I see roads of white
White stop signs too
They seem to say,
Go home you fool
And I think to myself
Should have got winter tires

Coch Castle is gorgeous! I love dipping into the real history of our fantasy inspirations, and this view of the courtyard captured me immediately. Great episode by Shadiversity as well.

Have you ever run a bottle episode, or maybe even a whole campaign, using a time travel or flashback element that requires the players to switch character sheets as they go back and forth?
Handing over a lower or higher level version of the current characters sounds fun for a session.

If you're new please change your pfp from anything but the default as soon as you're able! We know there's an influx rn but a lot of people are wary of follows from blank accounts because of the history of anonymous twitter access being abusive. It'll be easier to make friends!

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.
