    AI/LLMs Plagiarism vs. Inspiration

    man honestly, he uncomfortable truth is most ideas aren't that valuable. I did copyright a few terms of my own and wrote my vision (that can best be described as Monty pythons raising of swamp castle), but I personally made a conscious decision to release it to the world on my blog, so that at...

    Shadowrun deserves better

    D&D General Is D&D-powered sci-fi having a moment?

    around here, not much. :D But it's my response when your Dungeons and Dragons game is getting too out there. You do your game how you wish, but I'll do it my way, and if it involves heavy metal minotaurs fighting demonic dinosaurs in the badlands of Alberta while rocking a bitchin' soundtrack...

    D&D General Is D&D-powered sci-fi having a moment?

    And while I'm at it, reposting my comment on Pointy Hat's video: The original Castle Blackmoor dungeon had elevators and a gift shop. The first module was Temple of the Frog (in which aliens set up a frog cult using incredibly advanced technology). This was also redone in the DA Trilogy...

    D&D General Is D&D-powered sci-fi having a moment?

    Earlier this year, Pointy Hat made the argument that I have been making for years, and apparently, it is a moment. Maybe this is finally the time to try to get the hodgepocalypse into a publishable state, since it shares many of the same themes.

    D&D General How elder scroll does species

    I am trying to see if the way that the elder scrolls games does their species is a better or worse model then the current or previous editions of dungeons and dragons. Like giving humans special abilities based on region makes as much sense as doing sub species for dwarves and elves. Skyrim in...

    D&D General So WOTC is doing Milf's Guide to Greyhawk...

    Because I can't let a bad joke die. MILF’s Guide to Greyhawk “Power, Presence, and Practical Magic from a Woman Who’s Been Around the Multiverse Twice.” These days, I answer to Melfina Brightflame, archmage of experience, which is what you become after you’ve watched empires rise, fall, and...
