As an historian, author, & game designer, data entry regurgitation, commonly called AI, in particular "generative" AI, is directly oppositional to my best interests & the best interests of my communities, colleagues, & customers. I don't want it in anything, anywhere. I will never use it willingly.

I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

My aims for TTRPGs in 2026 are fairly simple:
- Get 1+ multiplayer TTRPG to the table that isn't D&D 5e
- Release the yet-to-be-released episodes of #5mn5e
- Chat with more cool designers about their games
- Publish at least 1 of the games I've been working on for... over a year at this point
