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

WotC is VERY opposed to it on principle, if Mark Rosewater is to be believed. Honestly a huge part of what makes MtG stand out in the card game world to this day is the beautiful and imaginative art, and they would NOT want to jeopardize those sales with AI Slop (and beacuse of how lucrative lootbox gambling is, they can afford to go all out and justify not cutting corners).

D&D team have also been very outspoken against AI.

Hasbro's CEO may be AI-bullish, but the new creative hires at WotC give me confidence that they'll stay the course.

there are other ways of using AI than generating images with it without retouching anything

let’s hope so, it’s not like I want then to

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

The market as a whole is down for a whole bunch of reasons.

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.

There were eight "Racial Feats" in Exploring Eberron (p. 212) and they're included and adjusted for 2024.

• Changeling Metamorphosis (General Feat for Changelings)
• Focused Personas (Origin Feat for the new Changeling Traveler Background)
• Aereni Half-Life (General Feat for Elves)
• Quori Bond (General Feat for Kalashtar)
• Thoughtsinger (Origin feat for Kalashtar)
• Superior Shifting (General Feat for Changelings)
• Envoy Specialist (Origin feat for Warforged)
• Juggernaut Plating (General Feat)

In addition, they've added:

• Aereni Expertise (Origin Feat for Elves)
• Aquatic Adaptation (Origin Feat for the new Malenti Background)
• Khesh'dar Training (Origin Feat for Dhakaani)
• Uul Dhakaan (Origin Feat for Dhakaani)
