So today I found a really good solution for miniatures for an Arden Vul game.
wofungames.com have a bunch of flat. image printed pawns with art well suited to each of the major cultures of the setting.
They also have a limited range of fantasy pawns, some of which fit well with the setting.

So Wes Streeting allies want him to become Prime Minister - for the Labour Government to tank even faster.
We don't have time to play these silly games - people are suffering now.
Keep growing the alternative - they need replacing.

Yep, I was asked if I would license art to a project that was meanwhile using generated images as placeholders. Hell no! I don't trust anything about a project that uses genAI at any stage.

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.

This is the true victory of "the same guy".
I gripe about common media literacy and understanding the concept of story[telling] problems, but apparently I'm just an anachronistic relic because these are professional guild writers. Who can't figure out how to connect to old fuzzy continuity or grasp the concept of self-contained reboot arc.

We joke about the Torment Nexus and all that, but...
The truth is science fiction warned us endlessly not to let fear control us.
"Fear is the mind killer"
"Fear is a path to the Dark Side"
etc.
Silicon Valley claimed to love SF, then built a machine to amplify fear as a means to control people.

Long shot, but does anyone happen to remember which episode of Ken and Robin Talk about stuff it was, when Ken and @robindlaws.bsky.social expounded at length on the idea of the grate theory of creativity.
Want to include an audio clip of it in a lesson but struggling to find it.

Preparing to run @zedecksiew.bsky.social’s A Perfect Wife tonight, made these character cards with some “backstory” questions to help connect the players to Desa Damai. Super excited for this game. (Excuse my handwriting)

The right wing media ecosystem absolutely jumped on the Channel 4 report into representation in advertising - in particular the stat on page 19 of the 49 page report (yup, that was it!) - that 51% of adverts featured a black person.
