Salgutoro is a kindly, almost noble being, but unfortunately most people are still unnerved by the eight foot tall, mushroom-covered construct.

Another of the NPCs for our upcoming Tales of the Valiant campaign!

Overheard from several members of Novituri Company One;

"Hey uh. Did the boss hire a kid? Like, I just saw the little guy riding by on a deer wearing a hat and-"

"Dude, he's a gnome. You can't be saying shit like that, it's unbelievably offensive."

"Wait I didn't-"

Some more artwork by @cartalige.bsky.social for my Tales of the Valiant campaign.

Lonnie Murdaugh. Carpenter and Exorcist has long known that regular pay and a nice home can be hard to come by, and was recently accepted as a Novituri of New Danos.

A "Protector of the City".

TBH, both Bluesky and Twitter are NOT art galleries; they are a continuous scroll where it is quite likely that the majority of your followers will not see what you post.

Reposting is absolutely normal if we want to reach new followers. People should know that.
😭🙏
lmao ok

i kinda always think it's annoying, but idk, maybe i just want to be seen

Update to this situation, Rayne is still dealing with some trouble here, and may not have their accounts back fully.

If you get a link from them, if you get a file from them, do not click it.
I have been able to force my way back into the accounts they showed and am changing others as we speak but beware a new scam on discord.

I felt sowm thing was off but I'm so used to helping out with games I should have trusted my judgement

Question for the GMs, writers, and worldbuilding folks out there;

Plagues. They've happened naturally, been used in warfare, and no matter what cause havoc and death whenever they go.

Does your setting have any characters or creatures that are closely linked to plagues, ala Count Orlok?

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

Just did this.

"Rude" is essentially a shadowban and is capriciously applied.

"Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose."

Dudes, your CEO was shrieking "Waffles!" at people.

Just to reassure anyone who has seen this and uses our TTRPG AI Blocklist, we do not use LLM / AI Detectors.

They're just not reliable, so for us it comes down to A) people who just outright admit it, or B) talking with other artists / writers and seeing if we can see telltales signs of AI use.
Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

No clue! But I can see it.

You take a person fascinated with the human mind, and more specifically, how the mind works with people who commit crimes violent or otherwise.

Give em some creativity, and a TTRPG system that lets me make and play something involving writing that aaaand...there you go.
The fact they are plain people is what lets them be underestimated option enough to get away with things, too.

I also considered criminal Psychology, but never pursued it.

Wonder what the rate of TTRPG folk is that have that same pipeline?

"The status quo allows for horrible injustices, and needs to be combatted! To do so, I've killed a bunch of babies!"

"Wow, the baby killing guy has a point. But we still need to stop him!"

*Ten episodes later*

"We stopped him! Now for everything to go right back to the way it was!"
Villains having a good point, but then they suddenly do something OOC monstrous because they need to give a reason for the heroes to defeat them.

Bonus points if the thing the villain was right about (eg. an injustice) is then never brought up again and addressed after the villain is defeated.

Question for the GMs, writers, and worldbuilding folks out there;

What is a trope that you are sick to death of and why?

I'll start; the concept of a genius criminal / serial killer / person responsible for a conspiracy. It's not just statistically incorrect, its dangerous representation.

We're experiencing a transformation in the popular understanding of how conspiracies and armies of minions come into being. I think a lot of the big narratives going forward are going to be about expecting geniuses or good reasons and finding none.

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.

this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

I’m just over it. It’s too much for one set of hands.

I’m about hopecore team efforts these days.
