    Hasbro CEO Reiterates That AI Isn't Used to Make D&D Because of the Game's Audience and Creators

    Because CEO types like him take silence as permission. The more out of touch they are, the louder you have to be to be heard by them.

    Hasbro CEO Reiterates That AI Isn't Used to Make D&D Because of the Game's Audience and Creators

    Huh? That’s literally what regulation is. It’s not a matter of what I like or what’s cool. People can like whatever they want, but technology that works because of and enables rampant plagiarism, generates sexual content of people, including minors, without their permission, and creates serious...

    Hasbro CEO Reiterates That AI Isn't Used to Make D&D Because of the Game's Audience and Creators

    Transphobia turning off her younger consumers? I’m from the first generation to get hooked on Harry Potter, started reading it even before the original Warner Bros marketing deal, before there was a single piece of merchandise. Most of the energy around HP boycotts is from people my age. It’s...

    Gross. Was he asked specifically about the Harry Potter deal or something?

    D&D 5E (2014) Popular death/dying house rules in 2026?

    That was my experience with every variant of the idea I’ve tried. It was always better to just go unconscious that to try to stay standing an risk taking damage at 0 HP.

    The hope is that we will be able to get some regulations established on this stuff before the Alphas grow up.

    WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

    Oh, ok. We have a very deep fundamental disagreement here.

    Also goes to show that us continuing to express our disdain for AI is working, at least in some places.

    Well, the hope is that the bulwark will last long enough that people with decision-making power start to see how bad AI is at its job before that happens.

    That’s the point, that’s exactly what it’s supposed to make you think. But, like all marketing, it’s a ploy to part you from your money.

    D&D 5E (2024) Cthulhu Confirmed!

    I suppose in 3d art it would be that men are made of polygons, women are made of elipsoids. Trans Lara Croft confirmed!

    D&D 5E (2024) Cthulhu Confirmed!

    The (dramatically oversimplified) guideline from the graphic art world is: men are made of triangles, women are made of circles/ovals

    D&D 5E (2024) Cthulhu Confirmed!

    Oh! Ok, that makes sense. I’m far from an expert on monster design, but generally speaking, if you want to communicate that a monster is female, using softer, rounder, more aquiline shape language can help with that, especially if contrasted with harder, sharper, more angular male counterparts...

    D&D 5E (2024) Cthulhu Confirmed!

    Oh, I absolutely agree Sorry, didn’t realize you meant the question earnestly. So, this is entirely culture-dependent, because masculinity and femininity are social constructs. But, in most of the modern developed world, masculinity is treated as the default. This is why we often use gender...

    It’s all vibes, really, but some physical and behavioral traits can have a pretty significant impact on the vibes.

    D&D 5E (2014) Popular death/dying house rules in 2026?

    I also have a Daggerheart inspired death rule I’m using, though slightly more toned-down. When you drop to 0 hit points and aren’t killed outright, choose one: • Put Your Life in Fate’s Hands. Your character falls unconscious and becomes unstable. The DM rolls death saving throws for your...

    WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

    The physical bite isn’t really what’s being judged, except in that he acts like he thinks it’s very large and it doesn’t, to my eyes, appear to be. What’s being judged is the sincerity of the gesture. In the attempt to seem like a “normal man,” he only manages to illustrate just how far removed...

    Whatever you may think of the size of the burger or the bite he took out of it, he is certainly not a normal man.

    WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

    Really. It’s bigger than McDonalds’ other burgers, but it’s comparable in size to like a Five Guys burger.

    Just another example of the ultra wealthy having zero concept of how the working class thinks.
