It's worse really than that. They are not even harassing the wait staff. They don't even contact the restaurant or wait staff beyond maybe a yearly survey or something. Instead they choose to harass the customers every day about liking what the restaurant sells, and loudly declaring that they...

I don't know what happened with the quote function. It's an exact quote but looks like it's attributable to someone else, though embedded in a quote with your name, which is weird. Sorry about that

I don't recall them mentioning microtransactions in that at all. I recall people jumping to that conclusion. My memory is not infallible though.

The relevant quote from you was, "they are making it a bad mount subclass. If you want to make a mount subclass, use the cavalier." I am saying it is a great mount subclass. What misquote? This is incorrect. "Otherwise, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to resurrect the dragon; this ceremony...

It's a GREAT mount class. If that's your issue with it, I recommend this video. I think it's would be an exceptionally powerful mount subclass.

Claims that the Purple Dragon Knight was an important part of the Forgotten Realms setting ring false to me. Yes, I am saying as a fan of FR that it is in fact pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things and I think you claiming your view represents "those of us who are really into...

Nevermind...

I disagree it's all OCRed. Having seen some scans of TSR stuff, most of it is pretty sketchy looking and not easily read by AI, particularly for training purposes not something they'd scan. In addition, if your concern about AI is unethically taking authors properties without permission and...

Had to look this up, "Walter Benjamin predicted that the technical reproduction of art would lead to a breaking of art’s spell (‘Entzauberung’). Art became less obscure, more accessible and thus less magical because of technical reproduction. … "

Hasbro's previously stated ponderings are that the database used for their AI will include just the stuff WOTC owns for D&D. ChatGPT won't have all that in their database. Indeed, much of it has never been issued in digital text it could access. That's what WOTC can offer that ChatGPT...

I think it will have some. It likely will offer digital miniatures, maybe digital dice, maybe digital terrain, I don't know. But I don't think that will be a primary method they focus on for revenue. I think it will be subscriptions they go for, as re-occurring revenue will be better for their...

If a claim has no support, it probably shouldn't be made in a confident tone like it's common knowledge. That's what I was responding to and you jumped into with these gadfly responses.

The claim was made, so I responded to it. If you have evidence they are planning to push lots of microtransactions, let's see it.

WOTC has yet to advocate for microtransactions. If you disagree, show me a quote.

Yeah the spells states outright it's not invisible, "The dome is opaque from the outside, of any color you choose" which is how creatures so often find us if we just do it out in the open.

Yes he's done that too. Recently in fact. It's forced us to find a secure area to rest, which means more encounters between rests, which was exactly the result he wanted. I hear people say they have 2 encounters total in an adventuring day, with a short rest in between them, and I think that's...

Our DM hates these spells, so runs them literally and to the letter of the rules. Rope Trick lasts 1 hour, you have to rest a full hour to get a short rest, but you have to get into the rope trick and then back out of it, and if you don't exit within the hour it disappears and you fall, and he...

The new Greater Mark of Hospitality will be pretty handy if there is more Exhaustion in the game. Already it can be used to allow PCs to work throughout the long rest on crafting a magic item and remove the level of exhaustion from not sleeping, which is pretty neat. Which is good, because...

I don't know enough to answer that question as well as someone else I suspect.

They're not in a game. It's more like the rules of magic are game-like (for reasons explained in the books), and the main character has a unique interface which is interpreting the rules for the character in a way he can understand, because he's a nerd from Earth who played RPGs.
