    D&D General Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    Having AI summaries is going to be better than having no summaries, if nobody can be bothered to write them. Then again, players who are lazy probably won't bother reading any summaries in the first place, regardless of where they come from. ;)

    D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

    I had to explicitly prompt for "a female demon with the lower body of a snake, the upper body of a woman and 6 arms" Just asking for "a Marilith" gave me a woman with blue skin, pointy horns and ears and spiky armor, so the model does appear to have a vague idea that a Marilith is a female...

    D&D General Why is the multi-classing spell slot math so weird?

    I think the most precise solution would be keep fractions when adding the caster levels, and then finish by rounding to the nearest whole number.

    D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

    I've gotten decent results by starting with a screen clip from google maps with roughly the right layout I want for a battlemap, and then prompting the AI to style it.

    A heist doesn't even have to be shady in itself if you're stealing from shady people!

    D&D 5E (2024) No 5.5 AP Yet?

    I do miss a good adventure path. I'm not particularly interested in adventure anthologies - I can write short adventures myself, and they play better than purchased adventures since mine will be tailored for our campaign and characters. But adventure paths provide a different style of game...

    Penguin Random House Announces New D&D Romantasy Book

    Constructed languages are languages like Esperanto, that were intentionally designed rather than evolved through use.

    Penguin Random House Announces New D&D Romantasy Book

    I was just curious about why Paul thought these particular words specifically were "artificial", seeing how gendered pronouns go back to prehistoric time before there was any kind of constructed language. His reply was quite interesting, and I kinda agree with his perspective. Anyway, I just...

    Penguin Random House Announces New D&D Romantasy Book

    So why did you call out gendered pronouns specifically for being artificial, when all language is?

    Penguin Random House Announces New D&D Romantasy Book

    I don't think there's anything "artificial" about gendered pronouns, they most likely evolved as "naturally" as any other language constructs.

    Rules for Drunkenness

    The one time I remember that drunkenness mattered in 5e was when a PC was deliberately trying to get some troublesome NPCs drunk. We resolved it by having the drinkers roll CON saves vs Poison. One failed save and you get the Poisoned condition, two failures and you fall asleep. (The PC won, he...

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    What makes Defiling evil/unethical in Dark Sun is there is so little life left on Athas in the first place. Every time a Defiler casts a spell it undermines the world's capacity to support life and civilization. On a more typical D&D world with abundant nature the ecosystem would be strong...

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    From what I remember of 2nd ed. Dark Sun, Preservers played mechanically exactly like the PHB Mage, while Defilers had significantly faster level progression. 5e doesn't do separate XP tables for classes. A suitable bonus for Defilers in 5e could perhaps be that casting by Defiling has a...

    D&D General How does spell banished work

    There are no rules at all for exactly where on their native plane a banished creature ends up, so if it matters the DM will have to decide. We do know that only creatures banished from their native plane to a pocket dimension are incapacitated, so creatures banished to their native plane can...

    D&D General A Way for Players to Roll Hidden Checks

    You could design a DM screen with a slot facing the players, that goes into to a chute that ends in a tray on the DM side. So when the situation calls for a secret roll, the player puts their most trusted dice in the slot and hopes for the best, while only the DM sees the result.
