    We All Won – The OGL Three Years Later

    Whether official D&D is in a better place than it was 3 years ago is an open question, but I think it is clear that the heroic fantasy TTRPG space is definitely better off with more games (and more gamers) than ever before.

    AI GMs

    We should all remember that LLMs are trained on us. As it relates to D&D, that is probably literal: it's D&D understanding comes from decades of archives of message board content and, more recently, YouTube content.

    D&D's Obelisk Plotline Was Supposed to Be Resolved in Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    Beadle & Grimm's Platinum Edition of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight
