    Anyone who thinks this is a “maybe” isn’t paying attention. For the record, this is going to suck such massive donkey balls.

    Don’t forget: from the people who literally thought 4E was the low-effort key to even more profit: bringing WoW to TTRPG format. What’s not to like? 🤦🏼‍♂️🤢

      its certainly not going to be good. Having used AI in various way to augment my campaign, it is POSSIBLE to be used well, but Hasbro has given zero reason to believe they can do it

    Everyone who’s into AI and TTRPGs has been eyeing AI for literally DECADES.

    There’s massive potential, but it’s going to be really hard to do it so. WOTC/HASBRO is very poorly positioned to do so.

    If they are smart they just hoard cash and buy up the first decent start up.

    Man, AI was gonna be so cool. Instead every company is using it to make everything worse. I hate the future that corporatism has brought us.

    Here’s an idea. Let’s replace the DM with a computer to lead the module and make other decisions. While we are at it, we can digitize the module and program it directly into the DM. The module and the DM can be combined with a digital display so that there is no need for dry erase markers or theater of mind. Finally, to save time, we can automate the dice rolls with random number generators run directly by the DM/module computer program.

    Think about that! Your favorite role playing games, fully integrated into a computer! The future of gaming.
