AI & LLMs are why we can't have nice things - this is a picture by Stable Diffusion of Centaurs fighting. I'm gonna have nightmares tonight... please, do not use AI in your work. #NoBots

Any suggestions for #TTRPG systems? This sounds sci-fi to me, so: TOON, Teenagers From Outer Space, HōL, Troika, SLUGpunks, Wyrmstalkers, or Vast Grimm? Any suggestions? You know if I'm creating adventure, it has to FUNNY!

Howdy #TTRPG fans!
I've entered an #RPG #GameJam itch.io/jam/appx-n-jam & my challenge is to make small adventure based on "Door to Centari" - so I'm inspired by these images... any other ideas that you think I should consider? Looking for your advice (while promoting the jam 😎)

My Stance on Gen AI & LLMs. I teach Indie Creativity. I design games & toys. I code, write, illustrate & make graphics. I believe that scraping IP to train LLMs is theft & plagiarism. I just removed all AI apps from my computer OS & every browser.

Is it true that #Microsoft #CoPilot is now using xAI's Grok for search summaries? Because I just got this very strange answer to the Bing search tonight... so who the heck is "Rudolph the Red-Shaped Man"?
BTW - when I asked CoPilot to draw a graphic of that - this is what I got back - scary.

WotC released the 5.2 SRD for #DnD today along with the new 2024 edition rules & a variety of the usual IP holdouts, it seems that the term "D&D" (but not D*ngeon & Dr*gons) is allowed terminology. Now D&D, along with 5e or 5th Edition is legal for 3rd party use.

50 years ago, a group of nerds, including Bill Gates and Paul Allen, envisioned the future of computing by creating #Microsoft
Thank You! I'm not sure what I'd be doing without Microsoft BASIC, QuickBASIC, MASM, Visual C++, and all the amazing tools that I've used to make software for over 45 years.

Any collection of vertices (typically 3, but occasionally 4 in software rendering, rarely more) connected by edges in a clockwise (typically) rotation. Easy Peasy 😎

They are VERY funky - Dungeon Crawl Classics uses very strange dice of 14 types: D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D10, D%10, D12, D14, D16, D20, D24, and D30. I'd prefer that the ODD sided dice & D4 were just doubled on the D6, D8, D10 & D14. I've heard of D13 dice but never seen them in the wild.

My process is bullet points or drawings for: Location>Hook>Patron>MacGuffin>Map>Quirky Cast>Combat>Skill Tests>Role-Playing>Twists>Hazards>Boss Battle>Loot
Optionally, I craft all the props & terrain.
I never play canned adventures.
Finally, we play & the players make me wing something anyway 😎

Balance in #TTRPG's is highly overrated. #DnD in its original release were guidelines at best for wargamers. The rules hardly made sense and were never balanced. In #RPG's it is always up to the players to decide if they want to run away or stand & fight, never the GM. Balance is for video games.

Just posting - I didn't make this.
Still, one of my favorite homages to the #DnD Beholder ever.
For those that don't know, I helped make the GBA version of D&D: Eye of the Beholder. It was my pleasure to write the original crazy mobster villain monologue for Xanathar.

This is a sample of the 3D printed miniatures I'm taking with me to Arnecon 2 this weekend... these are all for my PlunderQuest™ RPG.
Quest Board - Dangerous Well - Giant's Shield - Sydney the Owlbear (in Top Hat) - Crystal Puzzle - and of course a Mimic.
If you are going, I hope to see you there!
