    WotC Would you buy WotC products produced or enhanced with AI?

    Who gives a damn about that? My refrigerator isn't replacing people in creative industries.

    WotC Would you buy WotC products produced or enhanced with AI?

    'Enhanced' is a loaded word there. Just look at AI-'enhanced' movie remasters. Those extra pixels aren't really an enhancement when out of focus faces are sharpened and background details are lost in a slurry of color because of the algorithm getting confused.

    WotC Would you buy WotC products produced or enhanced with AI?

    We're delusional because we don't want to support products made using regurgitation machines trained on stolen data? Like what even is this take. Edit: The question isn't whether we'll never purchase any products that use AI... it's about WOTC products.

    WotC Would you buy WotC products produced or enhanced with AI?

    I've already been abstaining from WOTC products since the OGL Crisis so it would just reinforce my decision to keep supporting third party stuff. As long as it was also made by actual humans.

    Level Up (A5E) Adept Question

    Meanwhile I'm playing a Quickstepper adept who regularly has 25 to 26 AC thanks to no-stamina Expert Tumble and 140 HP thanks to having 18 Con and the Hardy Adventurer Feat. In 12 levels I've almost gone down once to a 50+ damage critical.

    D&D General 2nd edition player handbook class examples.

    5E really doesn't scale that high. Even a Wizard with wish isn't doing a fraction of what Strange and Scarlet Witch can.

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    I don't trust anyone in the modern MMO landscape to get it right. All the MMOs generally cited as the best are like 15 to 20 years old & most of them have changed hands at least once.

    WotC WotC (Mistakenly) Issues DMCA Takedown Against Baldur's Gate-themed Stardew Valley Mod

    The complicity of youtube in platforming awful people is rather beyond the scope of this thread, but it's difficult to overstate how much of a bad look it is that WOTC hired a company known for being so brutal that the US Government made it illegal for themselves to hire them.

    D&D General Former WotC Employee Greg Bilsland Returning to D&D?

    Maybe Chris Perkins was right when he said he felt the future of D&D was in good hands--Cao leaving, Bilsland returning. Makes me a bit more optimistic about their upcoming products.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Unveils Dragon Delves' Eclectic Art Styles

    I wasn't until I realized it was a wyrmling.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Unveils Dragon Delves' Eclectic Art Styles

    I'm hoping the bronze dragon is heavily zoomed in because the background is way too blurry and indistinct if that's all of/most of the image.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Unveils Dragon Delves' Eclectic Art Styles

    My favorite is the black dragon. Fantastic piece.

    WotC Chris Cao has left WotC

    For what it's worth, the insider talk was that Cao was behind a lot of the bad decisions WOTC made with the OGL crisis and was one of the driving forces behind the Sigil VTT... so with both those initiatives DOA it's not surprising he's out. Has to find something else he can egregiously monetize.

    Level Up (A5E) A5E First Impressions

    It sounds to me like they're essentially asking 'which button do I press', but in general that's your decision. The players should be telling you what they want to do like "I flex my muscles to make him think twice about coming at me" or "I'm going to blend into the crowd and act very casual"...

    New R.A. Salvatore Novel, Starring Drizzt's Daughter, Title and Synopsis Revealed

    Wait she's okay with killing orcs and goblins even if they're not a threat?

    D&D 5E (2024) Anyone else dislike the "keyword" style language of 5.24?

    Keywords are good, but think the bigger issue is the way they are implemented in 5.24 is kind of clumsy. It's trying to mix natural language and mechanical language together in ways that can be kind of awkward to read and write.

    New R.A. Salvatore Novel, Starring Drizzt's Daughter, Title and Synopsis Revealed

    So it's like naming a kid John Zane and giving him the nick name John Z or Johnzy. Edit: I guess that confirms Drizz't and Cattie Brie are from the American accented part of Faerun.
