"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

The commercial core of the tabletop RPG industry is overseen by a shithead, and every day is a good day to find an interesting replacement for one of their products.

You can now order print on demand physical copies of my cyberpunk Panic Engine ttrpg **Bite the Hand** in (nearly) every country! Details on our website. For US folks, I still recommend Tabletop Bookshelf, it's faster and you also get the PDF. www.spellbookgaming.com/bite-the-hand
A movie poster style image with a black background and only red items. Top to bottom: Text: "BITE THE HAND" in a glitchy font. A robotic hand holding a human skull in a digital glitchy filter. Text: "Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Will you stay down on your knees?" in a bold font. In a very thin font, production credits.

Surprise! I wrote a little add on for Bite the Hand, and it's free! (or you can toss me a few bucks) It's got 30 NPC stat blocks, a few bits of worldbuilding inspo, and some tools to help you make more NPCs. Go get it! spellbookgaming.itch.io/hacked-perso...
A book cover entitled "Hacked Personnel Files". Entirely grayscale.

The title is in a large glitchy font aligned in the top left.

More text along the bottom says "a compendium of NPCs for Bite the Hand by Alexander Vigna."

The background is a highly pixelated face with a black bar over the eyes. Text inside the bar reads "Early Access Version 0.9"

Pssst, did you know Bite the Hand has a really open third party license? It's basically legalese for "make whatever the heck you want!" That means you can make modules, custom classes, and all sort of add-ons! I know I will, you should too! Get it here: spellbookgaming.itch.io/bite-the-hand

Four Pillars Gaming published hundred of AI-generated profiles over the past four months and when people asked to be taken down, they doubled down, defended their process, and refused. The ramifications of hallucinatory LLM "histories" threaten to erode truth and destroy the historical record.
