What you're feeling is the same thing D&D players feel about other RPGs, sometimes a lot of hype about nothing, everyone trying to reinvent the wheel, looks interesting but isn't D&D, etc... ;) The problem for most people is that they have a limited amount of 'room' in their head for...

shrugs Even without 'good' (Foundry) VTT support, I could make most systems work, so that's just a consideration of time/effort, not of possibility. No the unrealistic part comes from me running it with my group. While I love a TON of fantasy/sci-fi stuff, that is not universally shared in my...

I really like the changes to the D&D 5e 2024 MM monsters. Why? That goes into some specifics: I run Foundry VTT, with the official D&D 5e 2024 MM module*, so I don't have the issues that some people have with the physical/DDB versions. The more compact, clearly defined abilities are GREAT! It's...

They look beautiful! I'm still considering what I'm going to put on the walls in my new home... But as this is not available outside of KS backing and/or cons on the other side of the world, this might not be an actual option.

D&D 5e 2024 or possibly Pathfinder 2e. I know, boring! But I suspect that these are the games the rest of the group would be able to stomach for 2.5 years... Support in Foundry VTT is also excellent for both. Setting: Forgotten Realms (Sword Coast) or Golarion (Kingmaker). Although I might opt...

It would be nuts if someone would trademark 'Dawn' and someone couldn't use a long existing word for a product named 'Dawn of a New World'...

While we could blame AI/LLM for that, but that's par for the course for Deloitte, even before LLM became generally available: Deloitte - Wikipedia I also wonder why the Australian government would go into business with a company with such... Shady history, in the first place? I have serious...

Let me ask you the question: Did we really need to sue Red Bull to realize that Red Bull doesn't give you real physical wings? I hope the answer is "Of course not!", because people aren't stupid (only happened in the US btw). So why are so many people suddenly acting, like "But we didn't know!"...

The issue is that the word 'slop' is generic. And examples like these are the equivalent of shining a spotlight on a bricklayer because they performed piss poor and killed the patient as a neurosurgeon. It's about the wrong people using the wrong tool for a job. Not that we're all acting...

n=1 Keep in mind that during the LONG AD&D2e era the core option was Wizard. And a LOT of us came into that from Basic D&D and/or HeroQuest (with also Wizard). Then came D&D 3e, with the Sorcerer added as a core class, book mage vs. natural mage. Suddenly a lot of folks started playing...

If a recent discussion is to be believed: Cannibal.

Happy childhood, endless curiosity, wanderlust... Result: Murderhoboing through Europe... ;)

Somehow, I suddenly see 'The Highlander' in a whole different light... "There can be only one!" Did we ever see what they did with the bodies?

It looks very striking, the color choice and combinations, but it suffers the same issues CY-BORG has. No matter how pretty, readability does go out the window. It still looks awesome though! I do like the digital printer tech (photo on the KS page), it's huge though! But if you have the skills...

Larian did pretty well with Original Sin 1 & 2, and with BG3 went well beyond the original franchise with regards to sales and mainstream acceptance.

Yeah, but this is how you sold the thread to us... ;)

Euh... Euh... Euh... Technology is tools, LLM is a tool. You don't throw a hammer on the ground, shout "Do the dishes!" and expect to be obeyed. Now, that certain people are shouting that AI/LLMs can do xyz does muddy the waters. But you also wouldn't believe the same people if they said your...

I can call what you say a 'lie', but that is inaccurate, you just don't know what you're talking about. This isn't me trying to be offensive or trying to start an argument, this is how the current LLM situation is, people using it with misunderstanding how it works, what they should use it for...

It kind of depends on how you define 'live service games' exactly. The companies behind Path of Exile and Warframe weren't big when the started, something like Valheim is still being developed (still in EA), done by an extremely small team and has been available since feb 2021. Imho throwing a...

I do not agree: 2e => 3e => 5e, it's an evolution. Instead here, they threw out the baby with the bathwater and started over from scratch, just trying to reuse the name. If they want to release a 5e version of Dark Sun, this is a core requirement, and honestly if this is the best they can do...
