Yes. And just to emphasize: even for those (like me) who live in a place where their congresspeeps actually support the mess, it's still important to let them know that there are people in their districts who are unhappy. With enough pressure, they might change their minds.

No human being ingests petabytes of info, shoves it through a 10 to 100+ megawatt datacenter full of thousands of ultra-fast processors, to reduce it all down into some multi-billion-dimensional arrays of probability vectors.... and then automagically pop out perfect imagery on command. In...

To be sure, being forced to sacrifice vs being forced to accept isn't actually a choice. Suggesting that is just a variation on the "You critique society, yet you live in it" fallacy.

I did not know that! Perhaps there is hope for the future, after all.

If ever there was a time for "We think, therefore Buffy is," that time is now.

I'm pretty sure most are well aware of the trajectory. Approving of it, however, and being forced to accept it are entirely different things.

No, certainly not for writing and/or art. Fwiw, there are other places to insert AI into the workflow, such as editorial (proofreading, rewriting, etc), layout, and so forth; as well as (I suppose) non-creative/administrative stuff not directly related to product. These are harder for a reader...

Good stuff! Some time ago I started something kinda along similar lines, set in a parallel of the 1970s, with all its hippies, rednecks, punks, etc. Might have to break that stuff out again for fun....

Fleance is a perfect name for that. Though now I'm envisioning a rickety signboard that advertises, "Fleance's Seances 'n' Such".

For home games, I've only ever really noticed rules changes (in any system, D&D or otherwise) with new players who might be expecting one thing when I'm playing to another. It's not really any different than house rules, ime; it just requires communication. Might be different for "official"...

Just to be clear, you're talking about the remasters from 2005-ish? Or is there a newer update nowadays?

Sounds like a great setup for a Ghostbusters Wraithwranglers franchise operating in a tiny town out in the sticks.

you're right, it is brought up periodically: https://www.enworld.org/threads/is-there-a-way-to-block-threads.708185/ https://www.enworld.org/threads/thread-block-function.696755/ https://www.enworld.org/threads/any-way-to-block-threads.689976/

Well, rumor is some of those penguin islands are still being belligerent, so they still gotta be taught a lesson. So expect that most any dice mined from icebergs are gonna be priced double or even triple pre-tariff rates in the US market.

Ah, so it is. I was seeing was a high-priestess with a spear or something. And I even had my glasses on. 🫤

What's going on in that last picture (the red dragon) of the article? I see it's a zoom of the pic on the TOC page, but can't quite figure out what that little person(?) in front of his mouth is doing, or what's in the dragon's mouth above the person?

Solar Sagas by Stellagama is retro sci-fi using their ultra-lite rules, Quantum Starfarer. Orbital Cold War by Zozer Games is an alt history yankees vs soviets in space. Uses Cepheus Engine, an OGL version of Traveller. Red Venus is another "vs soviets" space opera setting, by Garnett Elliot for...

Puts a new spin on the old phrase, "Get off my lawn!!"
