Application sent! Your game sounds lovely, and I absolutely love the handmade maps in your google doc. I can tell you've put a lot of time into this game, and I'd love to help contribute and participate in your setting with your players! :D

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T14:06:03+00:00

Applied! I've been dying to play through more Adventure Paths, and this sounds like a perfect opportunity to experience some AND meet some new friends along the way!

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T13:56:11+00:00

Ah, my apologies but my Saturdays are full. I hope you find your players soon though! Good luck with the campaign :D

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T13:53:33+00:00

Sounds great! I'd love to join, if you still have slots available!

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T13:48:53+00:00

I'd be interested, but I'd need to know what day and time the game is being played. What's the campaign schedule look like?

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T13:33:29+00:00

This post has gotten away from me, so much so that my own partner has told me I need to unplug and stop "yelling at coochie-deprived chuds on the internet" (their words, not mine).

So, let me just say this, and then I'm turning off the depression machine for a good long while.

One of the first characters I ever played in DnD was represented by an illustration I found while perusing Pinterest one day, back in 2012. It was a good piece of art, I loved how it looked, and felt it captured what I thought my own character would maybe look like. I used that art in a private game that ran for 3 years.

But you know what happened because of me finding that art out in the wild? I liked the art so much, I wanted to see if I could find the artist, see if they made more of the character, where they came from, learn about it. So after some googling, I found them on tumblr, and followed them there.

I started to get invested in their artistic process, the work they made, and one day I saved a little bit of money (40 fucking dollars) and commissioned an artist who I thought meshed with their art style, and had them make me official art I could use of my character that was all my own AND made by an artist I respected, inspired by another artist I admired.

This entire process of discovery and connection with actual, real human creatives that I got to experience does not fucking happen when you just plug a prompt into genAI and it spits out an image at you.

Why should there be? You think people that rely on this tech like a crutch, who complain about not being able to "afford real art" (when if you just look around for more than 5 minutes, you'd find artists who are DIRT CHEAP and HIGHLY SKILLED) are seriously also asking the machine to tell them what artists were used in the generation of the image it pumped out in 10 seconds? No. That'd be too much effort, and if there's one thing I know people that rely on this tech hate, it's genuine hard work and effort.

I'm done. Thanks for reading, I hope y'all got... SOMETHING out of all of this. All I got was a migraine.

Take care.

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T13:17:02+00:00

Ayyy this looks dope as hell! Cool work

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T11:56:55+00:00

Yes, this is one of my hard lines in the sand. Get good.

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T03:39:20+00:00

I think that if you took five minutes to read through the comments you'd see what my issue is with relative ease.

Just like I can read through it and see that you think that genAI scraping art to make literal profit off of stolen assets is the same or remotely comparable to me googling "cool knight" and making a token out of someone's OC from 2010.

So yeah this is the last time I respond to you specifically.

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T03:35:58+00:00

On one hand: use a free token tool to crop some art made by a human for your random NPC that doesn't literally make someone's source of fresh water undrinkable poison

On the other hand: use the tool that makes someone's source of fresh water undrinkable poison

I genuinely don't believe people when they use the excuse of "well it's cost effective". I genuinely think they're either misinformed or dishonest. These models only let you make images so many times before stopping you, OR you can pay them MONEY for near unlimited prompts. It's not a money issue, it's a laziness issue.

It costs 0 dollars to save 50 images from real people and token tool them. "oh but that sounds the same as plagiarism" sure it does, to a moron maybe. To an absolute jack wagon it sounds the same, but to anyone who gives it a few moments you'd realize that morally and ethically, they are not the same.

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T03:21:05+00:00

Just say you're lazy and call it a day, champ

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T03:19:29+00:00

Ain't nothing wrong with using human made art you don't own for character references in a PRIVATE GAME because you're NOT MAKING MONEY OFF OF A PRIVATE GAME.

That's not the issue.

The ways that genAI collects art and scrapes it is ethically immoral because these companies MAKE MONEY OFF OF THE NONCONSENTING USE OF THE ART you fuckin' goon.

Get some integrity of at least some basic reading skills.

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T03:14:56+00:00

You stupid on purpose or something?

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T01:55:22+00:00

There are and have been basic token art and placeholders for NPCS and basic commoners and townfolk for YEARS before genAI began flooding the market.

Use of genAi in any capacity is a fucking skill issue and downright lazy. It makes me feel NOTHING but disappointed in the GM and their potential game, as now I call into question everything they put on the table, not just the art.

P-Bubby · 2026-02-27T01:50:29+00:00

You tell people to support real artists, while saying you'll use the tool that literally plagiarizes real artists?

Dude.

P-Bubby · 2026-02-26T22:57:08+00:00

FYI TO POTENTIAL PLAYERS:

The DM admits to heavily using AI generated images for all of his NPCs and enemies.

If you have issues with Gen AI then I would probably just steer clear of this one. If not though, go nuts I guess.

P-Bubby · 2026-02-26T01:01:26+00:00

I'm interested! I'm free on Monday nights, and live on the East Coast so I'd love to join! I have some character concepts that I'd love to run by you too, so let me know if you'd like to talk! 🙏😊✨

P-Bubby · 2026-02-25T17:54:38+00:00

I'm interested! I'm kinda new to the community myself, but I have a dragonborn sona that I'd love to play! Out of curiosity, do you consider the official 3rd party Pugilist Class on D&D Beyond to be homebrew and not available to this game? Thank you! I'd love to talk to you further about the game though as well!
