You can try https://grok.com/imagine . Among the major techbros Elon Musk seems to be the least afraid of controversy, so his image generator has no problem generating pictures of female characters, as long as they are wearing at least some amount of clothing. Here is one take from Grok of a...

If the new game was good I'd probably move. I feel like I've played 5e to death in the last decade, so a brand new D&D would be good.

Sounds like the PDK arrangement is more like dragons with knight pets. Not sure how you'd represent that as a D&D class.

Why are these people joining a levelup5e game when they don't actually want to play levelup5e?

The difference is that part of the rules of RPGs is that the GM decides what the rules are, changing the rules as needed is part of the GMs role in the game. Also, the GM isn't necessarily the host. I've played in games where one of the players hosted the game at his home, provided beer and...
