OK, that's a bit over the top, but the GM/DM-Player interaction, that is, the people at the table interacting, is the core of the TTRPG.Ĭharges of "they are making this too video gamey" are at this point valid, given that they are not hiding their intent. Semi Rant: Hasbro hates people, except as sources of money. If that's what I wanted - AI generated game mechanics - I'd be playing a game like Diablo IV.

The partnership also lets Hasbro study Xplored’s technology, particularly when it comes to Teburu: last year, a virtual tabletop solution for D&D was revealed.

Hasbro’s gaming senior VP Adam Biehl said its partnership with Xplored would allow the company to “deliver innovative gameplay to our players and fans, limitless digital expansions to physical games, seamless onboarding, and powerful AI-driven game mechanics.” When asked by GamesRadar for more information, Biehl said AI would be used to generate experiences that could react to player decisions right away and potentially streamline rules to make it easier on newer players.
