I remember some of the commercials where you don't even know who is promoting this feelgood 30 second story until you see the end card.

In the post I was responding to, the GM was using AI to create "boxed text" to their own homemade adventure. The GM is not reading off bullet points from a pre-made adventure, they are creating an adventure from scratch themselves. Or it sounds like the GM is less having AI Tools help flesh...

I'd say people have different skill levels. At least that's what d100 game engines would tell us. :ROFLMAO: We all have our weak spots but that's what practice is for. Forgetting a salient detail is not a crime, simply admit you made a goof, provide the detail, and move on. Confidence is...

Why does a GM need boxed text? Boxed text is a short hand device for the adventure designer to suggest how a GM paints a visual image or interaction. For homebrew, the DM already knows what the scene is going to be like. As for a lot of the stuff AI is being used for, it makes me wonder how...

A giraffe demon? That is a very long demon neck.

That still need assembling and painting vs pre-paint? I'll paint when I retire. And I'd say some of the choices are less cool looking to be honest. https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/dragon-2022

You don't. I assume, though, they are cranking multiple dragons the same reason a company needs like a dozen different type of adventures, it's appealing to several niche markets at once: The GM who wants one specific dragon for their game The fan who thinks that particular dragon is the...

AI is one of those thing that would be amazing for hobbyist and one-person shops or to be used to improve voice to text for dictation (If they are using AI right now, it still sucks) For companies that have a budget, the real danger is not just lost artist revenue, it's the idea that a bean...

A popular game right now, Deep Rock Galactic seems to have a human editor overseeing their procedural engines.

I can see this. If he doesn't say, "We're working on it." He's going to have someone breathing down his neck every day to jump on the new hot thing. But yeah, I play with quite few people and not only do people not use AI, they use the game to inspire their own art practice.

The irony of a company with management complaining their product is "under monetized" and then miss an opportunity put a 50th anniversary sticker/collector's item on everything this year. TBH, that was a different administration but things should have already been in the works before the new...

I appreciate the Cypher System which is a bit tactical and narrative. Those who succeed over the monster's difficulty are now a team who can discuss who goes in what order, then the monster goes, then the remaining PC are team B and can discuss how they will attack.

It seems there are whole companies who specialize in traveling, interactive exhibits. I went to a Sherlock themed one which was fantastic and took a couple of hours to go through, which was great as it was hosted by a museum so we could take our time...

I'd also suggest Last Call.

Yaquinto military scenarios were the first time someone explained to me you could tweak a map by simply reskinning the legend. Now Level 1 terrain was all water and we had a swamp or frogman mission.

Where did you see Matt talking about Tim? Link? Not surprising as he is woefully underappreciated in the mainstream but over the decades he has become an influence for a lot of writers and game designers. A lot of his books are very gaming adjacent with history merging with his worldbuilding...

It's up to you, but I don't tend to memorize these things from article to article so it won't feel like repeating to me. :ROFLMAO: And I tip my hat to you for your good deed of the day. As we have painfully discovered, way too many game and fiction writers are getting forgotten at a time when...

Yeah, I thought it was weird that it was only considered a, "a solid, mainstream fantasy novel," in the review.

The Yaquinto games are a blast from the past to me. I don't remember how I got my copies. Interesting how even most OSR doesn't do this as much anymore, leaning more on random tables to populate locations.
