that worked so well for Ouathbreakers and Death Domain...oh wait, everyone were using them as PCs.

It is different because even if the player created something like familiar or god or a patron, I was stil lthe one controlling them and integrating them into the world to ensure they fit and were coherent with the world I was presenting. I am not allowed to interact with the Bastion NPCs...

Corporations do not care about any of that, good things die on corproate watch all the time. All corporations care for is money.

And with that you proved you have nothing actually meaningfull to say.

That movie WAS a flop, to be fair.

Trying to ridicule my argument with absurd comparisons is a good way for me to stop taking you seriously.

Maybe if D&D was a game that incorproated this kind of collaborative storytelling in every aspect of the game, like Fabula Ultima or Fellowship, it owuldn't be so jarring. But it didn't. So it feels tacked on and awkward.

Which is not something supported by the rules and thus non-applicable. Even with sidekicks, while players control their actions in combat I roleplay them, I dictate their personalities, I decide how they react to player actions. by these new rules I am forbidden from doign that with hirelings...

Or it's a marketing move to make people buy a book to make quick buck while AI dms are long-term goal

Say your argument without resorting to stupid buzzwords.

Then they are video game minions for PCs to control, which breaks the immersion of being characters in a living-breating world. Your character is a person you roleplay, bastion characters hsould be NPCs and help maintian the illusion of playing in a world populated by people.

I hate how immersion-breaking it is too. All the work to make living world and maintain the illusion of interacting with real characters shattered because there is now a video game bastion, with video game mechanics and video game hirelings who don't have personality and operate entierly by...

Except it breaks the assumption PCs control their character and DM controls the world. And it seems written to remove any possibility of roleplay opportunitties and replace them with mechanics. It breaks my heart that developers' response to accussation D&D is not a real role playing game but a...

When no other mechanics support this level of handing off the reins to players, it feels tacked on and serving to disempower the DM and not expand player options. And considering biggest complaint in 5e was already how DM is powerless to challenge the players in any way, taking power away from...

It seems WotC thinks every single temple or chapter in the world must be set up by a Cleric and only Cleric.

too bad the new rules do not value collaboration but literally forbid it and roleplay to reduce things to cheap mechanical powerups. They literally wrote the fun out of the game.

And I'm running d&d for four years and have been watching a lot of fandom and for majority of players the patron as an active NPC is THE reason to play a Warlock. If you already play it as just bunch of worthless powerups with nothing to interact with the world, I can see why you're not seeing a...

And by the new DMG this is wrong, you are supposed to do it the way it says to do it or you're not playing d&d correctly.

Just like the new npc interaction system, it's supposed to relegate things that were once handled by the DM into an area of strictly defined rules of what can or cannot be allowed and under which circumstances, which will be easier for algorithm to handle. DM is not allowed anylonger to actually...

Hasbro ceo made it clear they want to implement ai, the ai dms was promised (more like threatened) to be implemente on dndbeyond and wotc said they hate the fact majority of their buyers are dms and not regular players. Writing is on the wall here.
