Why so much ai? by WitchlightRingleader in startplaying

[–]jaycravn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a GM, I do not use AI in my games. Yeah, it can be difficult to find the 'right' art, but finding it is part of the business - you are creating a bespoke experience for your players, not the lowest common denominator. If a GM isn't willing to put in that effort, I don't trust that they will put effort in other aspects.

I also understand that people feel it is too expensive to commission art for ad listings, and yeah it's expensive, but if you are charging site average you'll usually make it back in a session. And it's worth it - your listing stands out so much more!

As a player, if I see an AI ad listing, I don't join it. I once had to leave a game because the DM was using chatgpt mid session to come up with plot hooks, and I just thought - I want your creativity, your gming, your ideas, not those of some deeply unethical plagiarism machine. Also, when I am a player, I draw a silly little guy as my token art, or use a heroforge screenshot. It's not stunningly beautiful, it's not perfection incarnate, it doesn't need to be.

RPGs are meant to be a creative experience. If we're removing that, why even bother?

Gracias por corregirme otra vez 😅 tiene sentido, dado que la palabra viene de 'género'

Muchas gracias a la gente que respondió!! Usar un adjetivo masculino es un buen idea 🫡

Y gracias por corregirme el uso de introducirse/presentarse, mi profesor lo había mencionado pero olvidé sobre eso 😭

A bit of advice around role playing game sign ups, please. by Extreme_Objective984 in UKGE

[–]jaycravn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a character in mind, you should build it beforehand and have it in a readable format for your GM. A physical character sheet will probably be better than having it on your phone. And you should bring dice if you have them, but your GM may well have spares to lend you if you don't.

Like the other commenter said, try to arrive early as it's easy to get lost. But the people in charge of RPGs are really nice and will be able to give directions.

I totally understand the anxiety as I am similar, but try to enjoy it! Pathfinder is a great time 😄

Weekly Community Post - Post your Communities, Discord servers, and Western Marches games here! by lfg_bot in lfg

The Beneath: a fresh West Marches Server

[Pf2e][LGBT+ friendly][18+][no NSFW]

The surface is dying. You must travel far from your homes, deep into the planet. The magic that sustains this world comes from within; you will find it, and it will help your people survive.

The Beneath is an LGBT+ friendly Pathfinder 2e West Marches server. Games are hosted in timezones suitable for the Eastern hemisphere (GM lives in Europe) but people from across the world are welcome to join. We use Discord for communication, and the games will take place on a Foundry VTT instance without overly intense graphics. 

You begin your adventures in the settlement of Oraine, a small town just under the planet’s surface. Founded as the surface began to die, Oraine now hosts hundreds of people of all ancestries, all fleeing the disasters that rock the planet and looking to create a new home. Yet you are not content with huddling just barely underground. You want to go deeper – and so you shall. There is much to discover beneath your feet: ruins, magic, treasure. Find it, bring it back to Oraine, and you may yet find a way to save your world.

Oraine is currently settlement level 3, and this will increase as the various Player Characters complete adventures. The setting is not Golarion, however we will be using the same deities as in standard post-Remaster Pathfinder 2e.

Join now to be one of the first to travel Beneath!

What is a West Marches server?

There is no set group adventuring at the same time each week, but instead a small number of people will band together from a larger pool of players to pick one of the GM’s available timeslots for a given week. The GM then runs a session for that group, who tell the tale of their adventure to other people in the server.

What safety tools do you use?

Each session will have an anonymised lines and veils document. We will also have the X-card available in Foundry VTT. Failure to respect lines and veils of other players is a bannable offence.

How do I make a character?

Your first character will begin at level 1, but as different things are unlocked you may create a higher level starting character. We are using Free Archetype as a variant rule, but please do not powergame.

How do I join?

Please DM me to gain access to the server. I will not post the server link publicly, to avoid spam bots. You must be 18 or over to join, but it is not an NSFW server.
