I don't know what that means. Like an AI that doesn't have the programming needed to make it capable of producing art on its own, but magically does so anyway? Or an AI created by another AI to produce art on its own, and therefore it's another AI mandating something, rather than a human?

Gives me an idea for a trap that releases a gas capable of animating the dead. The more who fall prey to it, the more dangerous it becomes.

The trap is triggered automatically (no disarm check), but the needle harmlessly glances off the gauntlet. Good on the rogue player for interacting with the game world.

This is trivial for them, but it’s a waste of processing power to have an AI produce arbitrary art no one is asking for.

The Banishment of Banishment?

Sadly, the movie is being absolutely slaughtered in the reveiws. I might see it if I'm bored and it shows up on a streaming service I already use.

Bought X1 The Isle of Dread for Basic D&D. Mainly to get an idea for how a good hex crawl can be done.

I think Basic D&D is purest in this regard, because tactical decisions matter more and there's less rules in the way between planning and execution. AD&D's combat rules are too much of a mess, while post AD&D it feels more like a computer or board game, where it's less about tactics and more...

Banished Tyranthraxus, the Possessing Spirit!

1:1 scale for LARP.

Deadliness is one of the reasons I have quick and simple character generation and advancement in the homebrew system I'm working on. If somebody bites the dust, it's easy to spin up a new character and get back to the game quickly. Essentially you make something similar to a "save" (I use an...

Invisible walls can be a fun gag. Especially if there's a monster behind it, holding something shiny and taunting the party.

Brought us stuff like this, though.

I think it's a workable feature. I don't think it's a good idea to just stick a random invisible treasure chest out of the way in a random, otherwise empty room. But you can telegraph the existence of treasure so the players suspect they might have to do more to find it. For example, a locked...

Either Bale or Battinson for me. Picked Battinson to support the new kid.

In an RPG you have a GM who can create whichever consequences make sense ad hoc. In a CRPG consequences have to be pre-programmed. That's why you often have no choice but to reload if you die.

You can still enjoy the tactical experience. In most CRPGs, if you lose a battle, you can just reload from before until you beat it. Yet people still enjoy these games. With a GM you can have consequences that allow the game to progress in interesting ways while having some consequence. Seems...

Another issue with character death in rules heavy systems is how arduous a task it can be to create a new character. I dread killing off PCs in PF2E because I know it’s probably going to take them at least 2 hours of real time to create a new one at the same level. And that’s just the mechanical...

Moved furniture to trap ghasts.

Is thread necromancy considered an evil act in this setting?
