Says the person typing on a computer... How many 'jobs' were taken by computers and automation, many. Advances in technology changes jobs people do and how they do it. The printing press took a lot of 'jobs' of people transcribing books by hand, but would you rather live without printed books...

What kind of choice do they have? Which studio could do a BG4 justice AND would want to work with WotC/Hasbro after Larian Studios made it very clear they wouldn't do it under no circumstances... And Larian was a group of developers that always wanted to make a D&D crpg, so they ignored a lot of...

Yeah, I remember the old site, it allowed us to play 3rd edition before the books were even out. Got us out of the 2e slump we were in... Still playing with most of that group today!

Cocks earned a 2023 base salary of $1.5 million, stock awards and options of roughly $11 million, and nearly $2 million in performance pay, according to the company's (Nasdaq: HAS) 2024 proxy statement. What he's earning in 2024 we'll see in 2025. And WotC/Hasbro didn't even do that...

Wait... What? There is no written/signed agreement at all? If that's the case how is your salary upheld? I'm a freelancer (so a business to business relationship with my client) and don't have any of the normal employee protections. But I still have a contract that lay out my responsibilities...

I'm kind of curious how those number line up compared to pre-pandemic numbers compensated with inflation. Hasbro 2019: https://investor.hasbro.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hasbro-reports-revenue-and-operating-profit-growth-full-year-and Inflation 2019-2024 (23.3%)...

At this point I honestly don't care. If you went to work for WotC in the last 20+ years, you know they're doing these on the regular, you knew what you were getting into. If not, then this is a good learning experience. I'm a (semi) fan of D&D, not a fan of WotC/Hasbro and don't know the people...

I've always found Ars Magica interesting, it always reminded me of Mage: The Sorcerers Crusade/Dark Ages in a good way. Our group would never have played it though, thus I never picked it up physically. Until the Bundle of Holding came out with all the AM5e pdfs (no DRM AND via DTRPG), thus...

Everything changes, and it all stays the same.

I on the other hand roll on the "Right tool for the job." side of things. I don't give two Fs on how much effort was put into X for me to use it, as long as X is useful to me. And someone could have gone to great lengths to have written something and it can be still absolutely terrible. And as...

Because 'someone's AI slop' isn't zero work and probably cost some money for subscriptions. The non-zero work includes prompting 'skills'. We have been able (and have done so) to create our own settings, our own adventures, and even our own rules for decades AND we still buy the 'slop' created...

You better drench them in holy water first, or next thing you know, they're playing death metal all night long...

That's a load of BS! In all cases it's a problem with the consumer, not reading well enough and/or not understanding what they're buying. Let me start by saying up front that I find that Wizkids (prepainted) miniatures tend to be quite expensive (I bought the gigantic Tiamat) and the painting...

I've stopped watching on Netflix after 5min. I'll probably watch it when I'm in the mood for that kind of campy silliness. But I'm told we exactly replicated the Speak with Dead scene today... ;) But those that did watch it in my group were very enthusiastic as they found the campy silliness to...

According to the 5e Teleport spell, they take 3d10 force damage and you reroll on the table to see where they land... The teleport spell is very clear on how it works... If you throw 'mishap' again, another 3d10 force damage and keep rerolling. Besides that, it's either on target, a similar...

System agnostic isn't going to happen, even a PF2E version isn't happening and that would attract a LOT more backers/customers/people then A5E. What I don't get is why A5E is a separate game system within FVTT and not a module for dnd5e like Starfinder 2e is a module for PF2E or how they now...

Amateurs! That's why you have a bag of holding... Fold body, insert into bag, dump in some marsh. If you want to be safe, pore some holy water over the body... If no BoH is available, just fold the body in some chests, use either a donkey or Tensor's Floating Disk to move the chests. Or if...

Those beholder dice... They look good in this picture, but if you follow the link and go to gallery, you can see the actual dice and they look pretty horrible (and not in a good way)...

But... At a great cost of Halruaan lives and loss of sanity among the realm's spellcasters, Halruaan mages used Lady Sheive's magic to use the energy of the blue fire to save most of their kingdom by shifting it into another world, Abeir. And if you were by chance in the lands left behind...

She looked in the mirror and realized she was an AI model...
