I was not able to make it to Unreal Fest Stockholm, but thanks to @flassari.bsky.social I still ended up on stage!
You can find me at 1:50:46 in the video, when I show the Unreal asset browser feature to rotate thumbnails of 3D assets.

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

Cronenberg's body horror schtick is softening in his old age
I was asking this very question yesterday and, well, I’m not surprised by Shannon’s answer here
The question is: have d20 conversions done harm to a game line or publisher. (Thanks @chrishanrahan.bsky.social for the pointer.)
Yeah, I think so. I think they've done damage to the original lines, which wasn't repairable when d20 died out. And I think they've done brand damage.

A serious question: In the ~25 years that people/publishers have been converting their RPGs to be d20 system/5e-based, what examples are there of the conversion doing serious harm to the game line/publisher as a whole?

T20 Vargr is the goodest boy ever. 1000000/10!
Ok, so the Traveller 5e news is… well it’s whatever. Not really worth getting too exercised about I’d say about BUT thanks to looking up previous d20 iterations of Traveller my life has been #blessed to discover what may be hands down the single greatest piece of RPG art I’ve ever seen.
