I don't think you can separate the idea from the execution like that. If you come up with a cool rhyme, you thought up and put together every bit of that rhyme. If you come up with an idea for a cool picture, there are a billion data points in the implementation of that idea that you haven't...

I commissioned dozens of art pieces from the same professional RPG artist, Storn Cook, for two RPG books I published. Maybe my experience is different to other people's, but the way I approached that was absolutely NOT 'here is a complete description of what I want you to draw, like sheet...

Yes. You're telling me this would-be creator has no ability to be creative, no ability to problem solve, no ability to collaborate, no ability to make others interested in their work, and no money. I'm not clear what value a work by such a person could possibly have.

My signature is an aura of imminent violence

First post so I'm sure you're on the level but here are some options you missed: No art Art drawn by you Art drawn by a friend or playtester Art that isn't art (e.g. photos) Art funded by you Art funded by a kickstarter Art funded by making something smaller first Don't publish

AI discussion being shunted into its own forum

The people who think AI art is interchangeable with real art don't know how to make (or appreciate) real art. The people who think AI writing is interchangeable with good writing don't know how to write.

That's wonderfully elegant.

The selling point of a small indie creator is 'here's my unique vision' rather than 'this is sort of like what everyone else does, but cheaper'. People using AI slop are by definition not creating anything, certainly not anything unique.

I've read the books so I know what's coming and I am in, but the trailer is pretty dull and makes it look like just more of the same.

Sure whatever Parmandur

I heard the allegations. I don't really care about them. Either do the show with him or don't do it.

Casters on the daily/encounter model. Martials on the skills and % unusual abilities model (bend bars/lift gates, scale sheer surface, and other borderline possible action hero feats). No at wills.

1) what? 2) this is irrelevant to my post. I know.

The movie Serenity is so strong as well, I'm not convinced that a season 2 or even seasons 2 and 3 would have been as good.

This only has any value if Joss Whedon is involved.

I have first edition on (an official) CD-ROM!
