    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    I bet this is something an Invincible Overlord might just take part in.

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Yeah, the PR angle is astounding. It should have been the very first thing out of the gate. It was treated like a complete afterthought and it shows a complete lack of awareness.

    Google NotebookLM for RPGs - Making my own Virtual Campaign and DM assistant

    I use it with new branding clients and so far they love it. We fill out a branding questionnaire and have a few development meetings and feed those items and notes into Notebook and create podcasts to send clients. "Listen to these podcast links about your brand, does it sound accurate?" It...

    Google NotebookLM for RPGs - Making my own Virtual Campaign and DM assistant

    Not that I know of but I'd have to double check, however, if you have the pay version you can add more than 50 sources into a single Notebook. My setup was just how I felt best for my campaigns is all. My 46 sources for the Forgotten Realms for example is more so for me to come up with backstory...

    Google NotebookLM for RPGs - Making my own Virtual Campaign and DM assistant

    I'm hoping it also introduces some of the elements from Gemini Deep Research as well. This would mean possibly being able to create a homebrew website. I've experimented with Gemini and a homebrew site and I'd say we're months away from pretty solid homebrew HTML websites. Those that know HTML...

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    This "trade war" is totally unpredictable, unfortunately. I wish them luck.

    D&D (2024) Guess the next 3rd party D&D Beyond book.

    I can second that, I also own it and enjoy it. I think they did a good job all around and the presentation is done very well.

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    LOL touche...and I enjoy hot sauce. I write a food blog and recipes for a client and given the content I now also receive hate mail. Dietary culture wars...so fun to read nasty messages because it's for vegetarians, the horror. I also got my first RPG gig after 20+ years of marketing, design...

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    As much as I enjoy nostalgia this project is already too toxic and drama ridden for me to much care anymore. Who's telling the truth who isn't etc...where there is smoke there is fire. I do hope in the end it does come to a ethical and decent conclusion and this is able to be worked through in...

    Dungeon Crawl Classics Erol Otus cover.

    Erol Otus and Jeff Dee with a large side of DSL and DS III got me started with D&D. Sucked me right in as a kid.

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Kind of shocked at the about face. Seems like a terrible idea for the brand. Maybe in a couple of months we'll hear they teamed up with Jason LaNasa. I'm being over the top, I know, I think BUT...what a change of what's acceptable for the GG brand. I enjoy all their products but feel it's time...

    That would probably work. They've added a timeline feature recently so it can read dates and place them in order.

    Google NotebookLM for RPGs - Making my own Virtual Campaign and DM assistant

    Yeah, it's not perfect but it helps me run my open ended sandboxes quite nicely. I've also made my own GPTs for random hex generation based on criteria I want and only dealing with my homebrew lore etc. Between the two it works nicely with the sandbox mentality and helping me improv quickly as...

    Google NotebookLM for RPGs - Making my own Virtual Campaign and DM assistant

    Not much. It's not flawless, of course. I find at times I have to ask it to redo an answer due to format of answers but not much on the side of making mistakes or hallucinating. So for example I may ask it to create a list of al goblins for a wandering monster list, it might screw the...

    You can upload session recordings as sources. So if you recorded every session and asked it to create a podcast to review session 5 it could work.

    Agreed, lol also considering I am trying to do the same for my businesses I'm feeling somewhat like a "slacker".
