    I guess the Krull cyclops is a fantasy standard now?

    Error or choice? The cyclops mutant in Fallout was designed to be a bit silly, IMO.

    If Giant Freakin Robot's click bait video titles hadn't already, this would add them to my ignore list.

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Mythic Legions, Godzilla, Temeraire, and more

    You should go! I got to tour the Denver "Convergence Station" and it was an amazing experience. The rest of the locations are now on my bucket list.

    Hasbro CEO Reiterates That AI Isn't Used to Make D&D Because of the Game's Audience and Creators

    This grading period, all assessments in my classroom have been on paper. This creates more work for me, and less gets done, but it kills the kids using AI to cheat. Man, they've been doing REALLY badly on these quizzes! Attention spans and engagement with their lessons is pretty awful...

    Hasbro CEO Reiterates That AI Isn't Used to Make D&D Because of the Game's Audience and Creators

    At the middle school level . . . at least in my corner of the world . . . the kids are probably 99% cheating with AI and like your experience, that is an incredibly rapid acceleration over last year. But . . . they don't fully understand why its cheating and even why cheating is bad. My district...

    Yes, looks like I did! I missed the "not" in your sentence. Time for bed!

    Hasbro CEO Reiterates That AI Isn't Used to Make D&D Because of the Game's Audience and Creators

    Really? Even where Cocks stated the opposite? Cocks is all in on AI. But he's aware that certain fan communities are really resistant, and pushing it on them would backfire. That could change in the future, but I see no reason to fret today. EDIT: Oops. Missed the "not" in @MonsterEnvy's...

    Renegade Announces It Will Publish Exodus Roleplaying Game in 2026

    Yeah, Renegade does great work with their licensed RPGs, but . . . none of them are on D&D Beyond or seem planned to be, despite the tons of Hasbro IPs in their catalog. But since Exodus is built on D&D 5E, there's a greater chance than the Essence 20 games getting the treatment.

    Hasbro CEO Reiterates That AI Isn't Used to Make D&D Because of the Game's Audience and Creators

    They do? They love it? Source? Anecdotally, as a teacher of young teenagers . . . they use AI to cheat, but they were cheating before. They don't really understand AI. AI has evolved so fast it's left most teachers in the dust and we don't have the knowledge, experience, tools, training, or...

    Renegade Announces It Will Publish Exodus Roleplaying Game in 2026

    Yes . . . I'm also struggling to see your point. I own both books too. They have been published, yes. And?

    Renegade Announces It Will Publish Exodus Roleplaying Game in 2026

    What's confusing? Archetype published the two books in a very limited run available only to folks on their newsletter. You can't get them anymore, other than on the secondary market. The hope amongst fans was that WotC would do a more formal and widespread launch so that everybody could get...

    Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

    Like most of Star Trek over the years, if you peer too closely . . . plot holes, inconsistencies, and utter nonsense will jump out at you. You're not wrong . . . Caleb gets away with a lot, is told "this is the last time" and then gets away with it again. But if you sit back, don't worry about...

    Kickstarter Grim Sun at 6th of Mars and Brom as cover artist

    Sounds like you have definitely had some struggles. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend and your own health challenges. But those concerned about your ability to fulfill this current campaign when you haven't yet fulfilled your earlier campaign are "whiners"? I was on the fence before, I'm...

    What AI art can't do. And why maybe that doesn't really matter :-(

    To me, there is a difference between physical products made by hand versus products made in a factory, possibly involving robots . . . and AI tools that replace humans doing creative and thinking work. Either way, humans are automated to some degree, industries are disrupted, and folks lose...

    What AI art can't do. And why maybe that doesn't really matter :-(

    Hopefully there will be enough work for us "artisan" humans once our AI robot overlords take over all work. :( Techbros push this as a way to free humans from labor . . . but who's building the systems that will support all of us unemployed artisan humans?

    Creators who proudly state "No AI", often with a cute logo . . . that catches my attention!

    Kickstarter Grim Sun at 6th of Mars and Brom as cover artist

    And much of the campaign detail on the page. Not the first Dark Sun homage, but . . . I'll wait to see how folks review it after the crowdfunding campaign. Plus, Megaton is still working on fulfilling their last project from a few years ago, and that makes me wary of backing their latest.

    What AI art can't do. And why maybe that doesn't really matter :-(

    I don't care. Big or small or even individual creator . . . if you are using gen-AI, I will not support your project. Small creators figured out how to do it before gen-AI, so can you. I don't accept the "this is the only way I can afford to do this project" excuse.

    What AI art can't do. And why maybe that doesn't really matter :-(

    If the project seems to have promise . . . but uses generative AI in any way . . . I MIGHT post a comment somewhere relevant stating exactly that, "Hey, project seems cool, but your use of gen-AI is a no-go for me. Sorry".
