AI serves well for plugging the holes and for prototyping. It is - at this moment - incapable of serving a complete and polished product (note that there are agentic workflows that - seemingly - work well enough for some tasks to rectify that). And it's decent for managing research in large...

A small update - just in case anyone was interested. I have created a dungeon stocking generator that runs in Python and stocks a dungeon based on Shadowdark dungeon stocking tables. Actually, I have used Shadowdark tables, imported them into YAML file, and used ChatGPT to generate necessary...

And here it is. Several bits of information: SWW is missing random OSR tables. Shadowdark imports them, supplementing this functionality. Dungeon Turn aka crawling round is an experiment to find out if it helps with putting time-based pressure on the players. The encounters are meant to be hard...

@Reynard Hello there, just finished stocking my dungeon. Mind if I attached it to this thread? Note: While I used Shadowdark Dungeon Stocking method, I have used Shadow of the Weird Wizard and my campaign as an underlying game system.

Beautiful. I think you just have sold me on Shadowdark dungeon stocking generator. Thank you.

The elements of a good module that make me enjoy using it. There are actually quite a few of them, however, this being a mobile device and the time being almost an hour past midnight, I'll focus on priority stuff. One, provide a quick 'what has gone before' section to ensure that a GM can...

Could anyone familiar with the new (4th) edition share a list of changes/impressions?

GURPS is like a big box of LEGO bricks, while modern systems (like Cypher) provide ready-to-use assembled models, a few spare items and information how to mix and match. Your character pool should not be needed. Also, roll under systems break too easily. :)
