Of Gods and Gamemasters (Jack, he/him)

Master of myth Seanchai of stories I'm funny and I try to be kind. I drink coffee and I know things. I build worlds, gods, and villains. https://www.ofgodsandgamemasters.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@OfGodsandGamemasters #dnd #tov #ttrpg #mythology

One of the more inhumane incidents in Norse mythology (which is saying something) is when Odin manipulates a bunch of slaves into killing each other with their scythes while out harvesting the hay for their master (an evil giant, as if there were any doubts about that). #wyrdwednesday 1/2

I need your help! If you have been better than me at saving/bookmarking good threads, blogs, articles etc. explaining how LLMs function scientifically or critiquing/assessing their use in a complex way (ie not just calling them “plagiarism machines,” tho I do agree), can you share your links here?

As we enter the last week of Hugo voting, a reminder that October Daye is up for Best Series, and winning would be made SO MUCH SWEETER by the fact that I could take my trophy and inform the room "I'm going to Disneyland," then ACTUALLY DO IT, since Disneyland will be less than a mile away. WOW!

This morning, we made some big Plotweaver announcements at the Gen Con Opening Ceremony! We are excited to announce our partnership with Earthborne Games, and Keith Baker and Jenn Ellis! Not to mention The Plotweaver Setting Search judged by Keith Baker: Coming Next Year! More news coming soon 🤗

You’re never going to get rid of an adversarial GM/player relationship if there’s no other way to have fun as a GM than to see player reactions. Sure some will have fun seeing positive reactions… others will not. The way to break that is to give them enough tools to have fun too, imo.
