Since I'm sure you don't want chaos, and you want to help end crime in America by letting a private company use AI to track your every motion, I know you won't help any of these organizations.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

When authoritarian regimes collapse, their leaders experience symbolic deaths, largely through the destruction & removal of monuments that they've built to glorify themselves and affirm their power. Sometimes called "iconoclasm," who gets a statue or monument is always a symbolic struggle for power.

Built on theft is real, ongoing, and glided past by too many. This is an ILLEGAL enterprise. And the settlements, as with Anthropic and writers, are chaotic in the extreme, minimal as sanctions, and will NOT stop them.

You work to create something. You get to decide whether to give it to someone else. If it can be reproduced, you decide what to do with the reproductions. This gives you a reason to do the work. Oops! Nope. Techbros say the work you did is theirs. Not because you agreed. Just because they want it.

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, Baldur's Gate 3, and Fury of the Forsaken all use a 5 part structure of three open sandboxes, linked by multiple choice funnels, framed by an intro and a conclusion/final battle to provide story cohesion. It's a great scaffolding for #TTRPG adventure design:

Prepping to run a bit of The Black Company.
The Temple of the Unseen
The Forsberg campaign. Soulcatcher, Shapeshifter, Moonbiter, and the Limper, the Lady's champions, spend more effort and energy sabotaging each other than pursuing the Rebel. The Circle of Eighteen, leaders of the Rebellion, smell blood.
Forsberg is a kingdom ready to fall.
The Black Company is garrisoned in the fortress and village of Deal, a hilltop sentinel overlooking the road to Oar, a massive city 20 miles away. Imperial regulars under the Limper hold Oar but not steadily. Rebel insurgents act almost with impunity.
Soulcatcher, the Company's patron, pays a visit to Deal. A mission needs carrying out. The Lieutenant picks the
players' Soldiers to handle it.
ORDFR
The sorceress called Hollow is an apprentice to Harden, one of the most powerful wizards of the Circle of Eighteen.
Reports say Hollow found the ruins of an ancient temple not far from Deal and brought out of it something of power.
The Soldiers are to learn what if anything Hollow brought out of the temple. Seize it. And bring it to Deal for
Soulcatcher.
About the Temple
The reports say Hollow found a Temple of the Unseen. A dozen Temples of the Unseen were built in the Domination to house relics of the most persistent and troublesome foes of the Dominator. At least, those he did not enslave as the Taken.
When the White Rose threw down the Domination, her forces demolished the temples and all they contained. When the Lady broke free after centuries entombed, her forces found the few temples that the White Rose overlooked and reduced them to dust. There should be no more Temples of the Unseen.
It seems they all missed one.
