Like stated in the video, the issues here is not the use of AI, I do personally believe AI art should not be used in commercial products, but that's not the issue. The issue is they've lied about it over and over for well over a year.

They seriously have people from their circle actively posting comments that it's not the extremely obvious AI that countless artists agree that it is.

YouTube video by TCG Buzz Wildhearts TCG is Lying to YOU - AI Art in Indie Games - TCG Buzz

I really didn't want to make this video, since I'm not a big fan of confrontation. But we made a PSA about a game that uses AI artwork, and has been repeatedly lying about it, saying they only use real artists

Rime of the Frost Maiden was the first campaign I ever DM'd, it was a difficult starting point mostly due to the book's layout, and lack of overall clarity to the story, but it's such a good setting, and each of the ten-towns have so much to offer, I wish we had more officially.

Man it's so sad that the 2020s version of a dad forcing thier kid into football to fulfill themselves is now actively using your kid to scam people for what was once just a fun game for kids.

New pickup! Mischievous Pichu 214/S-P

I love collecting obscure Pokemon cards! I don't typically buy recently released promos but I really lived the art on this one. It's a crossover with an influencer and a fashion brand IDK check Bulbapedia.

Tariffs really do effect every part of our industry negatively. Just last night I went through my routine of importing a bunch of vintage JP Pokemon cards. Had a few hundred $ in cart then remembered what a pain it'll be and cancelled. Bummer.

Technically it's TRIPLE JP exclusive since it was also in PokΓ©mon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR! Here's the sprite!

Fun facts about Web Series: it was where the split of PokΓ©-Power and PokΓ©-Body started. Also the first set EVER to have supporter cards.

I've seen CRAZY pitches in my day. Seen a guy try for 20 minutes to pitch a twitchy FPS to someone who was fully blind, Seen someone meet with a publisher for a game they admitted when questioned they had JUST started, like that morning. and people who threatened violence when their pitch went bad.

Remember, classes are fighting styles, not character backgrounds.

You can play a noble rogue, who fights dirty. A hippy fighter who protects the forests with blade and spear or a druid who lives in the city and turns into rats.

Don't be constrained by tropes.
