How is this different from the Acheron Games 3rd party game of Inferno: Dante's Guide to Hell for 5e? Honestly curious what this one does majorly different.

Completely different books and approaches. They have nothing in common except being inspired by Divine Comedy.

There was some discussion under the Dante's Player's Handbook about how much of this is created by artificial intelligence. The authors admit that their art is AI. However, despite churning out 16 products totaling more than 1500 pages in 2 months they claim that everything is hand-written, play-tested, balanced, etc. In the discussion the authors say that this material is part of their home campaigns and that they have spent "all these years" this and then suddenly and inexplicably decided to publish it all within the last two months. Im going to respond here since the discussion is relevant to all of their work and this is their most recent product.

I find the authors claim unbelievable for the following reasons:

1) The genres are a complete mishmash. I find it hard to believe that rather than playing a traditional or generic 5e campaign they have instead done a super hero campaign, a science fiction campaign, a greek mythology campaign, a world of warcraft campaign,...See more and a Dante's Inferno campaign (pretty freaking random). What seems more plausible is that they asked ChatGPT (or equivalent) to write up stuff for the genres that they could generate the most usuable AI art for.

2) Im going to imagine if you are reading this you have likely DM'd. Do you really have 1500+ pages of publishable material sitting around. If so wouldnt the majority of it be an actual adventure, rather than stat blocks for a "science fiction pantheon" or dozens of detailed classes/subclasses. In fact the one adventure that the authors have published appears to be in a jungle setting and has no relationship to any of the other material.

3) It seems unlikely that the authors patiently waited until they had 16 largely unrelated products finished before publishing any of them. It shows an extreme amount of patience to refrain from publishing their first 10ish books followed by an extreme amount of "impatience" to suddenly blast out 1500 pages of material in a 2 month time frame.

4) In the Sci Fi Pantheon it is mentioned in the discussion that their material has been fed through multiple applications that detect ChatGPT writing and that it showed that it was extremely likely to have been written by ChaptGPT.

5) In the Mythic Heroes discussion there seems to be a comment mentioning "water, earth, and air damage". This seems like the kind of error that ChatGPT might make but not a human (At least one who had previously published 100+ stat blocks).

6) In the Dante's Player's Handbook there is discussion about everything being poorly balanced. (Not necessarily an AI comment but a quality comment).

7) The Explorer's Guide is 419! pages of generic fantasy locations. This seems exactly like the kind of thing you would use ChatGPT to put together.

An example encounter is a Quicksand Trap, "The party comes across a patch of quicksand that sucks them in if they step in it. They must use their wits to escape before they've buried alive."

If this was from an actual home brew game wouldnt there be at least SOME mechanics regarding it?

An example treasure is the Windblade, "This ancient sword was crafted from the bones of a wind elemental and glows with an otherwordly light. It grants its wielder incredible speed and agility, allowing them to move like the wind itself."

Again, if this was from an actual game/campaign wouldnt there be some mechanics? What does incredible speed and agility mean? What does moving like the wind mean? (And do wind elementals have bones?)

You're really telling me this stuff wasn't written by AI?

Hey Scott! Glad to hear from you again :)
We'll try to explain once more (even if there is no point to do so cause you've already made your conclusions and that's ok).

1) Our business plan and the decision to delay the publication of our titles are entirely our own, and there are marketing reasons behind it. No further explanation is needed.

2) The payment to our employees and our money management are also our business affairs.

3) There was no "water, earth and air damage" phrase in our book. We didn't mentioned ANY damage type for those elements on a racial ability (by accident). We clarified this on an update to that title.

4) Regarding the comment about balancing in our "Dante's Guide to Hell: Player's Handbook" title, we believe the ability is perfectly balanced for its level (20). As we mentioned in our response, the damage is dealt once per round, not per attack as incorrectly stated in the comment.

5) Our "Explorer's...See more

Scott is completely right lmao. Your text registers as AI written on almost every detector. It's not that hard to tell yourself either. AI writes with very low variety in sentence length and with very low sentence complexity. Humans almost always write by switching between shorter and longer sentences which AI does not do. Your text reads exactly like something written by ChatGPT. I mean seriously read the "lore" section of Morgath's description out loud to yourself.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt maybe you don't personally know it but your employees are 100% using AI to write the content. I would too if the expectation was that my team needed to have a new book out every week.

Read carefully, while trying to refute your claims, he proved them.
