The good news is they can replace it with a much more profitable high rise!

Charge them for adventuring hooks! "There's a free adventure, but it's just someone who needs their basement cleared of rats. On the other hand, for 200 gp you can unlock a quest called called Slay the Dragon..." ... In reality, I think some interesting ways to get characters to spend money...

I just finished a full watch of all seasons of DS9 (usually while cooking or washing dishes) and it's an incredibly special show to me. There are a few things that really make the show stand out to me: 1) Character Relationships This is an obvious one, but the way this show focuses on the...

$20 says the new James Bond will be bald.

Well at least Bond will be able to get shipped anywhere on the planet within two days.

Cottagecore has been a thing since the 2010's. I think it speaks to a romantic view of the self-sustained cottage lifestyle, tending your garden, making your own jam, etc. It also intersects with a lot of fantasy and children's literature like A Wind in the Willows, the Secret Garden... You...

We've been reading my son a book called Little Witch Hazel that feels like it fits this genre. The main character is a tiny little witch who goes about helping the animals, gnomes, and other creatures of the woods. The conflicts include raising a baby owl, finding the source of a mysterious...

Just an update: it's starting today! I'm about to make the drive up to the cabin. I've got Honey Heist, Ironsworn, we all know 5e by heart, and I also wound up making my own 5e-lite game. It's going to be a blast.

Two ideas: 1) The moon is hot! It is a ball of heated material that radiates light. 2) The moon is a big phosphorescent mushroom in space. It glows and spreads spores.

Out of all the VTTs I've definitely had the worst experience with Existenz. I signed up for the beta, and they promised it would be a really immersive VR RPG experience. But it's so immersive that I keep thinking I'm quitting the game and then it turns out I'm just in another level of it. It's...

Hi Gryll, welcome to the board! Just so you're aware, the post you're replying to is 20 years old, so you might not get a reply. 🙂

I think the answer is to create your own Award with which you can choose the parameters for entry?

Exactly, well said. Nobody is stopping anyone from using AI, or even publishing work with AI. But some folks are choosing not to support it, usually due to the fact that it takes work away from humans. So @Lanefan , if you don't want to work with an artist and just use AI, you're right that the...

In d20 Conan, characters with the Pirate class got the ability to coup-de-grace as a free action. So the pirate character would walk around the battlefield, finishing off fallen foes as she went. It was pretty chilling!

Two thoughts: 1) Artists almost always send multiple drafts and revisions to whoever is commissioning them. Revision is a baked-in part of the process. 2) I think your situation is somewhat analogous to giving a painter a photograph and saying "paint this." The painter could just replicate the...

For a while I was playing in a 4e game in which the understanding was: Since the players can work together to develop tactics and get time between rounds to make plans, the enemies get to act with metaknowledge of whose defenses are weakest, how spell effects work, etc. I liked this because...

Honestly I think every role should have the potential for god-brain tactics and also beer-and-pretzel play. There should be room for spellcasters that just press the Eldritch Blast button over and over again, and spellcasters who have calculated how to cast three fireballs in the perfect...

I'm curious what kind of behavior you think human moderators have "scared away" that an AI Moderator would allow?

The only proof you need of the limits of AI is this thread itself. There's no way an AI would ever come up with something like this!
