5E is a massively different beast to the early days. Not only do hirelings just, not exist at all, but player death is rare enough in the game that for something to be 'common' when it happens, that's downright unusual That's where character retirement can come in. But I do think its worth...

So? It was a poor definition that does not match how the word is used. The context is irrelevant, you're used a word with a definition and then attempted to re-define it in such a way to exclude things that people unequivocally call art, all to try to prove a point about AI. I can describe food...

I mean, small direct to public stuff? Generally not. If you're making a Kaijuborn race and grab some stock Godzilla and Gamera art or movie screenshots to throw in there, I doubt either company is going to come down on you Now, once money gets involved, that's a different story, but if stuff's...

I mean, if you're not doing it as a business then you don't really need art or can just grab... Whatever from around the internet for it instead. You don't need to worry about the legality of grabbing old artwork from the old 3.5e wizard archives and putting that on something Per the optics of...

I mean, that's what you said. I just dragged it out to examine it a bit more. Its a loaded definition of 'art' that not only excludes just about every actual piece of art in human history done in the past, but is being done specifically to bias towards a more pro-AI basis. So, yeah, nah mate...

So paintings, drawings and sculptures aren't art by your standards, unless they're digitised? Humanity as a whole didn't create art until we had computer screens? Interesting take. Its categorically wrong, but its certainly. Interesting.

And they were higher quality prior to it. There's more stuff now, sure, but its not higher quality stuff

Using AI art basically makes people move away from buying a product in the first place. Genuinely, I've been more interested in stuff that's just the maker's scrawlings than some souless, professionally presented AI slop If you want to use art, go and commission an artist to make you...

It is a thread about power creep, though. Power level absolutely is part of the issue at hand. Niche protection doesn't do anything with the fact that the power levels of just the PHB alone are completely off base. The later books add power, sure, but its absolutely needed for most of the...

That's how 3.5e operates, though. If one player's a monk and another's a druid, the druid is outclassing the monk no matter what either of them do. 3.5e's classes were not built equal, and its a massive failing of the system that needs to be factored in when discussing power creep. A GM can do...

Not everyone is smart thoughtful players, though. A class should be viable on its own, you shouldn't have to be dependent on another character feeling merciful and not playing at their full potential. Rogues are a bit of an unfair one to bring up given they touch on the spell system so they can...

I like 3.5E and all, but the problem is really going to come to the fact that, the crazy uber combos like Pun-Pun? They're overdoing it. There's far simpler amazing power combos that are far more subtle than the silliness from cancer mage. 1: Make a wizard, cleric, or druid 2: There is no step...

Fair enough Geekify's got a long history with the Neopets community and a history of not caring about their end products. You can find plenty of upset reviews of their previous work, with fulfillment issues being a particular annoyance for most. Add that in with the number of former devs...

Technically the name should just be "Mi'raj". Al means 'the'. But, well, this is a long standing issue. Its the actual name of the mythical critter in question regardless, and miraj isn't exactly a tricky name.

Are we just forgetting that the playtest had the following statement on the first page: "John will steal anything you do with this project, and the people working on this have not been paid, had contracts forced on them, and John has not read nor understands these rules and demands more naughty word...

It'd be ineffective at what it does and would be wasting the idea. Whole reason a lot of other new martial classes are developed, 'just stick 'em in fighter and ignore 90% of the mechanics' doesn't lead to effective playstyles. If someone wants to play a ninja, they want to be effective at it...

Eh, Geekify have a. History with the Neopets fandom. To us in the TTRPG sphere its 'oh this company has messed up', but over in Neopets? "Geekify mess up merch" is basically how the company's been operating for years. This isn't even the first Neopets kickstarter that Geekify has messed up...

Genuinely I'm questioning the why of it as well Every D&D since 3.0, and even 2E itself once kits got involved, is far more of a character builder game than DCC or even older D&D editions. Genuinely, I think doing this entire process is taking away a bit of the fun of the modern game. Character...

A permanent loss for a temporary thing is a terrible tactical decision. Permanently crippling your character for, not even full HP in one situation is either useless, or only ever going to be used at the end of a campaign where there'll be no lasting effect.

If they wanted them to be unique stand-alone gods, they should have given them unique stand-alone designs and not gone "oh this character that looks 100% identical to Tiamat? yeah that's not-tiamat who's 110% different with no connections despite sharing her job description and personality" It...
