Rhetoric like this reminds me of my favorite scene from Voyage of the Dawn Treader, a slaver complaining “this will make a beggar out of me!” when the prince declares slavery illegal.

Thank you! I gotta give it to Kezia. I love her design.

Afraid I only know Rin. Your vgen doesn’t list OCs and your gallery is almost all commissions.

Developing a Foundry VTT system for my RPG. Feels amazing when I figure out something that stumped me.

Pretty much the exact goblin PC'S. I usually go for adorable and small goblin girls

Oooooh, so she's now an astral fan dancer? Instead of using that giant censer? OK, I'm sold.

Made a tier list when assessing the silhouettes.

Aw, I loved Qoyla's design! Though, this one is amazing, too!

I decided to do a silhouette study of my abundance of fox-person characters, many of which are for #Pathfinder2e or #ttrpg Three of them belong to a friend but it felt wrong to leave them out.
Silhouettes of 18 fox-person characters
1st Row: Luos Lowe, Kita ASA, Seung Na-Ri, Kageko, Adam, Gyan
2nd Row: Kiku Kosan, Miko Kosan, Roulette Kosan, Sayuki Kosan, Kiyoko Kosan, Jess Kosan
3rd Row: Ryuuga Kosan, Akari Kosan, Shimizu Kosan, Kaguya Kosan, Mimi Kosan, Mimi Kosan

Yeah....this was one of the many things that turned me off on PSO2. PSO's awesome high-tech science fantasy aesthetic was what attracted me to the original game.

Monster Hunter World's summer skins are the only ones I can think of that they put effort into making them look interesting and fit the characters and setting. I love Alma's fishnet shawl.

I tend to lose interest in hero games the moment they do this, starting with Team Fortress 2. Excellent cohesive aesthetics designed for clarity and readability, only to be ruined by lame hats and gaudy gacha trinkets.

I have this problem. I try not to play favorites, but if a player gives me great material to work with, it’s hard not to gravitate towards running with it

I can only play organized play unfortunately

I mean, it says it in the name "awakened animal." Beasts are not animals. Solarian Flare would work for maw laser.

Creatures like this make me sad that beasts are not valid options for awakened animals. I'd totally play an awakened tashtari solarian.

I'm sorry, but Starfinder Second Edition just wins. Hands down. It's the best tabletop system.

I mean, how can any other system compete with fucking laser wolves.

No. Stop. Don't argue. You've lost. The Alpha fires a fucking RAINBOW BEAM out of its maw. Nothing can beat that.

That looks awesome, but man it's really busy!

If it's a leveraged buyout then EA is basically dead anyway. Companies typically do leveraged buyouts to liquidate a business's assets.

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Remember how I said you should be making phone calls OFTEN to make your voice heard?

Do that. NOW. Cis people, if you consider yourself, allies prove it.

Demand your reps halt this shit. If you have a GOP representative remind them who they represent with outrage

Interesting. Reminds me of the Book of Sand.

SPINE has been my passion project for six months or so. It really took over my brain, and I couldn't get it out until I made it. That said, it's not your typical commercially viable ttrpg.

If you would RT or QRT the original post, I'd be sincerely grateful. I'd like the world to see SPINE.

NEW (FREE) GAME FORTHCOMING:

SPINE is a dark solo ttrpg about losing yourself in a book.

In SPINE, you are a researcher who has inherited a strange book from an estranged relative…

Oh god, it’s worse. This is Open Ai dictating to the studios they can “opt out” of OUTPUTS. This isn’t even about the training, as Open Ai thinks it’s all theirs to use for free.

The hubris of these thieves is just obscene. I can’t see them not getting sued for this, it’s just that ridiculous.
The new process would mean movie studios and other intellectual property owners would have to explicitly ask OpenAl not to include their copyrighted material in videos
Sora creates, according to the report.
