A re-imainging of the Dungeon Masters Guide 1E cover using OpenAI. BTW - I don't mind sharing the prompts, but they are really long and disrupt the post. If you want the prompt, please DM me.

Yep, just the prompt - no reference image

Here's an attempt at reproducing the cover of the Player's Handbook 1E Prompt: Create a cinematic high-fantasy illustration in the style of fantasy RPG artwork. The central focus is a massive demonic idol made of red-orange stone, seated cross-legged inside a dark stone alcove framed by an...

The new image generator from OpenAI is very powerful, and lets you position and adjust elements in ways you can't with other engines. Here's my quick attempt to reproduce the famous cover for B/X basic in a modern style:

Has anyone else seen this skeet: It suggests that books are exempt under the new EO, quoting some fine print.

If I am reading things correctly, books printed in Canada that comply with USMCA are exempt from tariffs. Can someone with more knowledge confirm?

Possibly! But what he is referring to is "excessive realism" - that is, when you start to get pages and pages of crunch attempting to simulate the real world. The multi-page article about how to calculate height and weight in this issue are one example. Grognardia considers narrative coherence...

Fair call - I think you've got a lot more experience with the game than I have :) Truth be told, I first read Knight Hawks after I'd already started playing Star Wars D6, and the latter coloured how I thought star ships can/should be run in an RPG. I still wish WOTC would update and release a...

Agreed. It was kinda weird how they just added a war game to Star Frontiers to handle ship combat. It kinda makes sense, but it never really felt like it integrated starship travel into the roleplaying game - not in the way that Traveller did.

I thought DL1 at least gave you a few meaningful choices along the way. DL2, by contrast, has one of the worst railroading sequences I've ever seen. It's my "go to" example of what to avoid.

Dragon Publishing released Dragon #91 in November 1984. It is 116 pages long and has a cover price of $3.00. This issue features the Nine Hells, realistic character statistics, and a treasure trove of magic items! The cover is by Dean Morrissey and depicts a strange naval vessel that appears...

This is an excellent summary of the situation. Thank you, @Christian Hoffer !

Are you seeing any significant AI-driven changes in your workspace right now? Or is it more what you think is coming?

This is really annoying. One reason I've given my products B/W interiors is because it was so much cheaper. I really enjoyed giving my customers good books at relatively cheap prices. One thing that puzzles me - if these price increases are tariff-related, why did B/W go up more than color...

For those who are curious, here is a summary of active copyright lawsuits against OpenAI. Ironically, I generated this using OpenAIs Deep research (which I currently have access to). Tremblay, Silverman, Summary: A group of authors (including novelist Paul Tremblay, author Mona Awad...
