    Shadowrun deserves better

    I have a vague recollection that much of the populations in the indigenous-controlled areas of North America consist of "immigrants", i.e. people without any blood ties to various tribes but who either moved there or already lived there when things got shifted around and didn't want to move.

    Let's Talk About Character Resources To Power Abilities

    Exalted 3e tried something like this. Not necessarily the interplay between combat and not-combat, but trying to make them have equal weight. In previous editions, a very disproportionate amount of Charms (magic-powered special abilities) were focused around combat – I'd estimate something like...

    D&D Jihad: People Who Are Unwell

    We're both old enough to remember back in the 00s when they were able to provide a steady stream of written content on the D&D website. Lore for both Forgotten Realms and Eberron (and maybe some Greyhawk too), previews and web enhancements for published books, DMing advice, poking at problem...

    Trailer Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Season 1) trailer

    As I recall, even before Rowling became super-toxic (or at least before the public was aware of her toxicity) she was very protective of her world, and wouldn't let others expand on it. I have a vague memory of Hasbro licensing Harry Potter back in the 00s and mentioning "role playing" in the...

    Trailer Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Season 1) trailer

    Tolkien was very much not a Nazi. When his German publisher asked him to certify that he was "Aryan" in order to be able to publish the Hobbit in German, he basically told them to bleep off, but in slightly more polite terms.

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    I think it's the same all over the EU. There was a case a few years back where, IIRC, the Wikimedia Foundation had to pay some architects' collection society a bunch of licensing money for publishing pictures of covered buildings. Presumably, this would apply using the same terms as any other...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I unfortunately couldn't find a non-karaoke video version of this one: In the sphere where I was born, Lived the oldest gnome I've seen, And he told us of his life In the Gnomish Space Marines. So we jammed up to the sun In our fine well-built machine, And we joined the stately ranks Of the...

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    It sort of is, though. Or rather, it assembles the image from bits and pieces of those already existing images – to the point where you can occasionally see artist's signatures on the resulting image.

    Draw Steel General Thread [+]

    As I understand it, they will send out a discount code to everyone who bought the Heroes book, whether or not that was via the crowdfunder or in the store. This discount code is for their own store, and you can use it for anything there. One of the things you could buy is a Steam code for the...

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    This is not the same as being an artist. You might make a case for being an art director, but that's pretty iffy as well.
