Don’t worry. It sounds like WotC is planning to fix the issue with not enough people wanting to DM their jank by implementing AI DMs in their new VTT.
They did say before that no one at Wizards was working on AI DMs, but it’s all but officially confirmed Hasbro had a 3rd party working on it for them. That’s why you gotta keep your eye out for those little loopholes. 😲
Yeah, I remember that. Along with the focus on digital tools, all I can think is, That’s a video game. You’re designing a video game. Those already exist. That is not what your flagship product is.

But the reason tabletop D&D and other RPGs haven’t been supplanted by video games isn’t because the technology wasn’t there yet, but because they do a different thing entirely. If they made Digital D&D, and even if it turned out amazing, it would be a completely distinct type of game, not a new edition of D&D.

Well, at least they promised that rumors of a planned $30 subscription fee weren’t true.
