Every job will have some sort of crunch time. Even just staying in a programming position, the definition of “crunch time” will vary wildly. I’m lucky enough that “crunch time” just means that I set aside all my other tasks until I fix whatever is on fire, but I still get to go home on time unless I really want the overtime pay.
I don’t envy positions with forced 80-hour workweek crunch times. That’s a sign of bad management.
Because I am addicted to solving puzzles.
You joke, but the skills learned in DMing are incredibly useful on a resume. Run a few Adventures League games and include that and your recruiter probably will be impressed. It’s easy to teach people how to do their job, but it’s very difficult to teach someone how to lead people and think on your feet.
Not from comicbook.com, but close. Looks like you’re right: just more anti-AI nonsense. I wonder if there was this much vitriol when Photoshop first released.
I use Stable Diffusion daily. I’m vehemently against people spouting nonsensical fear mongering against AI. But I completely agree with the author here: a company using AI-generated images in a published book that they charge money for is despicable. AI should be a tool artists choose to use to enhance their workflow, just like Photoshop and tablets. It cannot and should not replace them entirely.
I had no idea that Hasbro had done this. Have they released a statement trying to justify this, or are they just hoping that nobody will care?
Good. Let Hasbro sink themselves with another failed VTT.
AZovya’s RPG Tools for characters.
Cheese Daddy’s landscapes for everything else.
Sounds like it’s time to steal the concept of minions from 4e. Minions are specifically meant to help players feel powerful while still posing a credible threat.
Looks great! I use a similar system in my Obsidian notebook for my campaign. You might consider connecting it to the Stable Horde for text and image generation instead of ChatGPT. It’s a bit more complicated, but totally free.
