I’m from the area and this is a really big win. We’ve had a string of terrible mayors beating promising progressives, so this is a long time coming!

I would agree with that. I’d rather not play than play in a bad group (or a group that doesn’t play the style I enjoy)

Yeah, that makes sense. Those people would really hate my games because I’ve switched to call of cthulhu lately and in that game you are absolutely not powerful 😅

I guess that makes sense. To be honest for me it’s such a social experience who I’m playing with is the biggest thing I care about.

Do that many of you really play in these antagonistic as fuck groups? I see so many memes that imply a very a hostile dynamic between DM and players. I think you might need to find a better group if that’s the general atmosphere.

I’m glad I don’t play with people like this.

Ah, I see. I wonder how convoluted that’s going to be in a few years 😅

I didn’t know people could post on defederated instances

That does seem nice. One of the many reasons I DM 5e from a “does it make sense” perspective over a rules as written perspective.

That does seem like a big upside!

What are some highlights that make you feel that way? I’ve never played.

We also sometimes have to pay “pet rent”, and no this does not cover pet damages.

As a sole proprietor, yes we do.

I think that’s totally possible, but I also think it’s equally likely that people become better and better at recognizing it. I remember when I was a kid what now looks like terrible CGI in movies was quite believable. People are really good at recognizing patterns, and especially for any kids growing up with AI they’re going to get a lot of exposure to it and likely become very good at spotting it. For all anyone knows it may just become inbred too if they can’t find a way to weed out AI from the training.

I’m not saying the hype the ai industry is pushing about only improving from here couldn’t happen, but it’s hardly a foregone conclusion from what I’ve seen so far.

Maybe someday 🧐

Do you just know that from seeing it on the midjourney feed, or are you able to judge the model just from looking at it? 😮

Looks like an AI gen at a quick inspection. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

This is a great idea

I did a salt marsh campaign that I themed like Louisiana bayou country. I had a whole society of reclusive swamp gnomes with Cajun French accents. I still miss those guys. They were cool and spooky.

We found it! The type of player I would never want to play a ttrpg with. 😐
