@Nerdcognito Your backstory needs to answer why you are one of the crew going off to address the inciting incident. People tend to forget that a level 1 character is essentially just a regular dude taken off the street. That goes for DMs too.

@TheTrinketMage Not a rule, but a guideline: intend to win deciseviely. Corollary, player removal is simply interaction and there shall be no bitching about alpha striking you the turn before your non-deterministic storm combo with 10 counterspells worth of protection.

Taking the steelman position on trigger warnings, doesn't it make way more sense to integrate them into a search and discovery system as a filter? Toggle off anything with gore and never see it, rather than raise your blood pressure seeing everything that is an issue for you.

@argosaxelcaos You're not crazy, but it was an idealized version of a "hag".

It's the lighting. I'm willing to bet the model is entirely spot on, the problem is the creative direction to do "realistic" lighting instead of manipulating the light to create the desired impression. Games are art and art is not beholden to strict reality.

The new God of War Faye spin-off is getting huge backlash for making the in-game character way uglier than Deborah Ann Woll, the voice and motion-capture actress behind Faye. Sony did it again, you can thank the usual consultants

@SaffronOlive WotC needs to feel more comfortable reprinting cards. Especially with 7 sets a year, we don't need them to all be new with new parasitic mechanics.

@LuciousAmoris It doesnt actually work that way because you still have to prompt engineer the LLM to get it to give an appropriate answer in the context of the character. I have considered using an LLM as a glorified lorem ipsum generator though.

One of the labs I work in has an unidentified chemical in a bucket. It is the exact color of Lemon Gatorade. The intrusive thoughts come for me.

@ReviewsPossum Too linear. Make it every power of 2, so he gets a taste of rewards early and then gets nothing for ages.

@georgecursor What part of "creative direction" sounded like an excuse to you, rather than identifying that they are pursuing the wrong thing?

@georgecursor You seem to have failed to understand my point. I'm not saying they didn't make the character ugly. I'm identifying the mechanism they used. I am attacking the very assumption that what they did is justified.

This is the kind of factoid that makes me tell people that if they want to write fantasy, they should study history. If this doesn't give you plot ideas, you might be in trouble.

King of Sweden figured this out 500+ years ago to price cargo value for import taxes 1. You declare the assessed value of your asset, you pay the tax on your assessed value 2. The king has the right to buy the asset at the declared value Lindy

@fandompulse @InfinitaleComic WotC has an obsession with puns. There's probably something quite broken with their work culture. It's not just a pride thing.
