"How did you get into ttrpgs?" Started with the art of Planescape in ~1999, sat through PA playing with Chris Perkins on YT, which made me decide to visit an LGS to play D&D 4e in 2008. In 2009, friends asked me to run a game (~11 ppl), which lasted until 2017. I've been drawing comms since 2016.

It’s telling that Jonestown becomes a punchline but sex cults for the wealthy never get the same treatment; they don’t get mocked as proof of their adherents’ stupidity.

Screenshot: Out of ten men, one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent.

None of them speak up. Later, nine of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective, the laughter, the silence, the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say "most men are the same." this is what they mean: not that every man harasses women, but that most men help protect the system that does.

Felt I needed to go back and fix the head's dimensions relative to the neck and overall perspective, and got rid of the back fan (superfluous). Also wanted to re-detail the head so it reads more dragon-y than previous. #fantasyart #dragon #ttrpgart #creatureart #WIPart

Normalize talking to your group about what you want to happen/explore topically in the game, even if it's meant to be a "surprise". There's nothing worse than poorly planned out and assumed plot twists.

This guy is truly admitting this in public? Wow. 😶 Reminds me of this quote: ‘What is Huxley’s horrific vision? It is a world where there is no need for books to be banned, because no one can be bothered to read one.’ — Marcus Sedgwick, The Monsters We Deserve
In response, Huang agreed that student cognition is getting much worse.

“Try to get a kid to do long division right now. The multiplication table is starting to be forgotten. Doing square roots, my goodness,” Huang said. “Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter?”

“That’s my question for you,” Klein replied.

“Yeah. I don’t think it does. I don’t think it does,” Huang said in response. “We’re going to discover new [skills],” the CEO continued, “just maybe not those.”

The interview then took a bizarre turn, with Huang admitting that he lacks some surprisingly basic life skills himself.“There are a lot of skills that don’t matter,” he said. “My first confession, I actually don’t know my address… one day I had to pump gas — it was a few years ago. They needed my ZIP code, and I panicked. I didn’t know my ZIP code. I don’t know my telephone number. I forget these things. I can live with it.”

Huang’s point, after some pushback from Klein, is that “we’re going to lose some finer intellectual dexterity, but we’re going to be better systems thinkers,” because AI will take care of those mundane details — like remembering your own home address — for you.
