"I had to use AI in my module because I can't afford an artist!" Did you even ask? The sheer amount of creators out there that are looking for people to write lore for their maps, art, characters, items, etc. is staggering. Put out a call & ask for shares. You'd be amazed at the results.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

i for one have full confidence in the trump administration's ability to adequately refit a plane donated by a foreign government into a highly secure mobile command center for the united states executive, following their unquestionably successful renovation of A Large Pool of Water
President Trump on Friday displayed the Boeing 747-8 that will serve as the new US presidential jet.

Whenever people say things like “oh people are just ignorant and fear mongering about data centers” they’re always punching at some rando online but also they’re lashing out at the NAACP and communities in Memphis who are directly voicing how this affects them.

Sorry, I had thoughts. It will most likely happen again. #blog 💖 1. I love D&D, it is my *comfort* game. 2. Not everything needs to be made "D&D compatible". 3. We all have got to start playing diverse, smaller, and weirder systems if the hobby and industry are gonna get past the D&D juggernaut.
Everything Doesn’t Need to be D&D Compatible | urbanbohemian
