I don't get why cons for readers & writers give air to genAI; platforming its 'benefits' or 'showing both sides'. That's mainstream chat; not discussion for creatives & attendees come to see them. Treat genAI like the environmentally destructive inaccurate plagiarism machine we creatives know it is.

Congratulations to @chrisperkinsdnd.bsky.social on his retirement. His innumerable contributions to #DnD, especially #DnD5e, are in great part responsible for my deeper re-immersion in the game I've loved since the 1980s. The revised rules are amazing—a high note indeed for him to go out on!

Today I retire from Wizards of the Coast after 28 years. With D&D’s 50th anniversary wrapping up and the revised rulebooks doing gangbusters, this is the perfect fairytale ending for me. I can’t wait to enjoy D&D purely as a fan again, knowing the game is in good hands. See you in the Feywild!
