    AD&D 1E On Demi-Human Level Caps

    I've got no level limits, but .... clerics are limited in what spells they can cast based on the power of the deity.

    AD&D 1E Rules that are kinda cool but everyone forgot

    I remember playing a half-elf that slammed against the cleric level limit .... that was annoyingly low.

    AD&D 1E Rules that are kinda cool but everyone forgot

    Which speaks to another thing that's always bothered me: the super-long lifespans of elves. I gave them the same lifespan, ultravision, better dex, worse strength. What I realize writing this? Doing that allows "Long-lived gorgeous pointy-eared beings of intelligence and grace" to be fey...

    AI/LLMs Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    I've seen AI "hallucinations" in the course of my day job. I work in an industry where precision of information is vital. I've seen clients come in with AI generated arguments that are just fabrications. I've now seen the same doing gaming stuff that doesn't put lives at risk. If the AI can't...

    AD&D 1E Rules that are kinda cool but everyone forgot

    I've got con checks for anyone in body points. Con+HP - so folks might fail at 3/4 body points.

    AI/LLMs Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    So, because I'm not a total chud, and because I try to keep an open mind, I spent the last week trying to do something positive/constructive with an AI LLM, because some folks see vary pro AI.... and I am the opposite. I remain largely unchanged. While the LLM was able to create some meritous...

    So many clues, most ignored.

    AI/LLMs Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    Maybe I push back on that notion because I'm a former professional photojournalist and did a lot of image work in that role.

    AI/LLMs Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    This whole mess just become messier - or not. The US Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal on a Federal Court decision that found AI material cannot be copyrighted. Which raises questions on how material with partial AI content can be treated.

    AI/LLMs Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    I'm challenging you on your statement. You seemed to suggest that because people couldn't tell the difference between AI material and flesh-tube material, that the AI material was somehow equivalent. Was that not your point?

    AI/LLMs Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    I think that's defensible. So... we're OK with the organized theft and re-use of human-created art because the machines that stole the art are so good at mimicking what they stole that the theft is now something we're gonna ignore? Each computer in a data centre uses as much power in one hour...

    AI/LLMs Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    Humans create art. Machines assemble synthesized stuff stolen from humans. There is no such thing as "AI art."

    AI/LLMs Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    Valid. SO let's see what happens with a "better" prompt.. Please create an NPC that may be found in a large port city; low-level (1-3) but interesting, designed for a D&D 2e setting with characters about fourth-or fifth level. The world has few magic-users, but acknowledges clerics from the...

    AI/LLMs Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    If you can't create a low-level NPC that might be interesting to the party, you are probably a crap DM. Any human can follow that prompt. I could give you six of those in the next 12 minutes and I haven't had coffee yet.

    AI/LLMs Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    Ok, So how would you argue that a modern AI spellcheckimifactor is different from the good old days? I mean, totally off-topic now but this is the interwebs ....

    D&D General Do you use D&D style list of gods in your games?

    The deities are ... real. They have spheres, sometimes spheres that overlap. They are grouped into two classes; greater and lesser. There are .... forces at work creating issues for the deities. The party may find that out in time.

    D&D General "True Neutral": Bunk or Hogwash

    I'm playing a true neutral in an online game; but I'm focussing on trying to place her as a "any time you get too much bureaucracy, you get bad things happening to people" point of view.
