Been playing through the early access with a gnome archer ranger who hangs out with his bear pal, and boy does this game feel like how I always imagined DnD to be. I cannot wait for release.

Thank you so very much for the detailed response. You just sold a pdf! Truly, I appreciate it. I’m about to move across the country and need a quick and easy game to pick up and introduce to people to try and make them like me :)

The hand waving away of the criminal nature of what is going on here is going to look real silly once these lawsuits really get going. AI art is ultimately an infringing, derivative work stolen from the labor of others. It’s theft.

Looking for an update on this game: anyone playing it? I’m looking for an old school dnd style game, and I dig the art in this one. Anyone have any positive or negative experiences they would care to share?

You have nothing to apologize for.

The musical analogy doesn’t work in this regard I’m afraid. In this instance, what we are dealing with is theft. No acknowledgment of original artists. No recognition of original artists. No financial recompense of original artists. AI art is theft.

“Mistress of the Winter Constellations” is a heck of nickname.

The amount of hand waving away the basic fact that AI art is theft isn’t surprising, but it should be called out for what it is—justifying not paying artists for their work and normalizing stealing the work of others. Art has value. Artists deserve acknowledgement, recognition, and financial...

They should go further. AI generated art is theft.

Ok. How many times do I need to say I’m glad it works for you? I am legitimately happy you take joy out of playing online. I don’t. You keep quoting me while I keep trying to move past this conversation. I’m glad you have found a way to play RPGs in manner that is meaningful to you even if it...

I’m glad that you find that this works for you. It does not work for me. I find it a miserable process, and so don’t pursue it.

Cold iron typically was thought to be able to damage the fae—you saw this in works by Poul Anderson who was a direct influence on Gygex.

There’s a lot of games I want to run, but don’t have the time or energy to learn, so I feel you, I feel you dee.

I can respect people who say they will never game face to face again, but it isn’t for me. I hope to never play (unless I’m getting paid) online ever again. Some can experience social validation and engagement through a zoom game or whatever, but I can’t. I find my online games, my players, less...

I know it won’t mean anything to internet strangers, but my Trek newbie wife really liked this week’s episode.

Me and my group had a blast playing it, I highly recommend. We had newbies and folks who have been playing rpgs for over 30 years. It is a well written campaign that is well integrated with Kobold’s Midgard world, both which are huge pluses for me. The writer has put together some resources for...

I feel you. My wife just took a job on the other side of the country, and we move this fall. I leave behind my beloved game store and my fantastic gaming group (whom I am currently running through a Star Trek Adventures campaign. I think to end it I’m gonna bring back the WHALE PROBE. When I...

I made an obvious joke about Discworld being indebted to Fritz Lieber’s Lankhmar, something that even Prachett admitted in both The Colour of Magic and in the name of the city Ankh-Morpork itself. What I got in response was this weird defensive aggression to defend the brilliance of Terry...

It was a joke. As indicated by the emoticon. You wrote all those words in response to a clearly demarcated joke.

George Lucas tried to do something radically different in the prequels, and the nerds turned on him because it wasn’t derivative enough. Lesson learned: don’t trust nerds.
