I was one of the, uh, filthy casuals who occasionally went there, and it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if someone did. ..

My newest grift will be for-pay AI GMs for your games! Can't decide who's going to run your game? Nobody has time to organize a campaign? No problem! Just provide some input on starting parameters and pay our monthly subscription fee, and our AI GM will formulate an "original" campaign and run...

I do not remember them, and I think the thread I remember it from was on Gleemax?

So, when my daughter was born, we went into the hospital 3 weeks earlier than expected, on March 29, 2023. I was there the whole time. After a day and a half of labor, I did what I usually do when faced with extreme stress and started making a joke that, if my wife would hold on only a little...

Elena the Fair became Ioun in the 4E cosmology. * Disclaimer: This is not official, but is rather fan theorizing.

The aforementioned copyright infringement. Unless you have an entire flotilla of lawyers, I suggest you move along!

I ignore the Hate Chicken franchise like it fell into a void in reality. ... I'm sorry, who are we talking about again? I'm sure it's not important.

I'm just your Average Joe! Just an Even Steven gettin' along, all Bob's Yer Uncle!

Hmmm... I believe those are using given forenames, not surnames. "Negative Nancy" emerged in the 80s after developing from "Negative Nellie." Similar terms: Debbie Downer (the short form "Debbie" is only used as a forename); Doubting Thomas (while Thomas is frequently a surname, this derives...

Please do not misgender me! Please use Doubting Thomas for a classical feel, or, for a more modern take the youths won't sneer at, Salty Stanley. Thank you for your attention to this matter! POSTER REALALHAZRED

Ready Player One will stand as a timeless classic in fiction until the end of humanity. It will outlast all other fiction bestsellers: The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien; Harry Potter, by J.R.R. Rowling; The Corpse Danced at Midnight, by J.R.R. Fletcher; and The Bible, by J.R.R. Christ.

RuneQuest was mechanically mostly developed by Steve Perrin as an outgrowth of his tinkering with D&D. You can see a lot of the basic stuff in his contributions to Alarums & Excursions. EDIT: To be clear, I'm more saying proto-RQ was based on D&D. It rapidly diverged. But at the start, it was...

"We'll be proving a lot of stuck up buffoons very, very wrong. Which, trust me, is the very best thing about science." -- Deborah MacGuiness, paleontologist (1899) This sentiment is also supported by the Internet in general, not just science.

I guess my main problem with LLMs is that, I can't use the method I normally use to get the correct answer for things. Normally, I create a fresh account on a relevant forum, post my question, and then log in with a different completely new account and post a confident incorrect answer. Then I...

See, that sounds like work. My way sounds like fun, on the other hand!

No, see, I use the same prompt on 4 or 5 LLMs, so I can weed out the misinformation! It's just like the strategy of posting the same question on 4 or 5 message boards, but this way I don't have to talk to people!

Part of the problem there is just how many CCGs ended up broadly copying MtG mechanics. It blurs the boundaries; the same is true for all of the not-D&D games that were just "D&D with a few house rules". Technically, original RuneQuest, Palladium Fantasy, and so on -- all just D&D with a few...

And last night, I popped Horseman 9 (using the route shown in this video) and Weapons Expert 3 shortly thereafter. So, I'm at: Horseman 10: Break every wild horse breed. (Should be doable, some of them just spawn fairly rarely.) Weapons Expert 4: Kill 10 enemies with a shotgun using crafted...

Did someone call me?
