If I remember right, the author did up all of the followers from BG1 up in the comic's artstyle at one point. The various extras they've done on the book showing how all the different species all look different to each other were also pretty neat

Don't gotta give oxygen to this nonsense I mean if we were giving publicity to anyone something something twitch dot tv slash Mecheon something something

I'm just finding it funny we're having the discussion about restricted races on a BG3 thread of all things Where people have modded all sorts of crazy stuff into the game. Like, we got Hyur, Roegadyn, Garleans and Elezen from FFXIV. The only restrictions are 3d modelling which, yeah, that's a...

Until Bobby can't get his yaucht in which case the AI suddenly disappears or finds itself replaced by a dumber model. CEOs will eat anyone below them, but they absolutely have will have a killswitch ready to stop AI hurting them. The thing is, we're talking data anaylsis. We get that very same...

And then the AI logically declares the shareholders are bad for company stability and they should be removed because its looked at the data and seen one too many cases where shareholders have just throttled a company after making their profits CEOs and shareholders aren't going to give AI power...

Yes, I also have heard of Roko's Basilisk but find it rather dumb as it really goes hard oon the 'oh the AI will just do this clearly" when I frankly think the main thing that'll happen is the AI being shut down the moment it freely judges efficiency and tries to fire a CEO We have an VR AI...

Its still depriving actual authors of doing work. AI work is lazy by design, its doing the barest minimum and acting like its something to be proud of. Regardless, we don't even know 'where' this tech will be at any of these times because its developing tech. I don't buy into hypemen speech...

Because we're not paying an actual author to write something worthwhile. AI is not synonomous with 'high quality work replicating that of a deceased author', its synonomous with 'cheap trash that no one wanted to waste time or so they threw it at a machine, packed up the result, and are...

Yes. Sure, 50 Shades of Grey is blatent fanfiction where you can downright see the "right its been a week or so, time to throw everyone for a massive curveball" hallmark of fanfiction dot net writing, but someone put work and effort into it. They didn't just put a prompt into something and get...

Completely fair! But, one very relevant video needs to be dropped about a certain someone... Carnotaurus is pretty famous. Showed up in Jurassic World, showed up in Disney's Dinosaur, pretty regular showing But it was the carno's appearance in Prehistoric Planet that won our hearts.

Can't remember which and unfortunately the one website actually listing "This is what all what was playable in 2E" is down, but it was a later one post those books about draconians setting out on their own. May have been early 3E instead?

LotR and the Hobbit are popular, but they're not D&D, and D&D doesn't try to be them. BG3 is popular but I think CR may have the sheer weight at the moment just due to age Look, if we want to be all in Tolkein stuff, D&D is bad at emulating Tolkein and has ever since day 1. Emulating Tolkein...

The most unquestionably popular D&D thing basically ever, Crticical Role, runs closer to the 4E god layout than AD&D. also if we want to anecdote things, when I tried to get a friend into D&D and told of the 5E races, she immediately went for Tabaxi. This is because khajiit, of course...

Like every single TV show has them just. Jumping out of the water. Its a bit of a meme. So people went silly with the meme. One of the closest relatives of pteranadon. Also notably one of the very few pterosaurs who just, don't have hands. Just, completely lost all of the hand except for the...

In a blog post these were described as being the equivilent of sticking a howitzer on a golf cart and calling it a tank. Lovely we get two of them showing up as they're incredibly obscure critters who people are most likely not to know about Despite us thinking of the Mesozoic as the age of the...

I've found the best one in terms of actual edition history is 1d4chan of all things which, raises a lot of questions about why the fricking 4chan derived thing is the best for actual looking at the histoy of things and how they've changed through editions

Its what I do. Dinosaurs are my jam Ubirajara is about as much of a mess as Tetrapodophis is. By which I mean the exact same person was involved in both and, honestly, Tetrapodophis should probably be withdrawn for much the same reasons (except its fossil is in private hands so not as easy to...

Just going back to this, they'd absolutely be re-invented by the game over time. Not even that the seeds for all three mentioned races were laid in the very next edition, they're just wide, popular archetypes Dragonborn are the playable dragon-people, which have existed since AD&D in the form...

Dinosaurs.... My domain. Love this work, incidentally. Which never ends, incidentally. The artist for this book, Mark Witton, even had a lovely meme up about how things were. There's a reason We don't talk about spino was an immediate hit in the paleo-meme sphere and that is this lovely...

Surprise he didn't get booted eallier, frankly. Given everything else that came out earlier and they stuck their neck out for him back then, surprised he didn't get booted then Sad for the rest of people being fired and I'm hoping this burns Hasbro and WotC bad, but I will lose no sleep over...
