Lovecraft's work is also in the public domain, and furthermore he's also not using vast wealth and political power to materially harm minorities. It's disgusting that Potter crap has persisted as long as it has, and absurd that this TV show is just going to make even more people buy stupid merch...

good to see that the last 10 pages have done nothing to disprove my point of "if you think this looks good or is at all usable or reproducible you are the most gullible people on earth". also that you may need to go talk to another human being to remind yourself what people look like.

There is so much work that people create, so much art that existed before and after the rise of generative AI that uses 0 of it. You're just cranky you can't scam people as easily. You know how many Foundry modules people were making that were just vibe coded and thus 1. didn't function 2. they...

if you're credulous enough to believe that gen ai has any uses other than scamming, i've got a bridge to sell you. the devs involved in these "Reveals" have stated they did not sign off on anything involving it. it erodes the artistic identity of the actual video game for the sake of making some...

Given the Kickstarter page claimed it would be about normal Neopets stuff and not Classic DnD Bandit Murder But We Added Homophobia, people were pretty articulate about their distaste. A large number of design luminaries like Sam Sorensen, Will Jobst, and Thursday Garreau were directly attaching...

Very silly to try to bring back a show that was already just okay and the majority of its cultural clout expired with the release of Halo ODST. Also funny that Fillion has the good sense to not bring back Joss Whedon for being an insane freak, but is still bringing in Adam Baldwin, who is an...

The most important thing for "voice acting" at the table is not "doing a voice", it's just a matter of intonation. A little modulation of how you speak goes a looooooooong way. Also, none of us are good at accents.

Hollywood accounting - Wikipedia hollywood accounting will always be real unfortunately also Smashing Machine is absolutely incredible. go see it.

Only enough to differentiate between IC and OOC speech.

A classic Justin Alexander article: making sweeping denigrating comments about anything that doesn't match his specific ideas. What a narrow-minded weenie. Even inventing his own little name for a pre-existing concept just to rag on it. Never change!

Well, it's definitely a message board. And the people who pushed for this law are happy to harm/harvest the data of/limit the speech of as many people as possible so I imagine these will be read as broadly as possible.

this article sucks dawg. people who use tarot cards do not dislike them being used in games. they love it. who do you think is making the games that use tarot as a resolution system? and opinions of some insane reaganite moral majority weirdo who's somehow reading indie rpgs can be safely...

Their option was either "do this" or "go out of business". I think the fact they are clearly pushing back against this should indicate that they want to fix this in a good way too.

Also, I don't recall if it's been posted yet: Protect Queer Creators and Sex Workers - Tell Payment Processors to STOP Here's a website that's just a collection of customer service lines at which you can voice your displeasure with this disgusting overreach, censorship, and acquiescing to...

maybe yall should stop rageposting about the scary and nasty Other Ideas that have polluted your Pure Gygaxian Industry. this thread is full of people actively trying to Deny the validity of non-heavily-prepped-"sim" play. Active hostility to the idea that such play could even have merit. And...
