2024 according to Goodreads

I feel like I have cheated since there are some comic books on the list. However, the Cleric Quintet counts as one book even though it is five, so I do feel a little vindicated.

Getting my writing on

A couple of weeks ago, I dropped off the face of the social media earth. I finally kicked the habit of endless doom scrolling, which killed my ability to think fairly straight.

A benefit has been that I have started writing my Fistandantilus campaign again. So far, I have covered Skullcap and I have started on Ulgaard. Hopefully, I will be able to run this in my gaming group at one point in a not too distant future.

I am giving a slight 5E flavor, not beacuse Wizards of the Coast are worth supporting, but simply because it is the system we use in our group. If I end up putting it online, I will probably remove any 5E references so people can use whatever system they like.

AI generated pictures

I was messing around with ChatGPT because I needed som epictures for a moduæe I am writing. Instead of stealing the usual art works from internet, I figured I would see what AI could do for me.

Now, I use the free version, so I don’t get a lot quesries, but I think if I could ask the AI to make specific changes, such as skin color, facial hair etc it could generate some pretty good content.

Here are the images the AI generated. I think they are ok, but I would have liked to be able to modify them quite a bit, so they would better represent the intenden charaters.

The greatest YoutTube video ever made

Mr. Welch is one of my favorite YouTubers. In celebration of the 50th anniversary he managed to unite the who’s who of D&D YouTubers in a celebration of D&D.

Mr. Welch has never produced a bad video, but this one is out of the world. Behold, the greates YouTube video.

Using Vecna

I think there some people out there, who don’t like the stories told in 5th edition D&D. If you are old enough, you can see how some of the releases are just regugitated versions of better products.

That being said, the 5th edition designers are not afraid you using what is at their disposal, including Vecna. Personally, I think you have to be very careful using these mega characters too much, as the mystery surrounding them diasppears. Wizards do not see it that way based on what I have seen about Vecna: The Eve of Ruin.

I am not going to buy this book, but I will keep my eye on Professor Dungeon Master to see if he posts about sales figures as he sometimes does.

Google Web stories

I am playing around with Googles Web stories plug in, and even though I enjoy messing with, I have come to realize that, I have no idea what to use it for. In a way, it’s like turning the blog into friggin’ Facebook, which by the way is so not ok.

ChatGPT as DM?

I just asked ChatGPT to write me three modules that would fit into my Dragonlance campaign, and let me tell you that was crazy stuff. It was full fledged modules, but it gave me a pretty nice synopsis for future work.

All we need now is an AI that can replicate players, and we never have to bother with RPGs ever again.
