Ha, that video reminds me of this one my wife sent me a few days ago:

Oh I should've been more clear, when I was talking about themes and atmosphere I was talking about the actual text. It's very evocative, and already inspired and provided direction for some of my dnd5e games.

Yeah the book is just so friggin' inspirational. Holy crud the art, the themes, the ambience and atmosphere that the book evokes.

I think "where's the line" is going to have to be defined at some point. A lot of pro-AI arguments involve the line between what counts as "used AI to produce this." The simplest, probably bad-faith, argument is "spellcheck and/or grammarly are AI, so should I have to disclose AI usage because...

Yeah that was the greatest source of disgust.

Ugh.

Yeah. I'd like to say maybe it's the difference between folk that think that copyright laws are important to incentivizing creation and investment, versus people that think that copyright is stifling and abused... But I don't think they put even that much thought into it.

Nice to hear the crossover is well-received!

That's a great way to come at it (y)

Well when someone is quoting someone to support an argument, and the quote is in fact stated to be misquoted by the speaker of said quote, it can help to share the origin and the actual quote for full context.

I thought this was a curious quote, because I remember the 3e Eberron books having sidebars for splatbook character options suggesting how the DM could fit them into the world, if the DM wanted to. So I looked up the quote: https://keith-baker.com/what-have-you-done-with-eberron/

Yeah, as posted earlier 5e's flat math makes differently-leveled parties playing together fine. And if you're running open table play, a club or a FLGS, keeping everyone the same level and skipping XP makes sense. The only thing I don't understand is the statement that "most new TTRPGs don't...

It's good to know what your own requirements are so no one's time is wasted: not everyone is going to be a fit for every table. TTRPGs have been overall a positive experience for me, even with the few low points, but you must have had some really negative experiences to believe this to be the...

The spell slot idea is indeed a fine one! I've toyed with the idea of bringing back energy drain in the form of draining feature uses, be it spell slots or martial abilities... the concern I had was short rest features weren't too affected. Then I realized that clay golems' max hp damage...

I still rewatch it every year or two, I'm sure a lot of it is nostalgia but I still love it. Fantastic stuff. And yeah the cast is dynamite.

I think it's basic in that it's foundational, a classic, as far as 3e stuff goes anyway. Like Forge of Fury.
