just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

oops it's her again

you ever get so mad at an old dragon magazine article that you give yourself a headache and have to go to bed early to sleep it off? haha yeah no me either 👀

Wonderfully written article! If you're a gamer and you care about how the people you game with feel and/or the history of TTRPGs and how we got where we are, I highly recommend reading this.

"Lead creative minds, their insular source material, and like-minded players have fed into each other like a venomous ouroboros for the game’s entire lifespan. D&D doesn’t just reflect real life, it reflects their real life, and all of the prejudices that came along with it." What an amazing read.

Going to post and try to put the TTRPG AI Blocklist out there a bit more because...well to be totally honest I'm sck of seeing AI chuds wring cash out of this space. I try hard to make this list as accurate as possible, and update it regularly so that we can push AI users out of the TTRPG space.

Left my window open last night and a succubus got in. Had to catch the dang thing using a broom and laundry basket

hey, uh, y'all *do* know that chatgpt *is* generative ai, too, right? it's not just art. gen-ai is not just stealing & scraping the internet for art, it is *also* stealing & scraping the internet for all types of written word. you cannot be anti gen-ai and still use chatgpt. all gen-ai is harmful.

hey d&d maybe including a half-baked version of swanmay in 5.5e that basically requires people to google their problematic past wasn't the best move :p

wanted to repost this here b/c the ttrpg space really do be needing to talk about the gatekeeping issues at all corners of the hobby 👀 thank you to @neosoulgod.bsky.social for bringing up this convo ✨️🩷

The idea that opposing and rolling back trans rights is good for cis women and girls is ludicrous on every level and absolutely enraging when applied in legislation and policy that obviously limits and rolls backs rights for ALL women and girls

out of context quote from april's episode: "you know what happens when we assume: we make up headcanons about ✨ lesbians ✨ [and] ✨ enemies to lovers ✨. you don't want us in your d&d."

The week ahead in TTRPGirls! All shows are 7pm GMT / 8pm CET. A masterclass on AP performance and production, and a horror oneshot with a bitter cold twist.

Just a few of the epic projects out there you should be following: @galsndpals.bsky.social @womenwhodnd.bsky.social @womenplaydnd.bsky.social @slovenlytrulls.com @euphoriaap.bsky.social

Happy International Women’s Day to ALL women 💖 Today and everyday we celebrate the women across TTRPGs and beyond. Women have always been in this space, and now more than ever, we are telling our stories, taking up space and forging the future of TTRPGs! #InternationalWomensDay

having u.s. daylight savings be on international women's day should constitute as a hate crime

d&d players dismissing the mechanical effectiveness of a bard in favor of calling them "the seduction class" is reflective of society's dismissal of the arts as an effective and necessary part of society change my mind

LIVE and starting soon! We'll be chatting about how excited we are about #InternationalWomensDay, this month and all the planned streams exclusively filled with women & femmes! twitch.tv/EUphoriaAP

Here’s a cover I illustrated for the upcoming D&D book, Ravenloft: The Horrors Within. It was such a joy to paint Strahd again 🦇 Art director: AJ Hanneld

signs 2016 really is back: seeing people ask for "female d&d fanatics" out in the wild and then immediately making it creepy

OH MY GOD WE DID IT HARLOTS WE MANIFESTED 5.5E THIS IS ON D&D BEYOND AKSDJALSKJDLAK

who found this pic of us be honest

Trans people won't be erased, no matter how hard politicians try.
