lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider :
are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.
*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.
*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.
maybe you're not being negative *enough*

Ugh this is going terribly. This scene is so repetitive from last session. Ugh I forgot one of the orc's skills. I really dropped the ball on that description, made the BBEG sound super lame. Why did I even try that voice?
"Thanks, GM! Today's session was super awesome! Most fun in a while!"
Oh

TTRPG Tip 13. The third F: Freaking Balanced. This will take multiple days. Let’s start with this: there is no perfect balance in most games and definitely not in cooperative RPGs. You still must seek a balance that allows the game to flow and no player feels (rightfully) upset, including GMs.

RPG A DAY just keeps delivering on the very vague prompts We're talking about evocative environments and how to pull them out of the player, especially when the player is you.

Fiercely territorial, titanic jade crabs claim coastal waterways, coves, or caves as their lair. At rest, their shell is slate gray, easily mistaken for rocks or reefs. When provoked, they shimmer with an iridescent blue-green.
