Welp. Just discovered that someone is putting out a paid collection --over 200 pages-- that looks to be a Spanish language history of Garfield parody comics that may contain some of my work.

While part of me is flattered, my permission was never asked.

a friend of mine had an interview with a big money guy looking to start a new team and his pitch deck had mspaint art in it and i was like you have no idea how much of a green flag that actually is lol
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.

It really does have us redoing the same general 💿🐴 about people wanting the name of a thing but not it's actual contents

At the end of the day folks can do what they want at their tables

But your eventually going to be so far removed from the material as to not even be playing the same game
It definitely seems to me like a lot of the RPG scene treats rules as an impediment to fun and something that must be broken to achieve it, when the truth is they just want more narrative-first systems over gamist or simulationist ones.

Which is fine, but the lack of awareness is troubling.

Not to wade into the current
💿🐴 but I think it is pretty obvious, as others have said, your system IS what it does

You can roleplay with any game, there's a narrative built in nearly every game played, if your game is inherently about fighting/getting a date/wandering then that's what the game is!

Each & every time I hear "it was a placeholder" I think WELL THEN USE FUCKING TEXT

If you KNOW that folks will value art, but then show you don't value artists all it does is Make me immediately suspicious that the rest of your project is ai genned, come off like a scam & me think your an asshole

#TTRPGQuestion #ttrpg

Jumping off a short but poignant conversation with @starmetalpro.bsky.social when it comes to TTRPGs what do you feel are the most notable differences when it comes to Home vs. Public vs. Actual play?

This fandom has a reputation for being "suspiciously wealthy" but the truth is most furries just love and value art and people so much that they want to use their money for art and supporting artists so they can make a living doing what they love. It's a cycle of genuine passion I think.

Amazing commission I got the opportunity to make for Rayne, I love to work on big maps, I end up taking a lot more time than I antecipate (thanks for the patience) and I am really happy with the final art. =

Say it louder for folks in the back! It's come off to me that as of late alot of games try to tout themselves on "not restricting play" or being open but what they really are doing is leaving absolutely no structure to it

I dont care if you've got 15 pages of lore & pictures. How am I running this!
#TTRPGs are an interpretative medium. But here's the catch:

For players to interpret a game THERE HAS TO BE A GAME THERE.

If your solution to game design is not designing, you're not presenting a game to be interpreted, you're presenting vibes & expecting the players to design the game themselves.

Fave is a loaded question. If we're talking overall it's definitely a tie between gengar and alakazam and I won't pick between them

Fave legendary has to be Giritina

Fave starter is bulbasuar without question

Sorry Gangar, love you buddy, but Alakazam is my girl! Yes, I said it - my beautiful, psychotic, mustachioed girl! Gen 1, Route 24, turn 1, 1 pokeball. With me ever since!

As for legendaries, I've seen no more powerful a nemesis than the first movie's Mewtwo!

And Charmander for (fire-)starter!

Its so immensely gratifying to see little messages of positivity like these! Spreading not only knowledge of, but excitement and eagerness for indie & small publisher ttrpgs has always been a goal of my channels.
Go play some fun games and tell some fun new stories!

I'd probably avoid the typical capture stylus thing but could still be a raucus good time

Apocryphally, my grandmother stopped doing tea leaf readings after she accurately predicted someone’s death.
You are all ladies of the court at a tea party

The lady of the manor enjoys reading tea leaves & declares she wants to do a reading

Everyone offers up their cups, various things about upcoming good dates, surprises & trivial things until one persons cup forewarns a death coming soon

The government plans to unveil a new camera program in the city with the goal of "Preventing crime and disorder"

With limited time you must plan how to get into the main system in their skyscraper and turn it into slag!

With both physical and cyber obstacles what will you do?

Over a few weeks an select group of people have been suffering insomnia

Those that do fall into unconsciousness describe the same dreams, a person in a suit, asking them if they are ready to join & patiently saying we will wait when declined

A few have now entered into comas

The party has a group of imposters running around using their name & approximate likeness to get away with taking jobs under their name (be it adventures, investigations, mercenary work etc.)

It has tanked their public image, now they need to track them down & put an end to it!
