Oh, super easy answers, take your pick! 1) They won't tell you. They'll just have the books largely written by AI, send a couple editors through it to chop it into the right shape, then ship it. At least 90% of the customer base won't recognize it's AI. 2) They'll make their own AI. With D&D...

A videogame is being made. The other videogames that were being made and were canceled are still canceled. Those artists, designers, programmers, and developers are not getting paid because their project was canceled.

I mean... 1) Large Language Models will never get there, and really that's all we're looking at. But they -are- good at generating piles of to-format content which is what most D&D writing is. "Make a CR 15 Monster based on the monster art you just created from my prompts." and BAM. Instant new...

Sure! I think paired with the killing of Sigil and Video Game stuff and the press on TV and Movies not going great (internally at Hasbro) we might be looking at a massive restructuring and redirection of D&D. Specifically, I think they're gonna go all in on AI.

He got laid off, Perkins and Crawford bailed, Jess Lanzillo... It's all pretty high profile.

This is turning into a bloodbath...

Bard Archetypes are the absolute worst archetypes to design... And it's not because they get a slot at high end. There's just not a lot of room to tell a story across 3 archetype slots at 3, 6, and 14. Even if players rarely level from 1 to 20, the archetype's narrative is important to spell...

The first of Five just sold! Someone with the initials JC is gonna get their character in the book!

... I do not understand how Backerkit functions, I guess. I set a timer for it to launch at noon Pacific time, and it launched 5 hours early. I repeatedly battled it to try and get it to do the EU and it kept resetting. Now that it -has- launched, fully, it let me change it?

@Nikosandros I hate to be a nuisance, but since I know you're in Europe and it wouldn't let you commit could you check to see if it says it will ship to you, now? If it still doesn't I'm going to send in an email.

Just been fighting the Backerkit interface to get the EU out of the list of excluded countries. I hit 'save' and it just keeps reverting.

Once the art is finalized and added to the book, it'll be Print on Demand through Drivethrurpg.com right at the same time I send out copies for the Kickstarter! And it can ship through them to pretty much anywhere.

It is now FULLY LIVE!

There's something weird with Backerkit. MOST people can't access it, but a handful already have. So it's weird.

Sometimes I'm not very smart, it's true.

Wait.. .what? It's not supposed to launch for another 5 hours... fffffffffffffffrick. okay. Well We'll do it live!

Honestly... I'd spread it out a -little- more than that! Con save against Poison? Str. Con save against Petrification? Cha. Anything Con would cover that is "Remain Self" should go to Charisma. Anything that's purely durability over to Strength. Then shift a few Wisdom saves over to...

I can certainly understand that. Raistlin Majere wouldn't be quite so much of a character without a low Constitution score dictating his narrative, too.

Down to 6 hours until launch. My fingernails are getting shorter by the minute.

Hot takes on stat spread for classes: 1) Constitution shouldn't be an ability score we bother with because it's too central to every character's survival. 2) Every subclass should be at level 1 and provide a guideline for 'most important' attributes through subclass structure. 3) Subclasses...
