In the same way you hire anyone else... Or do you, when you hire an IT admin, first not give the IT admin any access to your IT systems and you first get to 'know' the IT admin for a year? You look at an artists previous work, you check references, you interview someone, you sign contracts. Or...

But if you don't trust your artists in the first place? Why bother paying them? Trust, but verify? Sure! But something as basic as asking for art that is not AI generated, if you have to bother checking, that relation is sour from the get go... Also keep in mind that you're talking about US...

This is obviously AI art, as the 'goggle' skull on the right is not anatomically correct: :devil: Looking at something that would normally be a photo as AI art is something different from drawn or painted art, like this for example, it has that same 'AI' tag in the same catalogue, but what...

You don't ask if you should jump, you ask how high! ;) But I answered your question with "You don't" and the implied answer: Maybe with technological tools that are made for it (and not every tool is created equally, there is a lot of crap around) and they need to be constantly updated. As for...

You don't. AI art is pretty much an math question instead of an art question, we're using extremely powerful computers to first train a (math) model and then run slightly less powerful computers to actually run the models. You also don't do "x³+y³+z³=42" (Diophantine) from your head, you...

Initially the changes were not enough to make me buy another set of core books and there was no official support on the VTT we use (Foundry) anyway, so I didn't see the point in the first place (at least in the first couple of years). But since the end of January Foundry (the VTT we use) got a...

Foundry VTT has a certain technical hurdle (that something like The Forge fixes partly) that can be pretty high to setup and maintain. If you're not technically inclined and no one in your group is ready and able or willing to pickup that responsibility, don't use Foundry VTT! It would be like...

Also keep in mind that 'better' is very subjective. As an example: We're currently using primarily DungeonDraw in FVVT with a whole load of assets from Forgotten Adventures. As I'm a player, I do not have advance notice on what the maps look like, so everything is done ad-hoc, by me. And I...

What do you mean maps not optimized for VTT? Those maps are very optimized for Foundry, 200 pixels per square! Some maps have animations added like this: https://foundryvtt.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/website-media-dev/user_70/screen/wailing-battlefield-2024-01-19.webm Now... It's certainly not...

Yeah, I asked some questions about how they build the maps in the 5e and PF2 modules vs the D&D 5e module. The answer has to do with contractual obligations to WotC, the rules of the contract where different from those with Paizo (and no rules from their own 5e creations). I think that the PF2...

Riskmanagement for backing crowfdfunding projects is a skill in itself, some have it, some don't. I pretty much don't back software projects anymore, if they succeed I'll buy the eventual product (like with Dungeon Alchemist). With physical products like board/card/miniature games it really...

Doesn't the 'favorites' on the left side do that for you? Just drag and drop.

I mostly backed a few projects from CMON on backerkit, that were not really crowdfunding, but more preorders. That was very straightforward. But looking at Mementomori on Backerkit makes me understand why some say it's less userfriendly then KS. But I have to wonder how much is the fault of the...

I'm not doing that structurally yet, but I intend to. I even intend to store all the different releases of Foundry VTT on my NAS and eventually backup to MDISC (longterm strorage on blue ray) with a ton of parity files. The same for all the modules I've bought and probably for a LOT of free...

Kill everything with Force Blast!

You could rewatch it here: Still available for a while. My question was more related to how long they would be able to create official products and if WotC could stop the license deal if they decided their VTT would be the only D&D platform. What you're asking is something else. Foundry VTT...

It needs a bit of getting used to, playing around with it helps a lot watching a ton of the right videos helps a lot too. What I've done is the week before the session is to setup meetings with everyone one-on-one and go through how things work. You can completely go their speed, answer their...

I'm extremely happy with official D&D support for Foundry VTT! Especially when the folks running Foundry VTT are actually doing the official supplements instead of WotC. I bought their two 5E modules and those are very impressive, I also bought a couple of PF2E modules, including Kingmaker...

Many of those projects wouldn't stand a chance in hell if you were to publish through the traditional method. These numbers mean very little, just that consumers spend less on TTRPGs then in the previous 4 years, what a surprise... They only indicate revenue, not profit, the really important...

But saying that you care about other people doesn't make it so. If people actually cared as much about other people as they say or act like, they wouldn't be here posting as much as they are, they wouldn't be 'wasting' their time with RPGs. They would dedicated their live helping people in...
