TTRPG folks: Lynne is one of the laid-off Paizo workers. She has complex health issues and needs the community's help staying housed and insured. She is also my good friend and deserves to be secure and safe. PLEASE DONATE/BOOST!

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now. NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

The Sphinx of Black Quartz from Creatures & Curios is possibly my nerdiest D&D creation... for a very specific flavour of nerd 🖤🔠
 An illustration of crouching sphinx made from black quartz with a feminine face and gold jewellery flanked by its D&D magic item description.

Sphinx of Black Quartz
Wondrous item, very rare
This small figurine of a sphinx made from black quartz emanates a judgmental aura. You and up to four other willing creatures can touch the sphinx at the same time, each stating a solemn vow that binds you all until death. If a creature bound in this way willingly breaks its vow, it instantly takes 10d10 psychic damage as long as it is on the same plane of existence as the figurine. Additionally, all creatures who vowed on the sphinx at the same time as the target instantly become aware that the creature has broken its vow.
Once the figurine has been used to witness a vow, it can’t be used again until the following dawn.

We were also affected by this auto opt-in feature. Several of our PDFs had AI-generated alt text placed on images without us knowing, and a kind HPP community member informed us of the issue. The PDFs have since been amended. We are firmly against the use of generative AI in our work.

Strike a power pose, it's Monday. #MondayMotivation
A bright, confident Robin stands atop a log, its chest puffed out in full display of its orange-red breast. The bird tilts its head slightly upwards, as if preparing to take on the world with determination. Its slender legs are planted firmly, giving it the appearance of striking a victorious power pose. The surrounding mossy log and blurred green background provide a natural stage, emphasising the robin’s bold stance.

Lost in the rolling fields... 🗺️ A watercolor I made to celebrate Humblewood: Beyond the Canopy. I'm SO excited for this game! ❤️
A watercolor painting of characters from the Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting "Humblewood: Beyond the Canopy." The painting depicts three animal folk adventurers lost in a golden field. There is a blue sky with pink tinted clouds behind them. The three characters are a civet named Zaya who is holding a map and looking confused, a blue and gold macaw named Shine who is looking irritated, and a weasel named Orlo who is in sitting cross-legged in scale mail armor. The weasel is looking at a butterfly which has landed on the pommel of his sword. Behind the party of adventurers, there is a tall sign posted pointed in various directions, with the labels "Tanglewilds," "Alderheart," and "Crystal Expanse."
