Yeah, agreed. D&D's base assumptions (the old 'implied setting' chestnut) are all about lethal combat. The spell list (and this IS a magic school where you go to learn these spells...) is overwhelmingly centred around spells to let you messily murder monsters. If they'd made a conscious...

Just because WotC says something, does not make it so. Strixhaven follows exactly the same model as Curse of Strahd, or Shadow of the Dragon Queen, or even Spelljammer. Absolute minimal required setting information to enable you run a specific adventure in a non-FR setting with non-FR...

Not always. It was initially announced as a sourcebook, but the marketing got increasingly adventure-y as time went by, and by the time the thing was released, the adventure component comprised well over half the page count. I suspect (without any evidence whatsoever) that the content and...

Sitting at home with covid, swearing at the thing as my hundredth batch of generated images for a 'cleanshaven hairless' human warrior 'with a scar on his chin' comes back with all beards, and as louche skinny My Chemical Romance rejects despite specifying 'broad stocky robust'. Other no-no...

That is a frigging loopy amount of money.

What prompt did you use to get the curved swords? I spent ages trying to get it to draw a scimitar for me a while back, but because i was trying to give it to a robed undead creature it always gave me a scythe instead. Too much Grim Reaper in the training sets.

I had to do he same with 'dress', even in the context of 'full dress uniform'. It really didn't like 'Japanese' either.

I'm no expert on Taladas lore but you're going to have trouble with your selection of gods. In Krynn of course all arcane spellcasters get their powers from the three moon-gods of magic, and neither Chosen nor divine soul sorcerers are really a thing that syncs well with that But you could...

That happens pretty frequently even for innocuous prompts. Just re-submit the prompt and you'll probably get images next time round.

In fact, when i specifically try to get it to render a genestealer, it seems to make the connection that it's a WH40K request, but the overwhelming weight of WH40k images are of space marines, so i end up with very obvious space marine imagery and influence using a prompt that doesn't mention...

I've seen very obvious Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kim Kardashian faces at times. Not sure if it's just chance in those cases, or whether like in the Bollywood scenario it's due to the volume of of celebrity faces distorting the algorithm. I've been playing with how well it recognises...

Try specifying an object that you want to appear 'in the foreground' - it'll normally zoom out and display the actual subject of the piece in full length then. Some examples - i was playing around riffing on Elmore's classic 'Death of Sturm' piece. It's really, really, really bad at dead body...
