents the article as some of stance by Wargamer... What else is new... PDK is a 1000+ year old organization, things change in that time. The Lego company started with...

I use r1 671b for writing read aloud texts from simple room descriptions (without asking for DM notes!). Example: I then run the read aloud text through ElevenLabs (Callum v1) to generate a sound file that reads this aloud for the players. Next step would be to run the same read aloud text...

A LOT of the TSR stuff was done and OCRed 20-30 years ago by a company working for WotC (Jim Butler ran that, might even have been Bastion Press), what was missing has been done since. We had the Dragon Archive. Probably all the novels in epub format. The big issues were the 3e/4e books, but...

All the RPG books and novels for D&D have been available on the internet. Anything scanned got OCRed. The question of course is, was ChatGPT version x trained on that? But what about all the AI/LLM models? And even IF none were trained on that particular information, I expect that someone else...

An eclipse is just an object that obscures the sun, it could be a moon. The question would then be, which moon? One of the existing moons? Is this how the Death Star shows up in your campaign or does some new populated (by what) moon show up. On the other hand, it could also be an asteroid or...

They stopped doing that because so many of their employees turned Chaotic Neutral and the results is TONS of randomly killed project in the Google project graveyard... That is not true. You can run AI/LLM perfectly on device, so you can just sell software that people can run locally, like we've...
