I’m in this game! Having a DM that draws really well feels like being exposed to an embarrassment of riches. But he is refusing to draw my OC! 😭

The weather begins to cool. The leaves are starting to change. It can only mean one thing: it's time to get the rules for the next WGG project into their initial layout.

Just reviewed the first issue of brand-new Swords Against! Magazine. While the selection of stories is a touch eclectic, and two of the stories weren't to my tastes, on the whole it's a strong start for a magazine centering anti-authority themes and scrappy protagonists.

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.

A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.
