Dear All--
I had an idea for an RPG show a couple of years ago, but I needed a few good nerdy partners and I found them. We've been working on this for over a year and in October it will arrive. It will be epic. What is it? Who is involved? Well, you'll have to watch this space to find out!

There’s just one problem...

He’s absolutely desperate for a piss.

If you are a creator on Patreon fill out the survey and tell them a resounding no to generative AI.

It’s quick and easy, most the questions are multiple choice.
I have made a public post on Patreon with information on this, providing some guidance for Patreon Creatives and Patrons on how to take action against this delirious strategy Patreon is considering.
You are all welcome to share.
It contains a link to the survey and info on how to email Patreon.
