I love the ideas the AI produced in your example very early in the thread (post #8). What affect does the constant use of AI have on one's own creativity as we look at the use of the calculator/excel and how for me its diminished my ability to quickly calculate numbers in one's head. Now...

Bassam dealt from the bottom

Shield of the Hidden Lord or DM rolled a single die

My father and his books.

I'd likely (and have done) play a child with divine powers or innate arcane powers

I'm just going to add this to the list (if it has already been mentioned) Blackadder's Christmas Carol

@Upper_Krust I did not vote on the kickstarter, but my idea is you release your baby as you feel it should look, your baby, your vision. Aim to have as little to no regrets. Personally I do like the idea of the 3 books as per your post upthread.

Gosh, I voted before I noticed the 2024. I have not yet played 2024, but now I cannot remove it. Ah well.

From someone who has not purchased 5e24 this thread is VERY useful - not because of the OP but because as a neutral I can see how their critical assessment holds up against the replies - what parts are justified and what parts of the critique are just plainly biased.

Is it too soon to propose a name change for the thread A Rant: Driving is not hard

Kelemvor intercedes, ruins Halaster's fun HISTORY: Paladin of Kelemvor trapped in Undermountain where Halaster continually respawns him via the Clone spell for entertainment. Halaster has clones of almost the entire party (long story). In real-time the player has been playing an NPC, Maccath...

Kelemvor intercedes, ruins Halaster's fun.

With a ying and a yang and a yippity-do.

Setting lore matters when it can be used to further their characters' goals. I suspect in a longer campaign it may become easier for them to leverage as more and more lore becomes available. It's also useful for character creation...often enough players scour the setting lore to find something...

Neat ideas. Yes, I only had Orlekto join but turn on Hekaton when Mirran appeared. The amphitheater battle saw Hekaton + PCs (some in giant form) battling the gargoyles, Orlekto, Mirran and Stone Dragon Statue. Iymrith only revealed herself later...before using her lair to divide the party. I...

I get all you're saying...I just do not necessarily agree. Things play differently at people's tables and that's a good thing I'd say. From my perspective as DM it is interesting when players go "off-script" - I find it presents interesting challenges to me, and it is not always quickly apparent...

That is quite unusual given that for starters Zephyros has a tower not a castle like Lyn Armaal and the residents witnessed this; That his arrival and disposition would not be threatening but instead curious and helpful; and That his appearance (clothing and body) would not match the 4 cloud...

Like Tyranny of Dragons this AP can be a real gem with some work ofc. I integrated the two (along with other APs) as it made sense to do so and I'm angling towards a future Doomed Forgotten Realms storyline less any changes done by the PCs. Yes. Read through the Enhancing Storm Kings Thunder...

That's a nice way of putting it. Often it is my players who tend to drive the spectacle and if it passes the table's general sense of realism it is accepted into the story.

I think I understand your point better now. Sorry slow day. So the majority of us are like-minded at the table where the mechanics need to match what is being narrated in the fiction. If the mechanics need adjusting then we are not hesitant to make the necessary adjustments.
