I keep talking about this book but I never actually explain it, so here’s a rough guide to DEIFY, ft. @gontijo.bsky.social and @emptyjr.bsky.social
Yellow text on a red background. The header reads “Deify”, and the sub header reads “what is it?” Yellow text on a read background. The header reads “what is it?” And the main text reads “A solo TTRPG where you create a god and chart their story from beginning to end” Yellow text on a read background with three yellow text boxes. The header reads “how to play?” The first text box header reads “Domains” with the text “What does your god rule over?” The second text box header reads “Epithets” with the text “what do your followers call you?” The third text box header reads “Practices” with the text “how do your followers worship?” The fourth text box header reads “Champions” with the text “What special mortals serve you?” Yellow text on a read background. The header reads “how to play?” There is one text box. The header reads “Major and Minor Arcana” and the main text reads “There are story prompts associated with each card in the tarot deck. Pull a card, find a response, rinse and repeat.” Opposite the text box is a yellow graphic with red lines depicting three tarot cards.

I have spent the last week trying to make my favorite characters from other media in BDG 3, and it has been shockingly hard.

Anyway here’s paladin Buffy the Vampire Slayer

What were WOTC and Dungeons and Dragons thinking with the AI art in their new book? It looks bad, is unethical, and now people won’t buy their book because of it. What was the reasoning here?
