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.

TTRPG designers: Never feel bad about that one minor typo in your printed game. I just found one today in the wild while reading a game. It made me feel so much better about the typos I've slip into first printings. Don't think of the mistake you made. Think of the comfort you provided to others. 😅🙏

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.

AI-generated profiles of TTRPG designers ignite fury across social media

4 Pillars Gaming’s new website adds AI-generated slop to an already ephemeral online historical record.
