To think, if we had AI 20 years ago we wouldn’t need Sam Altman.

Is long backgrounds still a thing? I feel like I haven’t seen one in two decades.

Seems like the same logic of stricter punishment will reduce crime.

I was disappointed. It plays fairly narratively until you hit combat then it is more like D&D complete with a d20. Funny enough it has damage thresholds that feel like they were pulled straight from Silhouette.

Yeah. I figured it was something like that.

Apparently I was in over my head trying to run Pendragon. It has been a while since I’ve had such difficulty running a game with no idea what I would do differently if I was to run it again. Maybe get a degree in Arthurian Lit.

Exactly. That is why I’d like to see the these professional groups work with local communities. I’ve seen some communities become defensive or protective. Like these are our members don’t steal them.

Another group I watch is socaldnd who put on payed events to teach D&D at breweries. I’ve wondered if there is any follow up or do they leave those players with no way to find a group.

There should be more crossover. The con did have four tables of D&D going and probably could have had more. I’m sure people who watched people play were given the opportunity to play they would take it.
