    D&D General DnDbeyond AMA tomorrow (Tues, Dec 9)

    I've literally just been saying "a DM should be able to choose what content sources they allow into their DnDB campaign." That's it. They have existing settings for sharing your purchased content in a DnDB campaign. They have settings on the player character creation home page for what content...

    Will there ever be new editions of the major systems?

    Someone once said we'd see a DnD6e when Disney buys Hasbro- it was probably ~5 years ago that he said that. I still think that sounds about right 🤣

    Yes, this is the entirety of it. It just saves time and headaches; it makes the DM's life a little easier, because it sucks to have a player make a character with a bunch of content because they misunderstood something, and now I have to take all those toys away. Not a great feeling, and it can...

    D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

    I'd really like for this to be the case, but the linked piece Black did is pretty scary good, and it sounds like Black was able to alter details without ruining the overall picture. Gemini is crazy good right now, it seems to be way ahead of stuff like Midjourney...

    I don't think its unreasonable for a DM to expect control over what sources they allow into their DnDB campaign, it doesn't seem like a crazy feature to expect and it makes it a little easier for the DM, buuut considering the pushback I must be the odd one out.

    Ok so I see that they DID add this feature at some point, but it's not under the DM's campaign controls... It's under each individual character's settings when they're made. So you need to make sure each player has turned off all the stuff that you don't want to be used. That's kind of a pain...

    D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

    I didn't want to derail the thread by continuing the ethics conversation, I felt like it was my bad because I brought it up in the first place, so I feel a little better that you're not put off by the convo happening here. To answer the other poster, "what societal impact?" I was talking both...

    D&D General Dwarven adventures recommendations

    Did you ever find something that had it all? Especially the first four. I can't say how many times I've delved into the premade adventure abyss trying to put together a somewhat tight fallen-dwarf hold adventure with hack n slash, puzzles, environs, and RP. I end up opening a couple random...

    D&D General How well does mixing 5es in one table work?

    I'm listening to it now, I was gonna ask what did you do for core rules, but you just let everyone use the core ruleset that their characters were from which is so weird and funny, I'm glad, as you say in the vid, that everyone was still having a good time. Did you ever get any people asking...

    D&D General How well does mixing 5es in one table work?

    There's your answer 😆 The floor being much higher is a big deal for everyone that doesn't spend time on optimization forums.

    D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

    Wow, this ... I can't deny how impressive this is, I have friends that mess around with Gemini a lot and post their output. It's nuts, both the stills and the video. Honestly it makes be a bit nauseous, considering the industry and societal impact of this stuff (especially video, but images...

    D&D General DnDbeyond AMA tomorrow (Tues, Dec 9)

    As a DnDB DM, how do you restrict what content PCs in a campaign of yours can use? In the past you could only choose to not share your personal content with them, but if they had Acq Inc or Rick & Morty or whatever, they could still use it with said character in the campaign; but I was informed...

    D&D General How well does mixing 5es in one table work?

    I've had 5e14, ToV, and A5E characters all running next to one-another, and 5e24 and A5E characters together. The only thing I'd suggest is that you need to choose a "core system:" which system everyone is defaulting to for equipment, spells, feats, etc- especially spells, because otherwise...
