    Dungeons & Dragons Will Announce New Products at Gen Con, Modules Returning to Game

    Agreed. I used to run s lot of AL twice a week for years at a flgs . I occasionally heard of them mentioned online discussion here/YouTube but don't think any of usat the shop ran them other than the one that was written by someone there because she went around excitedly giving it to us...

    D&D General Unseelie Court members

    Depending on what you are looking for, Dfrpg: our world might be really helpful. It's going to tell you about the (un)seelie courts and how they function internally as well as between each other and nonfey in the Dresden files novels but they draw from & extend the myths. Don't expect to find...

    100%. People who only know fr often seem to aggressively assume that the process is identical for converting to other less legally distinct but virtually identical settings This not so simple conversion gets even more complicated when poor mechanical support leads to the conversion also...

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    When talking about an adventure or some other small time creation the distinction is usually something like this: A: one or more images that the author put effort into generating so they show off something that the adventure creator thought was cool and relevant to the adventure they put time...

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    You were quick to throw out words like "stolen", that makes Plato's cave relevant. Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" describes prisoners chained in a cave who mistake shadows on a wall for reality, until one escapes and discovers the true world outside. Every single artist dating back to the...

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    Name five well known artists who came from Plato's cave. Alternately how about a single artist who meets that bar and has zero exposure to the set of others to be inspired by.

    It seems like they are moving that way. I've seen pictures of recent adventures that list basic details like remote forest village in a page1 box but can't be bothered to find it. I'm sure someone will have it handy and link or copy-paste it up

    Did the rest of the partially quoted post you omitted hit too close to the inconvenient nail for you? Are you going to make us laugh by claiming a non native English speaker using chat gpt to assist with translating an adventure they put out as AI assisted wouldn't be swarmed by the anti ai...

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    Despite the fact that some folks seem to think artists are the only possible flavor of "content creator" I have zero doubt that there will be real actual harms both for actual content creators and actual customers as @ECMO3 described. An awful lot of the small stuff gets put together as a fun...

    That's kinda the point the point, your treating Yesterday'sChampion Today'sChampion & Tomorrow'sChampion as connected individuals instead of that short sighted outlook of in the now fully ok using force for an incremental improvement to a very narrow greater good as long as Today'sChampion...

    Champions is actually a good term for darksun because of reasons you don't touch on. For darker settings to remain dark rather than trivially becoming pleasant it pretty much requires the PCs to be proactive dogooders trying really hard to make the world very slightly less awful or things get...

    D&D 5E (2024) Indirectly Buffing Rogues, Rangers, Monks Via Magic Items?

    I tried that so many times for so many years with 5e & frankly wotc themselves poisoned that well so badly that players who started with 5e don't even know how to make a reasonably plausible list (I've seen holey avenger sword of wishes & similar wayyy too often from level 1 players). Worse...

    D&D General Reincarnate is and has always been, weird.

    I kinda miss those funky possibilities, they made it potentially interesting rather than just pointlessly random like the current version. They should just straight up pull from gameliit/litrpg/isekai if they are worried about useless combos and do something like " gm picks one appropriate...

    D&D General Are you content with what you have in DnD regarding physical/digital material?

    Optional and variant rules. A better skill system, the missing tactical grid combat that 5e simplified away, and rules with a higher standard than "Crawford had a ball" that recognize not every player is going to self moderate like he did. Just as a few examples

    D&D General Design issues with 5e

    Citation needed! That sounds a lot the kind of sage posterior wisdom that did tsr in. You say that "modern players" quite authoritatively without any source or data for the claim l, is it just an N=1 survey of your own personal experience in your personal circle of players? In my experience...

    D&D General Design issues with 5e

    Buying items in town is pretty much the point. The auctions happen when they happen a the table avoids descending into a shopping session where the party's diplomancer or rogue just makes the pain worse for everyone else. When it comes to the party saying "huh none of us want this, let's sell...

    D&D General Design issues with 5e

    On this tangent is somewhat solved by between session "Vickrey auction". It's a sealed bid auction where the winner pays the second highest bid. The auction type encourages bidders to bid around the actual value and the gm can manage results somewhat with NPCs bidding above bids that aren't...
