Well, we started at ‘a player wants to be a tortle even though it does not exist in the setting’, there was basically no time spent on how we got here. I am pretty sure something along the lines of ‘this is the setting and theme, do you want to join’ happens in most cases before the player then...

If anyone is getting curious about the game, there is a bundle going on that gets you the game and all adventures (#66 to #108, 65 and before are for 3e and 4e) as PDFs for $18...

the issue was the lack of challenge, you can play D&D with fewer fights, just don’t expect them to be overly challenging, and the same appears to be true for DH (based on what was said, have no 1st hand experience)

I guess we will see what Dungeons of Drakkenheim for DH will look like. From the pitch it sounded like they are working closely with the DH creators.

given that this is about AI content in RPG products, I would expect most of that to come from LLMs rather than something trained on tumor scanning, and the results reflect that

To me being sad about a character death is not necessarily a judgment on the choice they made

I assume the 16k is the total now, the 15k is the total for 2024 and the 969 is what they spent in 2025, with all the much smaller numbers being the individual items in 2025

maybe what they wrote, that they are sad the character’s decision led to the character’s death

I kinda expect to find them in the next ‘of Everything’ book

that would maybe be true if 1) the entire product were AI generated rather than, say, the pictures but not the text and 2) a free copy were easily available. So chances are this care rarely comes up

It clearly sold better than expected, but that 2500% percent number is dubious at best. The original statement was it sold a (n expected) year's worth of product in two weeks. That gets you to 2500% if you expect the next 50 weeks to sell just as well as the first two (i.e. the year's worth of...

or at a minimum, mention them by name in unrelated topics like your post in this one ;)

yes, which is why I initially wrote that there probably is some core you are not compromising on, but if that ‘core’ is ‘it has to be a tortle and nothing else will do’, I do consider this lack of any compromise a red flag

we will see how challenging DS is once that gets released. As to a setting for D&D, if the setting has its origins in 1e/2e or caters to the tastes of one table rather than aiming at mass market appeal and sales, then there is a lot less need for it to be a kitchen sink Does that mean it might...

it’s a game of make believe, there is no valid reason
