I've had a big influx of followers lately too, so hi! I'm a TTRPG creator, putting out d&d content regularly and currently elbow-deep on my first book, Songs of the Spellbound Sea. To date, I've only posted new content promos, but I think I'll probably start being more of a real human going forward.

So, hypothetically, if you were to make a solo-cup-in-chain-link-fence message over an overpass, you’d be putting in the letters backwards. And, again hypothetically, you might want a template for that.

Hypothetically.

Our warehousing & fulfillment is based in Minnesota. The company is closed today (their employees are getting paid). We fully support them in their struggle against federal occupation of the state.
If you are not in MN, here's a link to some ways you can stand up and take action.

ICE Out for Good
On January 23, people across the country are taking action in solidarity with Minnesota to demand ICE out of our communities. Join the day of action.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”

1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.

2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.

3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

One thing I struggle with about engaging with indie TTRPG folks is that many of them seem to come from tables wildly unlike mine, and rarely acknowledge it. I need a consistent game that can flex to fit different sorts of players, not players that can flex to fit different sorts of games.

If you showed push back against WOTC for firing artists or getting using AI art, then you better be willing to fight back against it happening through the TTRPG/board game community.

No GenAI in video games, board games, music, art, ANYTHING. GenAI isn't work, GenAI doesn't work.
I wish boardgames got the same backlash for using AI art in final products that Larian Studios and Expedition 33 did for just using it in pre production

Awaken Realms (whose CEO also owns Gamefound) openly admits to it and still raised >$15 MILLION on crowdfunding this year

I cosign all of this. What's also important to keep in mind: companies are bad at nuance. An absolute stance is the only one they will understand.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

AI use is probably the only thing Larian could do to make me *not* interested in their next game.
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...

A thesaurus is an incredibly powerful tool in a designer's arsenal.

Especially in places where the word count is extremely limited, such as ability names, the right word can transform something from functional to really cool.

The time you spend searching for the right word almost always pays off.

I loved working on this cover so much. It's been hard to sit on it for so long before the project was ready to be shared.
