Masquorade. Focus groups felt that its iron-y tang detracted from the core clamato-beef flavor profile. Trialed in select markets in the PNW in 1994-5 but abruptly discontinued after several focus group members were arrested for biting family members, passers-by, or patrons at underground raves.

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.

If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

Yes this exactly what we mean. If you want everyone in your group to have their own copy, we want to make that a little easier for you. This also makes it easier for people like @friede.bsky.social and @guyintheblackhat.bsky.social and @czamboni.bsky.social to pick up classroom copies.

Has Harry laid out his backyard in elaborate miniaturized replicas of famous battlefields? Is he willing to show you where he was wounded, if it's not too delicate for you??

Oh, very sorry to hear, it's a rough time. Hope you have the support you need, and that everyone involved is taken care of!

Lesson learned, if you're working with a company and they say, "Oh we can just do that for you." Be sure to ask them, "And how much would that cost?" instead of thinking it was just part of the thing you're paying for.

Just as a reminder: the totally free Designing Dungeons Course (Or, How to Kill a Party in 30 Rooms or Less) covers these kinds of rooms--and more!

One of the things that most touched me after @matthewmercer.bsky.social visit was hearing from a student reporter that many of the folks who came NEVER come to events on campus. They donโ€™t think of Auburn as theirs.

But it is.
It belongs to the people of Alabama.
All of them.

I mean, for a new driver, trouble shifting gears and bumpy clutch are par for the course, it takes time to develop that muscle memory . . . so congrats, you did great, and the examiner needs to get some perspective. ๐Ÿฅณ

You don't need gen AI, not even if you're not an artist. I'm not an artist, but I wanted to make an illustration of a monster's eye... something like an "eldritch eye." I cannot do by scratch, so I downloaded free images, and mixed them until I got something I was happy with.
Here the result:

Absolutely stunned to be able to pick up a Kickstarter copy of Jiangshi from the incomparable @bananachangames.bsky.social

So excited to have a copy of this
