We played a sold out show on London's West End. I DM'ed the BG3 Cast in their first ever D&D game. Three main campaigns. Been all over the world!

I’ve decided my “dream D&D group” is now The Muppets. I want to DM the muppets playing D&D/TTRPG of choice.
I want Miss Piggy to get mad at me for rolling a Crit against her. I want Kermit to bust out a lil’ bardic ditty when he uses Bardic Inspo. I want Gonzo to cast Fireball.

Thanks everyone who came by stream tonight. It was very needed. <3
I'm sorry I haven't done it more this year, or kept on top of Patreon stuff, or made YT content. The last two years have been very tough personally, it has affected me more than I think I knew at the time.

"This shit isnt going away" is such a moronic thing to say. They are pushing ai in every part of our lives because they NEED their investments to work. The billionaires need ai to work. It's wildly unpopular, they are hoping we roll over and take it.

Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: 'We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI' - IGN
This morning, the news broke that Larian Studios, developer of Baldur's Gate 3 and the upcoming, just-announced Divinity, is apparently using generative AI behind the scenes. The backlash has been swi...

So utterly disappointed in Larian/Swen to hear that they have incorporated AI into their process, but *especially* in Concept Art.
That is a role so many illustrators and artists would love to have, and could bring so much creative passion, joy, experience and expression too.

NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Genuinely SO heartbroken that Larian is using GenAI shit in their games. I don't give a damn if it'll be in the final game! I don't give a damn if you're "not trimming teams to replace them with AI" you are deliberately not paying a person whose job it is to do stuff like concept art!?!?! AHGHHDVWJH

I don't know why the idea of developing concept art with AI is somehow meant to convince us that AI isn't replacing creative professions, when concept art is one of the single most creative and imaginative parts of the entire development process.

The only barrier to playing TTRPGS is the requirement of not being an asshole.
Respect for the table, the GM, your fellow players, the game you’re playing. Understanding, empathy, willingness to collaborate and have fun.

As a theatre kid approaching 40 years old, I can PROMISE you that theatre kids have been in the ttrpg scene/community for longer than the last decade.
Me and my high school pals were playing the same way back then as I, the HighRollers/CR/other APs are playing now.
