There, much better. Alas my copy of V:tM went on a walkabout. Unclear where it presently is.
World of Darkness games rearranged so their first and second edition variants are side by side.

DID SOMEONE SAY PROMETHEAN? (Granted Geist is my favorite but there were a lot of good things in Promethean, some of which made it into Exalted 3rd Ed as Liminal exalts)
Partial shot of books on a bookshelf of a bunch of World of Darkness games. Of note are Demon: the Fallen, Geist: the Sin-Eaters, and Promethean: the created

By way of example:
Room 27 - The Hallways
Creatures: 1d6 Priests, Stone Golem
Treasure: Masterwork Cutlery (40 gp), Fine China (100 gp)
This hallway behind the priest’s chambers is filled with amenities for the priests and is their general “relaxation” area. There are a few benches and other recreational equipment back here. This hall also leads to the bath and toilet area for use when the rooms above are occupied with “guests”. This also serves as their kitchen and food preparation area complete with a small furnace (that vents outside) along with a preparation area.
At any given time there will be 1d6 priests resting here, and a stone golem (carved to look like a small Gragoth Rul) guarding the secret entrance looking for anyone who is not dressed like or escorted by a priest.
Creatures: 1d6 Priests, 1 Stone Golem (p. 222)
Treasure: Masterwork cutlery (40 gp), Fine China (100 gp)

I cannot believe I am doing this on NYE, but a few things: 1) Opus 4.5 doesn't appear in the paper PDF. 2) The JSON they're publishing on that page reveals that the low confidence is 1.8 hours all the way up to 20 hours. The json also has a USD field which I assume is cost, and, it's high.
JSON blob with the following text:

Still has a problem with creating multiple arms, I see.
An AI Generated ICE Agent confronts the author. One left hand is raised, the other left hand clutches something that looks like pepper spray. His right arm comes up from off screen, also holding something akin to pepper spray.

Oil lamps are neat.
Small lit oil lamp on a table. The lamp casts a 12 part shadow that looks like leaves on the table. It is night and the rest of the background is dark
