We just finished filming the Daggerheart episode of Dungeon Delve. I’m really coming around to this system. Combat is SO cool.

Daggerheart is really fun. I had a hard time adjusting to it at first and what I could do with fear. (Mainly comes from being so d&d brained) But I started to understand after a few hours in. I’m excited to play more.

The problem with using AI in TTRPG’s is that even if you’re using it to “organize” information or as a “joke”
You’re still using it. You’re depriving yourself and sucking the life from your game.

I will continue to believe that AI has zero place in TTRPG’s.

I’ve had the idea to do an episode of dungeon delve where we test how “good” AI in TTRPG’s actually is, with the intent to show how lazy and boring it is.

But using AI is still using AI.
Even if it’s “the enemy” of the video. It would likely encourage more people to use it rather than the opposite

Haha no. There were a lot of people who are very positive!
It’s just a general thing I see with the Pathfinder community, this is also coming from somebody who does a live actual play of PF2e.
I think a lot of my feelings stem from that.
