I don't know if 5E 2014 was the best ever, but imo, it was certainly better than 5E 2024.

By doing business with WotC—whether as a consumer, retailer, or third‑party publisher—you’re ultimately helping fund their future shenanigans and reinforcing the idea that their past behavior was acceptable. I know that taking a single banana away from an 800‑pound gorilla won’t make a dent...

In Wish Master II, the "final girl" is able to ask for a wish the Djinn can't grant, thus destroying him. But in order for her to know about the Djinn's rules and limitations, she would have needed to be aware of Meta information that she did not have access to or discover during the movie. It...

Gaming companies going digital doesn't bother me. Every TTRPG purchase I've made since COVID has been digital, and I don't see a need to go back.

Bingo!

And I have been thoroughly shamed into never mentioning or using AI ever again. :)

Well, I just don't have that sort of mindset/world view, so I'm unable to "step in their shoes" and figure out ways to screw people. I worked for a venture capitalist for 3 years, and the stuff they did just turned my stomach. Especially when they asked me to be creative with the numbers. But...

Yea, I'm so used to people responding "source?", that I automatically include something.

I use AI to bounce adventure ideas off of/fill in blanks, but I found the output to feel very same-y if you ask it to make something from scratch.

No, everyone knows number two. I would have found an alternative source. I've seen AI hallucinate answers before, but I figured this wasn't something it would need to make stuff up about. And honestly, I didn't care about anything after 2. Also, I was being honest about the source. I've seen...

Right, I was originally responding to someone who said everyone is trying to be number two. I think it's pretty clear who number two is, and just how far they'd have to go get to get there.

I only cared about the first two results, and they were accurate.

Fair enough, but Pathfinder is still number two.

IMO, anyone who trust WoTC at this point in time, is setting themselves up to be screwed.

Per AI, it's clear that Pathfinder is number 2. I don't see number three getting anywhere close. Dungeons & Dragons (5E / One D&D) Pathfinder Second Edition (Remastered) Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game ALIEN: The Roleplaying Game (Evolved Edition) Stormlight Archive: The Roleplaying Game...

Whenever someone asks about alignment, this picture comes to mind. The guy on the right - classic neutral.

When I run a game it's to provide a basic structure or foundation within limits. I expect people to focus on the adventure at hand, but what happens on the adventure , and the decisions they make are the story that unfolds.
