Ed Greenwood does not have eternal life... I hope he gets to be a 100+ and continues to write for FR, but WotC/Hasbro is an immortal corporation. And let's not forget, we don't know the exact details. It might be as little as a 32 page adventure for all we know or a map book (like the 2e one)...

From what I'm seeing on the technical side, we're hitting technical walls that can't be solved due to the nature of LLMs. And that would mean we would need something else AI that's not LLM to get over those walls. But we'll see. BG3 and Solasta I don't see as replacements for pnp RPGs, I see...

I think hamburgers vs. fries is the bad comparison. Think more of it of restaurant vs. drive-through, if the restaurants are mostly empty and most sales go through the drive-through. Would you build the next location with an as big restaurant? Or would you concentrate on the drive-through...

Do you have a source for that besides your gut? We have data that in 2024 60% of the D&D sales were digital... Care to explain that in context of your statement?

I've played around with a couple of different LLMs for this, including a specialized service for this (forgot the name). It was interesting, and I can see why people like it. But... I tend to see that people 'try' it and that's generally a short individual session, not a campaign. When we look...

I know it's popular to portray WotC/Hasbro as an Evil(tm) Machiavellian multinational, but... WotC/Hasbro is following the market. The market started to change drastically six years ago (pandemic). At this point WotC/Hasbro is selling more digital D&D product then printed D&D product, and...

Why thank you! * bows * ;) I don't think so. I think the point was that some indie publishers were able to produce some illustrations without relying on AI generation. But that's imho misrepresenting the situation now. Many indies operating today wouldn't have been able to operate 40 years...

Humans survived for thousands of years without fire... 'Dire', as in the cover illustration was so bad that I didn't bother reading the title, it would have been better if no illustration was used. That is of course a matter of taste, but from my perspective, any sense of taste was lacking. And...

Especially when many do the actual design and writing themselves and illustrations often needs to be outsourced with money they don't have. Previously they either tried to draw themselves, often with dire consequences or they used stock illustrations, which often feels even worse then good AI...

But we had about 150+ years of no laws for them. When was the last time a skyscraper (or two) in North America was blown up by a UAV? And the reason why drone laws were introduced around here was because they became so cheap that they became a nuisance and sometimes a danger, before that there...

Humans have been doing that to each other for 300 millennia, without human looking androids, androids won't make matters worse. How long have there been unmanned flying vehicles (look it up), and how often have they been used by bad actors? The worst offenders tend to be vehicles with actual...

I take umbrage at that! Everything tastes better with curry! ;)

Do you do these things on a regular basis? If you do, you realize that you don't just write a summary for target audience xyz, it requires many, many revisions to get a concise but accurate approximation that's understandable for the target audience. Depending on the consistency of the output...

Plans tend to not survive with reality...

You look dashing! Honestly... I HATE shopping for clothes and shoes. When I finally find something that conforms to my 'high standards' (and size), it's going to take a LONG time. And when I finally find something I like, they often don't have enough of it in stock and often can't get more... I...

Honestly, I don't know what to think of Storypath Ultra (the standalone system) from what I've seen of it... It's a divergent path of the Storyteller system and with the changes to it I wonder if it left something behind of what the Storyteller system made so attractive in the first place...

In early editions of D&D things had very defined roles, even having mechanics exclusive to those classes (% of the Rogue for example). D&D Basic (red box) even included species in the class, HeroQuest (boardgame) did it the same way... 2e added 'kits' to add some more variety, 3e went with a...

Happy news then, FVTT V14 has that natively for ApplicationV2 framework modules: Release 14.349 | Foundry Virtual Tabletop The final version will most likely require V14 to be used, that's what I remember them saying, and Ember will be/is a ApplicationV2 framework module... As for moving stuff...

I suspect years, at least 5-6 before they would even consider giving up on the license... And if we'll ever see another book for FFG SW, I doubt it at this point. Maybe a second edition IF Asmodee ever gets in a better financial situation and I suspect that's also going to take years. Now, look...

In 20 days, 6 years. (Starships and Speeders) FFG (and it's spinoffs) has had the license for board/card/miniature/RPG games for almost 15 years, which is longer then WEG (11 years) and WotC (10 years). Looking at the Asmodee situation, the pandemic didn't help, the sale to Embracer didn't...
