Sure. But if you are trying to be part of a community, maybe concentrating too much on criticism does more harm than good.

I haven't watched the video yet, but from the above, yes, we've been aware of the tendency of folks spending large amounts of their time talking against things they don't like, rather than for things they do like. And yes, that approach does impact the community. The concept is behind a couple...

(Personifying this to demonstrate the logic. Not actually about any of the named persons.) Frogreaver? I don't know how to tell you this... your stuff isn't that special. S'okay, neither is mine. There are tens and hundreds of thousands of us, and vast amounts of overlap. You, and I, and...

In a practical sense, the difference is that if they had ownership, you would lose the right to sell your own ideas. Boogeyman: An imagined monster used to scare people. In this case, fear of a technicality overrunning the reality. (Use of generic "you", instead of you, Another Guy...

To clarify, as others didn't - they aren't claiming ownership. They are claiming license, which is not at all the same thing. Or, to be even more specific, in posting to their site, you are agreeing to grant them license. Don't want to give them license? Don't put it on D&D Beyond.

Mod Note: Rude. Maybe stop trying to live up to your username. Keep it civil is rule #1 here. You are done in this thread.

How soon we forget. 5e24 was released when it was probably less for the need to do a revision right now, and more because it was the 50th Anniversary.

I... don't recall seeing such interactions. Specifically, it isn't, "I love it but...". It is more, "Ugh, you like that? It should die in a fire!"

If it is that... I don't "adopt" games. Meaning, I don't pick one, and just play that. I don't have a lot of system-loyalty. I just finished up a 5e14 game earlier this year. Before that was Ashen Stars. Next on tap is Savage Worlds. When I run games, typically no two campaigns in a row are...

Do not listen to Tom Sawyer! It is a scam!

Not really. I mean, even if we ignore the insult... Auto-tune takes a performance, and corrects it. Adventures give you material around which to base a performance. The best musical analogy is probably sheet music - it provides the content, but the nuance still comes from the performer.

Sorry, but I cannot say if I would adopt a hypothetical game whose rules are only described as "different from that". That's just not how I choose what games to run or play.

I would generally wait to see the whole implementation before having concerns.

Mod note: Your sparkling disdain is not really compatible with the respect we expect you to show for your fellow posters, even if you disagree with them. You might want to step back from that edge, before you say something truly regrettable.

Until someone stops the top level companies making AI from scraping the entire internet, this is hardly a concern. Plus, this kind of boilerplate existed before generative AI was a thing, and kind of needs to exist if you want to be able to put your own material into D&DB.

Long scale has a separate word for 10^9. The more correct long scale notation would have been 1.2 milliard, rather than 1,200 million.

D&D Beyond, in general. So, this will include homebrew content monsters and magic items and such, as well as messages.

The cue is that, in the world of numbers, you would not write $1.200 million unless those trailing zeroes were especially meaningful.

Yeah. If they don't have such terms, their own publishing can be paralyzed. Even if they never actually look at user-posted content, if they publish something, someone will have posted something similar, and claim WotC owes them for it.
