    D&D General Is D&D Beyond Exclusivity Bad for D&D?

    I don't subscribe to music services, and if I really cared about owning a movie, there are a variety of sources for getting a copy. I don't play video games indefinitely. Once I complete a game, I move on. It would be nice to own, but not a priority. Besides, I don't think they'll ever shut down...

    With so few responses, it's clear that AI is the third rail of Enworld thread topics.

    D&D General Is D&D Beyond Exclusivity Bad for D&D?

    WoTC/D&D is the 800 pound gorilla in the TTRPG space. Making their content D&D Beyond exclusive won't hurt them in the least. IMO, it will contribute to shitification of D&D, but if your peer group is playing it, or if it's the latest trendy thing, the lack of quality won't matter. It's only...

    AI/LLMs How are you using AI in your gaming?

    In my private free games that I do not profit from or represent as my own, I've used AI to fill out/add more meat my ideas. I've also used AI to create monster pics. I've used AI for spelling and grammar checks as well as suggestions for flow.

    D&D General I’m Trying to Love D&D Again—and I’ve Got Some Complaints. Young Grognard posting.

    A lot to unpack. I can't answer it all, so I'll touch on a few things. I started playing in 1979. The game was different and people played differently. The younger generations have different proprieties and play styles largely influenced by Critical Roll. I'm not surprised about their...

    Paizo announces 13 Omens, a new horror RPG

    Looking forward to learning the mechanics, lite as they may be. Hopefully, PCs will be "normal" squishy mortals rather than heroes.

    When Is Thread Hijacking Political?

    Which is why it's good to get information from multiple sources. Just curious. Which Middle Eastern political figures would you like to see memorialized?

    When Is Thread Hijacking Political?

    Call me crazy, but I don't think it makes sense to memorialize anyone involved in a hate group, violence or terrorism. Anglo or not.

    AI/LLMs Plagiarism vs. Inspiration

    The best way to avoid all of this is to just come up with your own ideas. I have no interest in negotiating the legal landscape, or any nuance or exception that has been weaved into the copyright laws. All I know is that copying another person's idea is wrong.

    D&D 5E (2014) Let's Talk About Guns in 5E

    If guns are limited in damage, range, rate of fire, and effectiveness, they can be used in a D&D type setting. (e.g. No AR-15's in D&D, please) However, I personally don't care for guns in a medieval-type setting. For those who like mixing magic and technology, I recommend StarFinder.

    D&D 5E (2024) DnD 5e designer [Mike Mearls] explains how INDIE RPGs are taking over

    I don't know how this could be accomplished, but it would be helpful for other games if somehow D&D wasn't the default when people think of TTRPGs.

    What RPG(s) did you stick with an earlier edition?

    IE. I just got comfortable with it, and didn't really care to switch to 2E, until later.

    WotC D&D Beyond launches its character 'quickbuilder'

    This is good news. It will help people become less attached to their character and view them as expendable. Welcome back 1E! :);)

    D&D General How do you do smart chaotic evil?

    It's essentially a matter of self preservation which all beings have regardless of alignment. And if CE beings didn't have a sense of self preservation, the alignment would self-select itself out of existence. What is your source for the definitions of alignment?
