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?
I played with a DM who only used them in elvish cities, no one else would trade in them. That is now in my world too.
Smug elves and their special currency.
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.
So I think I'm looking for an TTRPG system that would essentially run a soap opera. Rules light is a plus, really something from the old "one-page rpgs" would probably be perfect. I want to focus on the narrative part and have a simple resolution mechanic that's favors social encounters because combat isn't part of the game.
If you guys were about to run a soap opera game, what would you reach for?
Where do I fall if I kill them all, turn then into vampires and send them on a quest to uncurse themselves before they level and become vampires forever?
As requested, we have an old lighthouse by a cliffshore, inhabited by two masonic gargoyles who seem to be working on something....big.
I wanted to link the different floors of the light house together rather than just having three circles arranged and labeled. Overall I'm pretty into it. I hope you guys like it too.
So this is a set of maps I made for my party's adventures on a small island nation, nestled on top of a dormant volcano
The furthest out map shows the island's nearest neighbors, the supposedly uninhabited Burning Keyes, which are still active volcanoes.
The second map shows the largest of the cities/communities on the island.
The third is a close up of a trek they had to make through the central part of the island in search of a secret entrance to a lost temple.
Ask me anything about the islands and I'll give you the lore. Ask me something I don't know yet and I'll make it up. Anybody that wants to use these can, and is free to gleam lore out of the comments if they want.
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.
Hey guys, I'm looking to get some practice in this week and would like to help out the community in the process. Reply with a battlemap you need, I guess regional maps would be ok, but I want to keep them to small enough areas that the details will still be useful. I do like playing with the lighting, so I will likely include that in most of them. Obviously if this gets super popular I won't get to every request, but I'll prioritize based on upvotes and my interest in the request.
What do I need from you?
- Dimensions, how big is this map?
- Setting, is it in a building, a mine, and big open field?
- What are you using it for? This one is a little more abstract, but if I understand why your party is here I can try to make the map work better for your purpose.
- What NEEDS to be there? Tell me what you want to see on the map. Is there a campfire in the northwest corner? How about a statue on the west wall to hide a secret passage? Corpses littering g the floor? Or rotten vegetables left out on the kitchen counter?
The more you tell me about the last two questions, the better I can do for you. I'll post all of the completed maps here and on the battlemaps community associated here. My plan was to post them to lemmy with a back up on imgur linked to both gridded and non gridded versions.
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?
