I have been thinking a lot this year about how to bring folks to games — especially TTRPGs.
There’s lots of paths, & most of them require a lot of patience — the long game, as it were.
I know many folks who are connoisseurs, restless maximizers.
But love people first, & meet them where they are.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Every year when Christians celebrate Christmas we are called to, again welcome Christ and reflect on how we receive him today. To look around at the world and say "how would this society receive Jesus in the flesh?" These displays become invitations to deep examination of our collective conscience.
Supporters of the displays say the Bible is on their side, but critics call the scenes sacrilegious and politically divisive, accusing the churches of abusing sacred imagery. n.pr/4rTabaD
Church Nativity scenes add zip ties and gas masks to protest immigration raids

Human imperfection and the will to better oneself is a part of creative expression that is vital to the arts and the survival of artists.
Folks arguing for AI to replace artists couldn't care less about art itself. They want an easy product w/out the burden of humanity. Evil shit

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.
This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.
