Players will log into the system and will play an adventure under the supervision of a Gripnr-certified Game Master. After each game session is over, the outcome will be logged on-chain, putting data back onto each NFT”“To sum up: Players will buy a pre-generated D&D character, play with it in pre-generated adventures, level it up on the blockchain, and then sell it. It sounds like easy money, right? You’ll get paid to play your favorite game.”“As PCs gain levels in-game, Gripnr asserts that their associated NFTs will become more valuable, and when they are re-sold, the owner and any creatives who contributed to the associated portrait will receive a cut of the sale price.”This is even stupider than I initially thought… certified DM, selling char (I expected items), even thinking anyone wants to buy your char…Open to fraud as well, because the items apparently ultimately are under DM control, leading to“there’s incentive for players and game masters to abuse gameplay—or even just fake a game, inputting values onto the NFT without actually playing—in order to artificially inflate the value of their NFT-PCs.Comer is aware of the issue, and apologetic. He doesn’t quite know how to prevent fraud yet,”I thought their game would be in charge of that, because if anyone can just assign themselves whatever items they want this is all completely pointless (and worthless). Maybe solve that one before you even start building anythingAnd then there also is still this, the article rightfully points out that the OGL covers rules and monsters well, but classes very little“the OGL only allows certain elements and mechanics of the D&D system, not the whole game, and Gripnr <a href="https://medium.com/@km_72742/gripnr-introduces-the-glimmering-the-worlds-only-5e-on-chain-play-to-progress-ttrpg-tabletop-9c6d8632d2ef" target="_blank">has stated</a> that it will “provide better options for 5e play” which players have been “clamoring” for.”</blockquote>
