Hey gang, I'm putting together a TTRPG design workshop for people in my local RPG club.
What are some free games and SRDs you love and think make for great inspiration for creating someone's first game? Bonus points if they're available in Spanish but no worries if not.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.
