This is awesome! The original was already a cool depiction of a fun classic mini, but you've given it so much more character here

This is far from the only problem with genAI, but it's a particular thing that's worth emphasising here.

Thanks Fiona! This is all super helpful 😊

Eughhh this sucks. I keep hearing about this sort of thing, done by clients or people within the industry. It's draining just knowing it's happening without directly seeing it, I can't imagine how exhausting and frustrating it must be to be on the receiving end of it. I'm sorry, solidarity.

Cheers Markus! I assume you're talking about Vaesen?

Thanks Kat! I love the vibe of Vaesen so it's good to know the system is chill so I can focus on the horror 😈

#TTRPG folks: Have you played Vaesen or The One Ring? How easy are they to pick up?

At @scienceandsorcery.bsky.social we've done collabs with the Crab Museum, Museum of Homelessness and Vagina Museum, as well as shows at the RI and Cheltenham Science Festival (not sure if I've missed any off the list 😅)

Absolutely, before I got RPGeeks into the NHM for Playful by Nature I had been trying to get approval for an in-house "BiodiversiDnD" show. I didn't manage to get institutional buy-in for that, but developing New Genes Please with Shamini was awesome and the Geeks did a great show!

I've done quite a lot of that kind of work, it was what got me into AP in the first place! I was trying to set up an AP show at the museum I worked at, and it all snowballed from there.

I'm excited to meet these young science writers at the start of their journey! I'm going to give them some real talk about the wonderful potential and serious responsibility of communicating science: how we talk about it, what audiences we engage and who we platform.

Just wrapped on another TV documentary! Can't tell you what just yet, but it involves some truly bizarre stories of science and history...

What's extra frustrating is I could see a place in podcastland for a show with actual human performers in character as dogs. You could even do a post-production Vtuber type thing if video was essential.

I had a blast pulling off a VERY SERIOUS AND NOT AT ALL SILLY robbery with the lovely folks at RWD using @gshowitt.bsky.social's Honey Heist system. Big thanks to the whole team and my fellow guest @thewhimsyblerd.bsky.social for such a fun adventure! Ep1 (of 2): shows.acast.com/a-rendezvous...

Look mum, I'm on TV! 📺😱 I really enjoyed being part of Disaster Autopsy Season 2, talking about the causes and human impacts of engineering disasters like Bhopal, Rana Plaza and others. Plus there's cool (non-AI) CGI models! Coming soon on National Geographic: www.natgeotv.com/uk/shows/nat...

This has got to be the vibiest place I've ever run DnD 😍 🏰🎲🧝🏾‍♂️🧙🏽‍♂️🧟🧛🏻‍♀️ Giving new players a taste of roleplaying games with @moonshineadventure.bsky.social was a pretty cool way to spend a day.
