Yeah, that’s not at all what the person you were arguing with said. It sounds like you went there to troll and got the reaction you deserved.

I took the time to look through the rest of your comments and, holy shit you suck. Just days ago you were condescending and patronizing gay people for being impatient in gaining equality. I think the best advice I’ve seen on lemmy is to block you.

I just went and read that exchange, and the person who blocked you never said what you claimed.

You went to an article about someone who stabbed a child 26 times after killing his mother and told people to be more understanding of republicans and not blame them for all the hatred they promote. You’re suprised people got mad at you?

But that’s not what the article or the discussion was about, is it?

It also doesn’t really matter who builds it, how it learns is still the primary concern.

I’m pretty sure about it. No one who suggested that deserves to be taken seriously. But intellectual property theft is a legitimate concern and comparing them as equal concerns is disingenuous.

Lots of people produce content and make a living off of 5e, and not just 3rd party producers, plenty of people use patreon as a means to distributetheir work. Will the ai be trained exclusively on WOTC playtesting or will it be able to scour the internet for plot hooks and npcs and loot and whatever else it needs? It’s inevitable, and well known that some of that content has been reposted and copied in various places across the internet. The damages they suffer from user piracy wouldn’t be comparable to an ai running multiple games on an online platform owned by the ‘world’s most popular rpg’ not to mention that they would be charging for at least a onednd or dnd beyond or whatever they’re calling it this week, subscription.

It’s not as simple as “oh cool, more people could play”. It’s just their next attempt at eliminating the third party market.

You realize that no one complained that ai art would discourage people from drawing, right? It’s because the ai scans other artists works and designs an imitation based on its prompt. It’s stops artists from being able to profit from their work because it introduces a free alternative that stole their designs to learn.

I think the bigger concern than whether or not it’s good will be what it learned from.

I kind of expect them to fick it up so bad they sell it off and hopefully someone better acquires it then. But I doubt I’ll learn any edition past 5th. What I have right now does everything I need it to when I run a fantasy adventure

But in typical fashion, hasbro understands nothing about d&d and will probably almost destroy their property, again.

5e ended with xanathar’s guide for me. Everything I’ve found that i wanted after that was 3rd party creators on kickstarter. Hasbro just doesn’t understand the game well enough to produce its content

I mean they’ll still be relevant because we can still run 5e all tou want, but after the OGL debacle do you really believe them when they say they’ll work with the new addition?

I think this guy was just someone who’s defunct account had been hacked and used to troll. All of his comments from that day featured a ton of both sides arguments and misrepresented statistics, which to me looked like someone who was given talking points and tried to fix any conversation he could into conforming to them.

It was obviously propaganda, and I guess previously I would have thought someone who ran something ad large as reddit wouldn’t be so stupid and oblivious…but here I am on lemmy a few months later, so who knows. It’s now apparent that spez is that stupid.

I had a guy try to justify the latter type of account as “I’m just not very active on reddit”. My man, you made one post, commented on one other post a few weeks later, then complete radio silence for 9 years, just to pop up spreading anti-trans propaganda on post after post?

I’ve just been throwing breadcrumbs in front of my party for years now and taking them where ever they go. Its been so much more fun than just ‘telling my story’ for me. I would always have the start of a story I wanted to tell, but could never sort out the middle and the end, so I just let the players do it now and enjoy the show.

Good to know I’m not the only one taking advantage of cheap dice

Easily my favorite and longest played character was a goliath’ but a terribly nontraditional one.

With the whole “survival of the fittest” mentality that they have I made one of those left behind. He had fallen down the side of a mountain while training with his clan, and was left behind. He fell all the way down it though, skittering to a stop as he crashed through the roof of a barn in the halfling settlement at the base of the mountain. The halflings didn’t abandon him like his people did they cared for him and took care of him while he healed. He stayed with them embracing their much more casual lifestyle, until a mudslide washed through the town. He was the only one tall and strong enough to help save the halflings that were stranded and threatened by it. He came to the conclusion that not being the fittest among the goliaths didn’t mean he wasn’t worthy of still being a hero.

I played him as a mix of Don Quixote and The Tick. The halflings had read him all kind of hero stories about knights and honor while he was recovering from his fall. So he had adopted that code of conduct and chivalry, kept a journal detailing his heroic deeds, and never shrank away from a good cause, even if it was foolishly dangerous.

But they aren’t giving you the pdf with it either. They’re giving you access to a digitized book that they can cut off access to whenever they want to push the next edition. It’s just another example of Hasbro missing the entire point of the community’s complaint.
