You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

Happy Holidays. And a quick trick for making convincing fantasy holidays. #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons

Dungeon Dialogues: a cheap easy prop for enhancing your #ttrpg game.

Great Dragonbane game last night.

I will NEVER get tired of this specific "what I gave the artist vs what they made" comparison. MS friggin Paint, man... GenAI was required for exactly zero steps in this process. (Cover was made by David Collins, who seems to be currently inactive as a designer, sadly.)

Here is a totally selfish reason not to use AI if you are a creative. #writing #ttrpg

AI imitations of creative work (art, writing, etc.) aren't bad because it's "ugly". They already look "good enough" to satisfy most people. AI is bad because it's laundering plagiarism of real human artists AND making us ever-more dependent upon trillion-dollar tech companies.

This is a fantastic deal on my favorite version of 5E. #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg bundleofholding.com/presents/Tal...

2025: A Year in Gaming #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons

I try to focus on posting about art and comics and not my complaints about the state of everything but GOOD GRIEF

For any new followers, Hatchlings Games is strictly against the water guzzling, job devouring, billonnaire enabling monstrosity that is Gen-AI. If you’re someone that advocates for its use, or worse, encourages its growth in the creative industries, we shouldn’t be mutuals.

The thing about generative AI as a “tool” for game development is that personally I haven’t seen it do anything that I wouldn’t rather do myself. I got into the industry to make games. To relish in the act of making games.

Really liked Wake Up, Dead Man.

Broke down and added a pet_pics channel to the Thrones & Bones Discord. It was time. discord.gg/Php5sBySjT

I am continuing to have a great time running my monthly Tales of the Valiant game, using @louanders.bsky.social's Thrones & Bones setting, as we continue through Fury of the Forsaken. I don't know how much I can say since I don't want to spoil anything if you're going to play through this adventure.

hi @brotherwisegames.bsky.social - do you get the PDF of The Cosmere RPG if you buy the physical books?

Some Worldbuilding Advice that goes against the grain (whether for #TTRPG or novels):

Watched Dead Reckoning/ Final Reckoning this weekend. Watching the credits at the end. So many names, so many locations. So many people actually making things. Glad I didn’t watch that on my phone.

Let’s look inside the Dragonbane Core Set. #ttrpg www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8UHFHNy/

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵 I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

A lot of transphobic whataboutism is just straight up trying to make being a bigot sound like a legit position asked in good faith. Nope, same old horseshit.

AI creates an illusion of work, not work proper. It's not for writers, it's for people who want to 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯. It's not for creators, it's for people who want a portfolio or a container full of "content." It is opposite to human expression; it is simulacra. A plastic hamburger on a tray.

I've been saying for over a decade that @megueyb.bsky.social and @lumpley.bsky.social's work with Apocalypse World is arguably in the top four most influential works influencing what tabletop roleplaying games look like today. May this be the first of MANY honors given to AW in the mainstream!

Fantastic game of #talesofthevaliant tonight. We had a boss flight and a monster showed up, and I got to play test the monster I designed. One thing didn’t work as intended and I’ll tweak it as a result, but I’m very happy with its overall performance. #ttrpg

Three episodes into *The Mighty Nein* on Prime. It is so, so good. I enjoyed *Vox Machina*, but this is light years ahead of it in terms of the writing and story development. #criticalrole #primetv

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

I played Dragonbane for the first time at Gamehole last month. I ran the same adventure yesterday. It was a blast. All of my players want to continue and one of them wants to turn around and run the adventure himself. #TTRPG #Freeleague #Dragonbane

If you like Studio Ghibli, Knives Out, The Owl House, or Frankenstein, here’s what the creators are saying about A/I. 🚫 SAY NO TO GEN A/I 🚫

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n... "Wilson said it was also upsetting for the production and design team, who had worked hard on the books." I would have thought "working hard" might involve bothering to get an actual cover artist to do actual art for the covers but that's just me

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt. . Here’s why, and what you can do if you want to remove this: buff.ly/MlAq0rL

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

I look at an influential spy #TTRPG from the 1980s.

Read about the latest two offerings from Lazy Wolf Studios. Together, two TTRPG books feature four tales that link to form one great adventure: #dungeonsanddragons #talesofthevaliant #ttrpg

Somewhere out there someone who’s the best at what they do is terrified that they have imposter syndrome while a bunch of barely literate pedophiles are very calmly running the world
