    AI/LLMs How are you using AI in your gaming?

    *Maps--AI can make decent maps, though mostly for common things. But it is great for just a random tavern. And I can edit the simple maps with more complex things on my own. *Pictures of Places- I've used my photo library for ages to saw players what things like "a castle" looks...

    Guess he was pro mask? I kinda remember almost seeing his face in one episode

    Trailer Masters of The Universe – Official Trailer

    Well, at least they are not going the "he does not know about the world" or the worse "he hates the world and wants to hide out on Earth". Still, I worry like 2/3 s of movie will be set on Earth. Then just a quick 3rd act of 'pew pew, good always wins'. And lots of CGI spam. Not so excited...

    Friday Fun: Your Formative Geek Media

    *All the 'pocket' books reprinting lots of old sci-fi/fantasy like Burrows, Asimov, and all the famous names that wrote 'pulp fiction' way back when. *Doctor Who- Classic Who, back in the Time Before Time when only a few geeks even knew this show existed. Back when the only way to watch it was...

    OD&D Using magic to help build an undispellable castle

    They should be able to get a ring of wishing... Er, yea, they did not make Fabricate 'duration instantaneous' until 3E.....but that does make more sense. The ring of djinni summoning is official magic item. Gate covers it, but that is high level. Also there is the Lyre of Building magic item.

    D&D General How do you do smart chaotic evil?

    Chaotic Evil is basically complete and total freedom with no moral restraints what-so-ever. Okay realistically they aren't completely amoral, but they have very minimal or very loose moral constraints. A chaotic evil character is free to just do what he wants and take what he wants. Thanos(in...

    Is this what it feels like to be a forever GM?

    As a Gaming Elder I'm a pillar of the local RPG community, though 75% of those people hate me with blinding crazy passion. But it is still a community, so that is good. I do get to poach a player every so often, so it is nice to have a pool of players to do that with. For a now super classic...

    Is this what it feels like to be a forever GM?

    Me too! This is very common. Casual players just show up with a character sheet....maybe. They put little effort into the game, often none. They just want the DM to make a fun game for them. This type of person is unlikely to change. I find simply not gaming with them works much better. A...

    How Do you have an adult conversation?

    It does depend a LOT on what the problem is that you want to address. The best way is to just remove the player from the game, if that is possible. If the player is doing something in the game, a great way is to just alter the game around them.

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    This is just the silly thing that happens every couple of years. It's like when bookstores and libraries said "Oh 'ebooks' are not real books, and will not be found here!" The Old Guard will make a big deal of it. Most people won't care. Some will. In the end, there will likely be less...

    Let's Talk About Metacurrency

    Don't Fate Points in games like Fate work like that? How about Blades in the Darks dumb Falshback one? Were you can just alter things saying "yuck yuck, sure is a good thing my character packed that item as we needed it, yuck yuck". A couple? Really one is enough. The problem is more the...
