No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.
If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

Most of the games we've published in the last 10 years (ie Monster of the Week, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Blades in the Dark) either use the Powered by the Apocalypse engine or are hugely influenced by it.
Happy to back this latest incarnation from the Bakers.
Strongly recommend you check it out:

On our crowdfunding campaigns from Thirsty Sword Lesbians on forward we've been using Backerkit's marketing services to take care of ad placement. We (@crislv.bsky.social) make a variety of graphics to their spec, hand them over, and let them roll with it.

In 2013, I started writing product histories for @drivethrurpg.com and their new releases of D&D PDFs. It was a great opportunity and I got *lots* of comments on them. The most common: when are you going to collect these into a book? Those books are available now on Backerkit!

Of course, the books have also been carefully edited and beautifully laid out by @evilhat.bsky.social. @ktwelves.bsky.social helped me with consistency (and everything making sense). @crislv.bsky.social offered gorgeous graphic design. @lulavampiro.bsky.social helped with tricky issues. ETC!

I normally avoid some topics on social media, as the way people interprete words lately seems really... volatile, but, I want to share a thought.
I saw that a TTRPG game from the 80's is going to be reprinted, and its theme has some problems shielded by historical accuracy.
