Also there are 11 more days to submit your queer speculative stories already published in 2025!

The editors love reading far and wide, so please especially consider submitting work from journals and anthologies they might not be aware of.

Still my favorite example to show people, either the video or the section in the book, to illustrate what "xkcd's What If?" is like.

This is possibly the best photo I ever took and someone deleted my last known back up. I'm going to have to order a copy.

Is there a photo you're proud of?

This is not an actual D&D item, but damn it does a great job of conveying the behaviors of the AI Bros.
Should add a Wisdom check to add a bonus to the check for believing the quill. Higher the WIS stat, the higher the likelihood the user throws the quill into a nearby anti-magic field. 🤣
tomfreeman.bsky.social Tom Freeman @tomfreeman.bsky.social · Oct 10
I finally realised what AI dependency reminds me of
A mock-up of an old D&D guide detailing the properties of magical items, featuring "Altman’s Quill of Artifice". The entry reads: This enchanted quill, made from the feather of a harpy, serves as a magical scribe and sage, able to answer all its owner’s queries. The owner must use it to write a question at the top of a piece of paper or parchment, such as “Where is the secret entrance to the King’s treasury?” or “How can I cure lycanthropy?” Acting under its own power, it will write an answer. But despite its apparent (and often genuine) usefulness, this item is cursed. Roll d20 to determine the result of any query: 1 Hopelessly wrong, 2-5 Contains major errors, 6-10 Contains minor errors, 11-16 Accurate but incomplete, 17-20 Fully accurate. Apply modifiers in line with the rules for consulting sages (see Table 62) depending on the nature of the question (general 0, specific -2, exacting -4) and the availability of relevant knowledge (complete 0, partial -2, non-existent -6). The DM should choose the nature of any errors, as well as the consequences of believing them. If the answer is less than fully accurate, that will not be obvious, as the quill of artifice writes in a confident and authoritative manner. A reader may scrutinise the answer to attempt to notice any problem, but to succeed they must pass an intelligence check at a penalty of -2. Anyone who has previously failed such a check makes all future checks at -4. The owner of the quill is particularly vulnerable, permanently losing one point of intelligence with each inaccurate answer that is believed. The owner will be unaware of this loss, and will become fiercely possessive of the quill, refusing to give it up and distrusting anyone who doubts its output. A remove curse spell may make the owner willing to part with it, but the loss of intelligence is irreparable.
