This is not as contradictory as you are trying to make it out to be. If I was trying to right a ship after a major release underperformed, I would certainly get rid of the old staff and hire some new staff.

If there has been a significant shift in strategy that necessitates rethinking the pipeline, it would make sense for them to try and draw extra revenue from elsewhere.

So is there an update on DMsGuild too, or just beyond?

Me too.

This is pessimistic and dystopian, but I think despite the very loud outcry against GenAI TTRPG stuff, the fact is that the TTRPG space is very highly susceptible to GenAI content. Because we have added millions of casual players over the last 5 years or more, the fact is that most of them do...

That is a pretty low level for even most modern indie games. What games do you think hit that spot?

RPG supplements, as a broad category, are a perfect thing for slop -' both writing and art. It sucks, but there really isn't a alternative.

I agree on an 8 for Hero.

The Force exists in the Star Wars fiction. But they aren't narrative mechanics.

I am sure some do, but I don't know anyone who works at those schools, and I know a lot of teachers.

ironically, private schools in the US pay their teachers like peasants and their admin like kings, so while the schools look nice on a college application, the education is not particularly good. I have known many people that teach at private schools and they make significantly less than public...

Smartphones and big tech will be the end of art.

Ah, move and maneuver rolls from RollMaster!

And I don't know a single person it thought it was good. No accounting for taste.

That is season 4.

Sure but the system also demands the smuggler not get vaporized with no chance of escape or survival. Protagonists in Star Wars don't go out that way.

No, but it could still have been, you know, good.

I think of that as a different problem. Bad writing and layout can obfuscate even relatively simple systems, and RPGs are notorious in this regard because there is a long history of pumping the word count. I don't think unconnected subsystems built for specific play instances/domains really...

Season 4 was such an improvement over the previous 2, I sort of figured we would see at least that level of quality in 5. But in the end, it was a vain hope; television shows, especially ones that are fandom phenoms, rarely stick the landing. It is one of those shows that would have been better...

You don't have to unsell me on it; I already hated it.
