The Book of Backgrounds: Family Legacies

[xguild]

I'm not sure this is the right place, but it sounded like it from the description.

I recently published a book that I'm pretty proud off for 5th edition D&D (2024 revised) called The Book of Backgrounds: Family Legacies.

It was, at least for me, a tremendous effort but I think It turned out great, super proud of it.

Here is the elevator pitch!

The Book of Backgrounds - Vol 1: Family Legacies takes the concept of character backgrounds to a new level, offering 8 unique family legacy backgrounds designed to add rich narrative depth to your game. Whether you're the son of a mad king, the daughter of a famous mercenary, or the bearer of a terrible family curse, each background is crafted to bring drama, intrigue, and personal stakes to your character’s story.

This supplement provides not only these immersive family backgrounds but also includes new origin feats and specialized equipment to enhance these legacies. Additionally, you'll find a wealth of advice and options to help you fully embrace the background system, allowing you to weave these family stories into the heart of your game. The Book of Backgrounds is the perfect tool for players and Dungeon Masters alike, adding narrative flavor and expanding roleplay opportunities in exciting and creative ways.

Who drew the cover? Details seem a bit...off.

Midjourney probably?

Midjourney probably?

Don't want to just throw around accusations, but it does seem very AI-ish.

The entire book was made using AI art. Perhaps some day when I finish the rest of the volumes, I will have raised some funds and I can publish a book with a proper artist, but one day at a time .

Promotional post have their own subforum unless your are a community supporter.

And just to be sure: product illustrated with AI art on Dmsguild need to be marked as such in the "creation method" subsection when you publish your product.

I have moved the thread to where it needs to be.

It's undoubtedly AI, lots of things to show that, I was just hazarding a guess at what program it was

It's mainly DALL-E, though I do use Midjourney for some things. There are some advantages and drawbacks to both, but I find DALL-E is a bit easier to interact with.

I don't have anything against generating illustrations using AI
