Yep... Monetize is a bit of a dirty word, because associated with fleecing customers. But WoTC has a unique position to make big boy money from licensing contracts, they're just too mismanaged to consistently do that, so what happens? Fleecing customers is back on the table. Monetization always...

Akshually... they can't anymore and the barrier to entry isn't that high. What I mean is the M2TW warhammer fan mod was free, predates and eclipses official TWWH in terms of quality gameplay, or anything besides polygon count and bugs. What happened is that Creative assembly substituted their...

Tbh I have some qualms about monetizing imagination, commodification, D&D's IP dominance, & Hasbro's terrible buisness ethics etc But it's funny to play armchair economists And on a deeper level, mismanagement is bad, even if all the above are valid. For starter, jobs loss. 2000 people losing...

True but if proteins are completely incompatible, it doesn't bode well for our continued existence there. First there might not be edible food, and second abnormal proteins is the basis of prion disease... It could stand to reason that in the same way we might not be able to eliminate these...

True, but if there is anything that can affect us we would have no defense against it, so depending on how similar/dissimilar, virus/bacteria mutation rates, exposure, etc, it's not impossible either. Say the entire world is extremely humid and bacteria/fungi that's potentially toxic to us is...

I have a few questions 1-is their biology similar to our? Reason for question : high risk of diseases exchange - and if humanity is very limited + concentrated spacially, that could be the end of it. 2-can they communicate with us? Reason : if they can't, and there's a war, there's no way to end...

I don't understand why they insist on trying to make some sort of high prod hollywood style movie when they'd get 1000x more their money's worth paying north koreans to make some sort of monster of the week dungeon anime I'd watch a D&D movie by Uwe Boll tho

Extremely so. According to their own reports it made 90+ million $ for them and without it D&D would have been losing money last year. It was hugely successful as a video game, one of the year's best sellers and getting a lot of praise and awards. Historically D&D video games where hit and...

I agree. Take the video game thing. For all the talk about them getting closer to Wow on the ruleset, it's not really substantiated and it's only been on and off their radar till recently. But in truth if they actually worked on making the ruleset attractive to video game devs D&D could outsell...

On the music thing : Ottoman war music: an old song from Aquitaine : This is gold :

Some thoughts Either keep it pure RP or idk some sort of standing mechanics going from -5 to +5 (or whatever) to diplomacy? Or you could be really thorough and have standing be more like a status effect. -5 to +5 scale? I feel like it'd be interesting to have preset enmities such that raising...

All the other platforms are shit PUB FOR THE WIN!!!! I disagree with everyone about everything all the time but I am leveling up my game design every month I spend here. So much better than reddit and twitter and all the other RPG forums! URDLEN SEAL OF SUPERIOR QUALITY I RATE THIS FORUM 6...

Not exactly Skynet but Palantir technologies is advertising research in military "AI machine learning" applications, including target identification. I still don't think actual AI like in sci-fi is possible (at least not in the near future), but ASFAIK machine learning has real...

I don't mind long or short games. Torment is 20 to 40 h if you're not too lost and it's excellent. Fear and hunger is 12 h if you know what you do (according to the internet) in general the I think it's probably better to shoot for 20-50 h if the story is the main attraction just because it's...

I'd like to reiterate that I am merely responding to extraordinary claims about professional efficiency and the creative process and saying they require extraordinary evidence, which is not there. Many scams rely on having good rapport with low level users, which then will do PR for them...

I'd rather give them their own cultures based on how they are and what they do, though if there's a similarity in lifestyle to real cultures then I can draw from it slightly. Eg I have elves that chose a nomadic lifestyle, so necessarily there's some similarities with some nomadic people...

Yes frauds destroy economies and bring nothing of value. That's not really quantum science :clown:

The whole data scraping included taking the users of art sites by surprise with TOS changes to take their stuff, and only afterward "opt out" mechanisms where put in place. It was and still is completely dishonnest, and that how supposedly the tech makes "advances". The initial thrust of artist...

Phones are kinda scammy tbh Not saying the telephone technology is fake, but yeah... there are serious ethical problems regarding how they are produced and how they abuse consummer privacy while being increasingly unavoidable. Including, like AI, third world exploitation and scummy TOS...
