DnD 5th Edition Reviews

This set of DnD 5th Edition reviews is part of my “Best Tabletop RPGs of All Time” article. If you want to check out more TTRPGs and see how other top-tier tabletop RPGs are ranked, visit that page.

My Review – 95 / 100

Dungeons and Dragons gets a shorter review than many of the games in the list of best tabletop RPGs of all time in part because DnD is by far the best. Dungeons and Dragons is the definition and standard for all other tabletop RPGs. That’s all there is to it.

Even the things that aren’t perfect about the game are still far superior to most every other game out there. And though DnD isn’t the absolute best game out there in every category, they are the best, overall.

Dungeons and Dragons isn’t a perfect game, but it’s pretty close. As close, in fact, as a TTRPG can be in today’s world. Even though I have my own TTRPG (Eternity TTRPG), I still have to say that overall, Dungeons and Dragons is better.

DnD has been around longer than any modern RPG, it’s the most popular tabletop RPG in the world, the artwork’s incredible, the game has countless thousands of playtest hours, some of the most creative game designers in the world work for Wizards of the Coast, etc. There's even an entire genre of products out there specifically labelled as DnD gifts. Dungeons and Dragons is just that huge.

I haven’t met many people who don’t like DnD. There is some hype around the game, and it certainly benefits from brand name recognition. But there’s a reason that it’s the most played RPG out there. If you’re new to tabletop gaming, or just want one gamer’s honest DnD 5th edition reviews, you’ve come to the right place.

If you’re someone who doesn’t love DnD, head back to the “Best Tabletop RPGs of All Time” article There are plenty of great tabletop games out there that play very differently than DnD.

How Unique is DnD 5th Edition: (10/10)

DnD may not seem like a very unique game when compared to other tabletop or video game RPGs but that’s only because they created the gaming systems upon which almost every TTRPG and video game RPG is built.

Trust me, DnD is unique. That’s why it’s still around. Just look at 90% of the other TTRPGs on the market today. They all emulate Dungeons and Dragons in one way or another. It’s realistic to say that other tabletop RPGs are “like DnD but with a twist.” If anything, other games are less unique because they almost always use at least one major section of ideas from DnD.

How Easy is it to Learn DnD 5th Edition: (10/10)

DnD isn’t the easiest tabletop RPG to learn. But this is also where momentum comes in. There are so many people playing DnD on a regular basis that if you’re new to the game all you have to do is ask someone at your gaming table what to do in any given scenario, and someone will know the answer. You basically don’t even need to learn the game in order to play, so long as you have people to play with.

There are also so many cool things to learn and do in DnD that chances are high you’ll find something in the game that you really love in the game, you’ll get sucked in, and then you’ll end up studying on your own anyways so that you can do even more of what you love.

After a little while of study, you’ll thereby become another asset to your entire gaming group for bits of knowledge from which other new people can learn.

5th Edition Presentation: (10/10)

DnD sets the standard for tabletop RPG rulebook presentation and organization. The books are easy to read, engaging, and to-the-point. Wizards of the Coast presents top-notch writing, editing, graphic design, and placement of all gaming and instructional material.

The DnD 5th edition core rulebooks are indeed their own form of artwork.

If you aren’t familiar yet, by the way, you soon will be. DnD basically coined the term “d20,” which refers to a 20-sided dice. Having a full array of gaming dice is basically part of the fundamental DnD presentation. If you need dice, check out my article on the Best D&D Dice out there.

DnD Lore: (10/10)

DnD has tons of lore. Expansions on core rulebooks, supplemental material, pre-made adventures, entire pre-made RPG campaigns, endless numbers of novels, videos, podcasts, video games, websites, maps, and entire books of lore. Really, there’s more lore to the various campaign worlds of DnD than you could probably ever play through.

Every campaign world in DnD has an immersive setting. Every town, NPC, magic item, and villain is available for you so that you don’t have to create your own stories if you don’t want to. Or alternatively, you can use existing lore as a foundation upon which to build your own gaming world.

Combat in DnD 5th Edition: (7/10)

Combat is one of the areas of DnD 5th edition that I don’t love. To be honest, I’ve never really loved DnD combat in any edition, and I do think there are other games out there that have better combat systems.

5th Edition is similar to 3.5 edition (yes, 3.5 edition). 4th Edition tried emulating video game combat, but I think did so pretty poorly. Where the game lies now is probably the best that combat in DnD has ever been. It’s just that DnD combat is not all that exciting to me, and it still feels like it lacks depth.

When I say that combat lacks depth, what I mean is that even with 5th edition, there’s a lot of “roll to hit,” then “roll for damage” going on. I wouldn’t consider a straightforward attack action on every turn a very tactical or in-depth game.

Also, not all classes are equal in combat, and there aren’t always a lot of unique things to do in combat too, depending on which class you play. I think that’s a bummer. Designers have gone a long way towards improving this problem, but it’s still true that wizards kill everything at high levels of play, and wizards have 10x more options than other classes (because of all their spells). Other classes make up for that with skill points and such, but to me that still doesn’t quite cut it.

Most classes do have unique attacks, powers, or spells. But if we’re comparing their repertoire to something like the attacks, powers, and spells available to classes in World of Warcraft or other top-tier video game RPGs, the classes in DnD are boring by comparison.

If you’re very creative as a player, you can always make up unique actions for your character to perform. But the game itself doesn’t provide a lot of interesting things to do beyond just attacking.

I do really like the advantage/ disadvantage mechanic in DnD 5th edition. It’s a nice improvement over previous editions that adds new dynamics to combat.

I will admit that I also love making full attack actions and rolling multiple attacks in a single round, spilling dice all over the table. At the end of the day though, DnD combat can become a grind. I attack the enemy. Enemy attacks me. My turn? Ok, I attack the enemy again… I simply wouldn’t want to do an entire gaming session in DnD that’s based on combat.

This isn’t a new critique – people have been saying it for years. Don’t get me wrong – there’s certainly drama combat in DnD, especially with a great dungeon master. But I just feel that battles in DnD lack something that keeps combat feeling fresh and engaging.

Game “Flow”: (10/10)

You don’t even need a great dungeon master for DnD to be a great game, and to get into the “flow” of the game. Even a totally new group can still have fun gaming.

For comparison, many TTRPGs do not have the same level of strength in this area. Many games have (overly-detailed) rules which can easily slow down the game. Many games are also heavily reliant upon the dungeon master (or game master) to keep the story running.

Granted, DnD groups do benefit from having a great dungeon master. It’s just that even new dungeon masters can make terrific games for their players because DnD is such a solid game system.

Also, there are plenty of great dungeon master tools for DnD available to help anyone who wishes to grow their skills as a dungeon master.

DnD Artwork: (10/10)

Dungeons and Dragons has amazing artwork. I love the artwork in DnD. They set the standard for all other TTRPG artwork. If for any reason, you’re not familiar with the quality of artwork DnD provides, just check it out on any search engine.

The other great thing is that DnD has phenomenal artwork in everything they produce, from core rulebooks to supplemental material. Literally, the best artists in the gaming industry regularly complete work for Dungeons and Dragons.

Ease of Purchase: (10/10)

The Wizards of the Coast website looks great and is easy to navigate. Also, all DnD books are easily found on Amazon. Even if you know nothing about DnD (including what books to purchase) you can find that information without hardly any effort.

By the way, if you don’t know what to purchase, here you go:

Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition Player’s Handbook (ideally, every player at the gaming table should have one)
Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition Monster Manual (at least one person at the gaming table should have one)
Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition Dungeon Master’s Guide (whoever is going to “lead” the gaming group should have one)

Also, if you’ve never used one, a DnD campaign planner can be a big help for any Dungeons and Dragons enthusiast.

Note that it’s also possible to play single player DnD if you have all of the core rulebooks.

Price & How Many Books Do You Need to Play: (8/10)

This is another downside of DnD. I will say though that it is in fact a small downside.

You’re looking at $150 for hardcover copies of the Player’s Handbook, the Dungeon Master’s Guide, and the Monster Manual – all of which you need to play DnD. Wizards of the Coast for sure knows how to monetize their products.

The thing is though, the artwork, production value, game system, and legacy of Dungeons and Dragons are so great that the price they charge is perfectly reasonable.

The reason that the price really isn’t so bad, too, is that players can also share the cost of the DnD core rulebooks, if it’s a bit expensive for anyone at the table.

If you have a 5-person group, you’re looking at $30 each. It’s not the cheapest tabletop RPG on the market. But I do believe DnD delivers value for its price. And even at $150, DnD is still a hobby far less expensive than many.

Fame & Availability of Supplemental Material for DnD 5th Edition: (10/10)

No TTRPG is more famous than DnD, and no other game has as much supplemental material for literally endless gaming. You can find a DnD setting for virtually any kind of gaming experience you’d like.

There are official settings made by Wizards of the Coast, independent settings produced by a host of game designers and writers, and unofficial settings all over the internet that would be honored if you used their material.

Speaking of, check out my article on DnD quest ideas.

The bottom line is that you aren’t played Dungeons and Dragons on a regular basis, but you’d like to, you’ll have no problem at all finding a regular gaming group for an ongoing RPG campaign.

Dear reader, I hope you enjoyed my article. Tabletop gaming has been a passion of mine since I was 6 years old. I've played just about every game from Dungeons and Dragons to video games like Final Fantasy. These games have inspired me, made me laugh, made me cry, and brought me endless hours of enjoyment.

I started Eternity TTRPG - and the indie tabletop game that goes along with it (Eternity Shop) - to share my love of gaming with others. I believe that in our technology-driven age, tabletop games help bring a sense of magic and community back into our world.

If you love the site, please share it with others! I have lots of gaming-related material for you to peruse and use in your own gaming sessions. If you have any questions about the site or want to contribute, just send me a message using the "Contact" page, which you can find in the site's footer.

D&D Started it, but Where does Table Top RPGs go from here?

August 28, 2026

Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t2a-i3pyRk Transcription [00:00:00] Welcome back to the Eternity TTRPG channel, where I discuss different happenings in the tabletop role-playing universe, as well as talk about the game that my husband and I are actively creating. So one thing I wanna talk about this go around is a bit of the origin story of tabletop, um, as well as where it could be going and what's different about it and all those kind of things, right? So to start this off, when To start this off, I always thought of D&D as just D&D, right? D&D is [00:01:00] the premise of all tabletop role-playing. It's the genre itself. It's what I use to define the genre, is D&D. Because I think it was the first thing, right? It was the first thing where you could sit at a table with this book and go through a campaign and a dungeon and play this way. And then other creators said, "Hey, what if we take this thing that was created, and let's try it this way and go through this dungeon instead and this dungeon instead? And what if we add, you know, other universes now, like Star Wars and Avatar: The Last Airbender, and explore those worlds?" And the way that I look at it is that D&D was a way for people to come together and this singular person to lead you through their imagination, right? And now we come into today's day and age, and everybody has a lot of different ideas and imagination [00:02:00] going on. And with that, you have all of these different tabletop role-playing systems coming out and all these different campaigns coming out. But what are we trying to do, I guess? And how does D&D today translate to all of this? So the way that I'm starting to look at it is that these other systems could have just been, you know, the group of friends in the basement that was like, "Hey, I wanna try it this way." And it caught on and they're like, "Hey, my friend's like this. Let's make this an actual thing." And here comes all of these other role-playing games now. And the thing that we hear so much when I hear people talk about their other tabletop role-playing game is, "Oh, well, it's different than D&D. Oh, it does this that's [00:03:00] better. Oh, this is, you know, an easier system." And, you know, that's great and all, but the second you say tabletop role-playing or you say the words D&D, I just think D&D because D&D is the foundation of this entire genre, and it's going to continue to be, even with all of these different tabletops coming in and trying to change the system and all these different things. So when I realize this and everything, and I start to think about the game that my husband has been working on for 30 years and started in a basement, right, with a group of friends, um, I start to think, well, what makes it different? And the thing is we tend to use different in a way to make it seem better than what's already out there, right? And I don't think that's what [00:04:00] we're trying to do, but it's how it comes across in normal society. So with that being said, right- Just because we're different, it doesn't, you know, make us better. It just gives us other options in life. So the thing that I'm seeing the most when people say things are different is you're just getting a different campaign style. You're just getting a different, you know, way to play the game, perhaps a better entry point into tabletop role-playing. And I think in the end, all that we're trying to do is grow a community, right? You're trying to get to be more than just, you know, those 30, 40, 50-year-olds that were growing up playing it in their basement, and you're trying to get the younger generations to continue it. And I will say Stranger Things did help with that. Thank you, Stranger Things, for, you know, bringing it to light a little bit [00:05:00] more. But this thing with imagination is starting to gain so much popularity because we're starting to see so much more of the world, right? So I feel like I'm on a soapbox with this whole news channel because it is just my thoughts right now with this video. But let's just think about this for a second. We really hit... Actually, let's go back When we were in, you know, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, '80s, '90s, we were using libraries and books, encyclopedias, and it was, you know, kind of difficult to travel the world and have the money to do that, and you didn't always know what you were getting into. And it's like the world itself that we lived in held so much imagination [00:06:00] that we didn't know what to do with it, and we were able to go and do these things and strive for these things and just let it all explode and experience it realistically. Now, you hit the 2000s, the '10s, the '20s, and we had technology hit. We had social media hit. And we had access to these places just expand, and now we have everything that we want in this world in the palm of our hand, you know, in front of our faces. We can see it. We can hear it. The only thing we can't do is tangibly touch it unless we actually go there. But with this greater access and faster time to this greater access, w- I feel like our imagination has gone [00:07:00] down. So now, here's where we come into tabletop role-playing and why this connects, right? So we have this big push for tabletop role-playing, other systems, the original D&D system, because that's all the imagination we really have left. Now, I know that's a big statement, and you can rip me apart for that later. But take a moment and think about that. We have everything we could ever want in the palm of our hands except for this world that we can create and never actually see. And now, this is where imagination is coming back, the tabletop role-playing is coming back, because we've already encountered everything else. So now we have to make up these [00:08:00] stories in our heads to create a boost in our brains to just get something else that our phones and our computers and our technology can't give us And that is a lot to take in and think about So with that happening, I know that was a bit of a long soapbox, but with all that happening, we have these people once again that are trying to share their imagination, but they want to be different than the original D&D. But different isn't bad and options aren't bad. So with that in mind, I challenge you to go try a different RPG than you are used to. Get out of [00:09:00] your comfort zone and just give it a try. Because with the world being in the palm of our hands, we have to be exploring different worlds. We have to try these different things because that is the only way that I think we have left to grow. So I know that is some interesting thoughts and I don't know if I'll ever actually post this video, but if I do, comment, like, subscribe, give me your thoughts below and we'll catch y'all next time.

The Creepy Side of Crooked Moon: Silkborn & Threadborn

August 23, 2026

Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-H39bG14JM Transcription [00:00:00] Welcome back to the Eternity TTRPG channel, where I talk about different tabletop role-playing things in the universe, as well as the TTRPG that my husband and I are making and releasing products for. So this time, I want to continue, uh, the Crooked Moon series, talking about the different races, and I'm gonna cover two more. So this go around, I want to talk about two characters that are a bit creepier than what they usually look like or what you expect, right? Um, so the first one I'm gonna go on about is the Silkborn race. So the Silkborn, if you don't like spiders, is immediately creepy. However, um, the lore behind them is what makes me stop and think, "Are they really that creepy?" Okay, so the idea of the Silkborn in Crooked Moon is that they have a whole [00:01:00] underground cave system covered in webs, gemstones everywhere, and they harness their power from these gemstones, which I think is actually a really cool idea, 'cause you get to take this, you know, thing that is, in my opinion, kind of creepy and turn it into something beautiful. I think about, like, g- going on walks and seeing spiderwebs out on my walk, and I'm like, "Wow, the architecture of that is really cool." But imagining it in a cave system, it becomes just another world, right? So with that, I think when you would build a Silkborn race character, you'd really lean into their idea of what's beautiful, what's not, and how would that structure society around them, right? What would they worship? How would their family dynamic be? Because this idea of [00:02:00] this character is that they would just emerge from a cocoon, a web cocoon of sorts, right? And then they emerge, and here is this city built of just webs that is creating these nets going back and forth and these glowing crystals. And then you start to wonder, well, where would their social hierarchy be maybe, right? Is it based on the size of the spider or perhaps the color of the spider? Or if the spider has X number of gemstones or X number of eyes, how do they compare in the world to others? So then we start to wonder about different character concepts that you could go on with these, right? So let's say you have this spider race, the Silkborn, join your D&D party, and they are an architect in their normal underground city, and they come to a human city, and [00:03:00] they're just bored at looking at it, and it feels very sterile, and there's not much natural beauty. Could that be a storyline, right? Or could we talk about maybe the gems and why they're so important to their race, and perhaps the spider is just wanting to collect gemstones, um, to better harness them, right? And then the other perspective you could take is that the spider Silkborn is an alien of some kind, right? So they could be, of course, the we don't know if we want to accept them into our party, but they have this information. Maybe they aren't so evil, so let's try and, you know, use them or accept them and how does that go, right? So the Silkborn is definitely a very interesting idea on a race that I don't think we've seen before and some people could find [00:04:00] very interesting Real quick to interrupt. Eternity TTRPG is releasing a card game battler which emulates combat from the D&D tabletop role-playing genre. Sparks of Eternity: Emanation is fast-paced, easy to learn, and features six classes from your favorite TTRPGs. Each class deck comes with its own set of unique abilities, which everyone plays at the same time, so there's never any downtime at your table. Each turn, everyone's characters levels up, giving players access to even more options. If you're interested in taking a look, we have our pre-sales page live now, packed with details. No payment info needed. Just let us know if you want an email when the product becomes available. Now, back to your video Switching gears, um, I'm gonna talk about the second race that I found, which is definitely a play on cute and creepy. Um , and that would be the threadborn. [00:05:00] So the threadborn, in what I'm finding, is this doll that is created, and they come to life. So I start to think of the classic Pinocchio, "I'm a real boy," and stuff like that, right? Because all Pinocchio wanted was to be a real boy and be living and, you know, work in the workshop and explore the world and all these different things and whatnot. So with that in mind, with the idea of the threadborn, I start to think of, of course, who created them and what are they gonna be like in this world now that they're created? Right? So this gives you a couple of different ideas for character concepts and where to go. The first one being, um, that, of course, as I mentioned, they're made not born. So what happens when the doll that's made outlives its creator? And [00:06:00] are they going to become super heartbroken and always on the search for this family that they lost? Um, and this could go into a whole thing of like, how long do threadborns actually live, and do they decompose after time? Because, you know, I think everything decomposes eventually, even if we don't expect it to. Um, so there's definitely that side of it, and do they meet younger generations of their creator, right, and make that their family? Um, another idea is that they're very helpful because if you're creating something like a doll, you're creating it for companionship, right? You're creating it to help you feel better about the world around you, that companionship, and with that companionship does come helpfulness. And perhaps the character concept is that they're too helpful. They're too willing to jump in. They're just [00:07:00] gonna go straight into battle without thinking because they know that's the thing that needs done. That's where we have to go. So that's definitely another side of it, the too helpful side. And then the other thing is that to some people, and I start to think of when I was younger, and every birthday up until I was eight, my grandmother got me a certain doll, and the doll was like a part of a set, and it was those porcelain dolls with the eyes that I swear would follow me, right? And I had a shelf of them to display them because that's what my parents wanted. I could not wait to take those things down because when you have those eyes following you in the dark, it's actually pretty creepy. Um, but that's the thing is dolls wouldn't know that they're creepy. They're just happy, smiling, eyes always open, watching you, and it becomes a whole question of this is normal for [00:08:00] them, but how does this translate to normal society? And it sounds like a bit of a nightmare to me, no matter how cute they are. So with that being said, I'm gonna wrap this up here. And what do you think? Would you rather play a spider or play a doll? And what kind of character concept would you go with? As always, like, comment, subscribe, and we will catch y'all next time. Thanks

The Rise of Solo RPGs

August 17, 2026

Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KgB5C6Wgng Transcription [00:00:00] Welcome back to the Eternity TTRPG YouTube channel, where I discuss, uh, different happenings in the tabletop role-playing universe, as well as talk about the game that my husband and I have been creating now. So this go around, um, I wanted to talk more about a new side of the tabletop role-playing community that is gaining traction, I think. Um, Gen Con did something a little different this year that I haven't talked about yet, and I think it's important to bring light to it and bring it up in conversation, you know? So I already covered that D&D itself is going to universes beyond, you know, going into World of Warcraft, Star Wars, all those different kind of things. Um, and that's great for D&D, but I also think they're gonna push a new direction given what Gen Con did, right? So at Gen Con, there is an award [00:01:00] ceremony, right, called the Ennie Awards, The Ennie Awards are where the industry itself picks X number of games for a category, and then fans get to vote on it, and the fans get to decide what's gonna be the most popular and when, right? So it's kind of a big deal for Gen Con to be doing this every year, and they have their usual categories, right? They added a new category this year, and they've been talking about adding this category for years, but I guess it didn't have enough traction until now. The new category was for Best Solo RPG. And immediately my mind goes to, "Wait, why do we need solo RPGs?" And, you know, now we bring up the whole conversation of, oh my gosh, a solo RPG. Um, this could be here because, you know, adults can never get together with a busy work schedule and trying to nail down consistent timing because something [00:02:00] always comes up between work, home, um, kids, you know, just random family emergencies. There's always something keeping you from the game table, so you can't get with your normal group to run a campaign. So solo RPGs. Real quick to interrupt. Eternity TTRPG is releasing a card game battler which emulates combat from the D&D tabletop role-playing genre. Sparks of Eternity: Emanation is fast-paced, easy to learn, and features six classes from your favorite TTRPGs. Each class deck comes with its own set of unique abilities, which everyone plays at the same time, so there's never any downtime at your table. Each turn, everyone's characters levels up, giving players access to even more options. If you're interested in taking a look, we have our pre-sales page live now, packed with details. No payment info needed. Just let us know if you want an email when the product becomes available. Now, back to your [00:03:00] video So with this, um, announcement at Gen Con of having this category, there was five games that the industry decided would be in this, um, collection that fans could vote off of. Um, Odyssey of the Giant was the first one, and it's about escorting a giant, the last giant, across a devastated fantasy world. And then there was Pirouette, which is a solo horror ballet. Um, Song of the Scriptworm is a mystery involving an infinite library. Spine is an experimental RPG about losing yourself in a book. And then finally, The Bonsai Diary is about growing a bonsai tree across different generations. Um, just so you know, Spine took first, and The Bonsai Diary took second, so we officially have winners for the first solo RPG, um, nominations at the Ennie Awards. And I kind of don't know where to go from there. [00:04:00] I mean, I'm gonna admit when I don't wanna play the game that my husband has created and he can't get friends over, he does do solo campaigns. And he has been making the game to where you can do it as a single player or with a campaign group, um, which I think is a great idea, but I guess I just didn't see it as necessary. Um, but apparently it is, because people still want to play the game, but they don't necessarily have access to the friend group that you wish you had. Um, so here we go into our fantasy world after a long day at work, and instead of diving into a virtual video game, you can now do it with a tabletop role-playing game. So now the question lies with having this been created and you have all these smaller creators, you know, taking over this category. And not only that, but at Gen Con you actually have rooms dedicated to solo role-playing [00:05:00] games now. But is the giant communities of like Pathfinder and Wizards of the Coast gonna try and create a product that's gonna be a solo RPG now, um, instead of their usual geared towards groups and everything? So that's definitely a question that comes up in my mind is how are they going to... It's not a combat thing, but how are they going to continue to be in this world, I guess, if we're shifting towards solo RPGs. One thing that was announced, um, by a bigger creator was that Fallout is now coming out with a solo RPG, um, called The Wasteland Wanderer, and it is a standalone game. You create your vault dweller, you create your vault, and you get to explore the wasteland, and it is specifically created for solo RPG. So we already have these bigger companies that are creating, um, these solo games [00:06:00] now. Obviously, it's not the biggest company with Wizards of the Coast or Pathfinder, but we're getting there. So now not only do we have these companies creating these solo RPGs, everyone trying to get in on that, but we also have, you know, the electronic world trying to get on, in on this, and that's where we come into AI-powered systems. And I know that AI is such a curse word in the tabletop role-playing community because, you know, when we think AI in the tabletop role-playing community, it's gonna be your AI art, and, you know, that's such a bad thing. And I agree, I really wanna see, um, real artists, real creators, um, but when you're looking at wanting to have an electronic, like, world, I guess, where it's created by something electronic because you don't have friends to talk to or a campaign to really go at with friends, then maybe having ChatGPT do it for [00:07:00] you isn't a bad idea, right? 'Cause you have someone that can bounce ideas off of, and you can have someone else create them. Because although imagination is limitless, maybe in those moments you don't have enough. So with that in mind, there are AI-powered systems that have already been created. Um, Wonderhold is the one that comes to mind, and it launched in May of this year. And it, of course, you know, creates the campaign for you. You get to type to it, talk to it, and figure out where you're going to go with your campaign. So where do we go from here? Do we need game masters, game designers when we're using AI, when we're going the solo route, when friend groups can't get together because of life? So with all of that in mind, let me know what you think, from the Ennie Awards to checking out these solo RPGs, um, to figuring out what's next. Comment, like, subscribe, let me know. Have a good [00:08:00] one.
