    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Is Talking About AI in D&D Again

    It can be used to "generate storylines, art, and voices" for an RPG. Note: I don't think AI produces writing and art at a higher quality than humans (yet). But it is cheaper, faster and more productive.

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Is Talking About AI in D&D Again

    AI is cheaper, faster and more productive than humans. No corporation in an uber-capitalist economy is going to stand by and not use it, no matter what they say.

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    My main complaint with 5E 2024 is that they increased complexity of character creation. It seems they realize this. Maybe this will help ease people into the complexity of full on PHB character creation. But that doesn't solve the underlying issue. Looks cool, though!

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    As somebody who started playing D&D in the early 80s and extensively suffered the inherent social consequences of the hobby... oh no!!!!!!

    Mainstream News Discovers D&D's Species Terminology Change

    "Species" may not be the correct word. But "race" is for sure the wrong one. I've known it since I was a kid and I find it confounding that some people either don't realize the many levels of why it is the wrong word for a major RPG publisher to use, or that some people do realize it's the wrong...

    Mainstream News Discovers D&D's Species Terminology Change

    In the early 80s when I started learning D&D I immediately wondered why they used the term "race". Even as an ignorant kid, it didn't make sense to me. As I've turned into an old man and become less ignorant about race, it makes even less sense to use the term for the different playable species...

    D&D 5E (2024) Two Spells, One Turn Confusion Never Dies

    Never even thought of this. I like the 2024 rule better and better.

    D&D 5E (2024) Two Spells, One Turn Confusion Never Dies

    I think the new rule itself is less confusing for me. You get to use only one spell slot per turn. The only question you need to ask is "Does this use a spell slot?" The confusion only came because of a situation in my group. We are still using the 2014 PHB. One of my players used Misty Step...

    D&D 5E (2024) Two Spells, One Turn Confusion Never Dies

    The PHB 2024 it now states regarding spell casting: "On a turn, you can expend only one spell slot to cast a spell. This rule means you can't, for example, cast a spell with a spell slot using the magic action and another one using a Bonus Action on the same turn." This nicely clarifies the...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player’s Handbook is ‘Fastest Selling D&D Book Ever’

    This is great news. I only wish roleplaying was this universally accepted in the early 80s when I started to play. There's some trauma these new players won't have to deal with!

    D&D 5E (2014) Achieved Level 20

    This campaign isn't done yet. We plan on having a few more months of gaming so they can use their god-like powers to finally defeat the big baddie. After that, I'm not sure what we are going to do. Not even sure if we will keep playing D&D. But whatever it is, I'm going to make it more...

    D&D 5E (2014) Achieved Level 20

    It's a challenge for sure. The biggest change was that I needed to prepare on a macro level instead of a micro level. Instead of having a dungeon or confined locations to explore with definite encounters, things have become more open locations like a plane of existence with general information...

    D&D 5E (2014) Achieved Level 20

    The characters in my 5E game have hit level 20! The campaign has been ongoing weekly for the past 10 years. Several players cycled through, but the two have been with me from the very beginning and the third has been in the group for at least five years. We have a half-elf Shadow...
