Today on Dice Exploder I talk with @megueyb.bsky.social and @lumpley.bsky.social about Apocalypse World 3e. We took the 2e Brainer playbook and broke down every change as it became the 3e Brain-Picker.
It's fascinating to me how AW from the jump has been designed around the Baker's kids.

I continue to believe very strongly that a person's reaction to generative AI is directly correlated to whether it presents any existential risks to your craft. This is why senior engineers and CEOs are so psyched about it, and artists and writers are rallying against it.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has defended AI following Eurogamer's 2/5 Arc Raiders review, which criticised the game's use use of AI voice generation. "AI dialog generation + human personality and tuning could totally transform gaming," Sweeney said.

if James Bond had been blown to smithereens by a nuclear explosion then I would simply start the next movie by having him reconstituted by the human supremecy group "Cerberus"

I refuse to believe this was said by someone who previously wrote James Bond. How are you this "Zelda Timeline" brained for JAMES BOND. Has this guy not realized that James Bond has been 34 years old since 1962? I need his head cannon explanation for how Moneypenny magically became black in 2012.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

more normal realis session today (lied my way into an enemy fortress, murdered a master craftsman, stole his most valuable artefacts, and used his own forge fire to dispose of the body)
realis update: stole a friend's blood when they weren't looking in order to swear an blood oath to betray my sworn lord - an oath I have no plan to keep - to get some cool weird knights to join our party. (I had to do this because my character does not have his own blood)

I just think you should be skeptical of someone whose website has more links to "ways to give me money" than it does "things I've done/made"
do you think being "the bad boy of games narrative" gets you into the VIP section at the club

It feels inelegant to say you should read my latest review because it’s very negative. You should read my latest review because it’s insane. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
