I've got it. I similarly didn't get a lot of use out of most of the mechanics but they have been adequately updated to the 2024 ruleset. Any problems they had before still exist, this isn't a rewrite as much as a straight conversion. I got it because I did use some of the magic items and spells, which are useful to have in the database, but if you are just in it for the non-mechanical content, there isn't a whole lot of use with buying it on D&D Beyond unless you want it to be easily accessible to your players.

Thank you! That is ore or less what I wanted to know. I had already added some spells and magic items via homebrew for my Eberron campaign, but it would be nice to have the whole lot already encoded.

I don’t recall there being any feats in the original book. What are the new feats in this version? I saw KB’s interview with Todd Kenreck, and he talked about some Warforged origin feats.

I'm fairly sure there are species feats in the original EE

RPG supplements, as a broad category, are a perfect thing for slop -' both writing and art. It sucks, but there really isn't a alternative.

Well, now we have WotC offering a curated platform free of AI material...

So the big corporations win again.

Some Indie publishers I know also think the proliferation of AI content has tanked the Kickstarter marketplace. I’m not sure, but I know my last KS (human-made) got about half the number of backers that i was expecting

This is pessimistic and dystopian, but I think despite the very loud outcry against GenAI TTRPG stuff, the fact is that the TTRPG space is very highly susceptible to GenAI content. Because we have added millions of casual players over the last 5 years or more, the fact is that most of them do not care about "human made" and they just want stuff to entertain them and their friends for a couple hours a week. GenAI is actually pretty good at that. Even right now, an "AI GM" can run a perfectly enjoyable game. In another year, it will beat most middling GMs.

we will see how long that is the case, I am not sure WotC is opposed to AI in principle, Hasbro's CEO certainly is not

If they can use it as a selling point...honestly people vastly overestimate folks willingness to pay for AI slop.

I am not sure they would even mention it, use it to cut down on manual / people labor and otherwise keep mum

Indeed. And it is getting a lot harder to detect when something is AI-generated than it used to be even just a few months ago.

I am in the process of looking for a new job. I've been using ChatGPT to help me customize my CV and generate cover letters, which I then edit. I just had an interview earlier in the week where the interviewer said one reason they chose to interview me is because they could tell I'd written the cover letter myself! (Needless to say, I didn't disabuse them of that notion.)

...i think the market's on the downhill side of its post-OGL peak, regardless of AI saturation...
