Sounds to me more like "The lurkers support me in email." Same here, also grew up in the midwest, didn't hear people ranting about participation trophies until the 90s, after I was out of college. Maybe it started on the coasts and worked its way inland?

No, he says the opposite, that the young'uns would be fine with it: "I think the idea that younger gamers want a 'safe' game--whatever that means--is utterly wrong." He never mentions D&D or any other specific system.

Strictly online nowadays. All the groups I play with include people who are either geographically distant or housebound due to disability.

I checked "optional / temporary." I personally have no interest in Tiny gnomes, but I have no objection to a homebrewed or even official Tiny variant.

Is that a recipe for Gnome Stew?

It's a common failing of gamers. Pretty sure I've seen it once or twice on this forum over the years as well. ;)

I'd never even heard of this one before, much less run it, but I looked it up and it sounds very cool!

I am currently running a high-level, no-magic-items game. The players accepted that without a murmur, but they balked when I considered also making it a no-feats game during the design phase. So for my group at least, feats are apparently considered more necessary.

Come to think of it, you didn't even specify female. Did it give you any male options? Or is that a separate setting somewhere that just wasn't included in the prompt?

This is one of those threads that just boils down to "Better for which purpose?" Neither approach is objectively superior; either one can be superior for a particular user.

I like how you don't specify "copious amounts of cleavage," but the AI helpfully inserts it anyway. You'd think the default for "cleric" would be a bit more modest.

How did you picture that working with a human DM, though? Tabletop D&D and Elden Ring are entirely different genres, even though they have a lot of DNA in common.

I've incorporated a few third-party adventures into multiple campaigns: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/184744/The-House-of-the-Midnight-Violet https://www.dmsguild.com/product/323727/The-Crumbling-Stair https://www.dmsguild.com/product/369575/The-Court-of-Seasons

To be clear, when you say you have no idea about the character, are you looking for help with the mechanical build or ideas about backstory/personality/etc.?

It isn't, or wasn't, just a VTT, though. They have Maps for that. This was supposed to be an innovative, first-of-its-kind 3D VTT with special effects.

I mean, I've always thought this, but WotC seemed to be all in. I'm surprised they are changing course on it this fast.

I play straight 2014 5E, and I certainly feel like fighters can do those things. Some players might be less inclined to try it because fighters don't typically have high charisma. But for something like gathering information from other martial types, which would be right in their wheelhouse, I'd...

I picked "Other." I'm running two campaigns that happen on alternate weekends. There was a week when I couldn't play, so I shifted both campaigns ahead by a week. But then someone in campaign #1, which was up first, couldn't make the intended next session, so I had to bump that session and move...

I'm not an oldschool gamer, and oldschool playstyle isn't a priority for me. So I just figure it's not for me. It apparently does what it does well and pleases people who want that style, and that's fine.
