This would be my approach as well.

I recognise that player, and that's absolutely the right response.

What absolute loser behaviour.

They literally can't comprehend the idea that people might not be using the shitty plagiarism machine.

They don't care about making anything, they just want a finished, professional-looking product with their name on it. It's pure greed and selfishness, not an ounce of creative spirit to be seen.

They need to be pushed out of our space. Please don't stop fighting the good fight.

The sheer bloody entitlement from the "AI" thieves is unbelievable. "I'm just a little indie guy, how am I supposed to afford hundreds of bespoke illustrations?" If you can't afford them, find a way to manage without them. Stock image libraries exist for this reason.

Kat is doing good work here.

After 65 hours of pain and suffering, I have completed Act 3 of #Silksong. 96%, which I'm happy with.

The road to success, it turns out, is paved with throwable sharps.

Had such an amazing time at @tagsfest.co.uk today! Met a lot of very cool people, bought some cool stuff from them. Great to be surrounded by so much creativity and passion.

He's taken Inventor Archetype to get a construct companion that he uses as a mount, giving him a functional movement speed of 80 feet. It's absolute nonsense.

We got an alchemist in our Abomination Vaults party recently and he's terrifying. Handing out debuffs and persistent damage all over the place. Reddit mooks don't know what they're talking about.

Last night in ##pathfinder2e Abomination Vaults, a goblin explained elven cultural norms at great length to an elf, thus inventing "gobsplaining".

Control did a much better job of selling the whole "eldritch location where nothing makes sense" than whatever the fuck this is supposed to be.

Be a fan of the other players. Hype them up. Work with them to set up cool scenes or moments where they can shine.

I feel you. I plated up my best ever mushroom stroganoff 2 weeks ago and my daughter wouldn't even look at it. Used to be one of her favourites!

Skill issue. If your Super Awesome Perfect Build doesn't include a contingency for fighting flyers, constructs, wizards, or flying wizard constructs, then what you have is in fact a SHIT BUILD. Versatility is king in Pathfinder and it always has been.

"but it's not fun" MAKE IT FUN. Play better.

And what are they going to do in 10 years when their senior staff start retiring and they have no junior staff left to fill the gaps? Promote Chat GPT?

I ran a oneshot for Halloween, either last year or the year before, where the PCs are undead minions of a necromancer whose lair gets invaded by adventurers. Also they're trying to unionise.

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

It's just a voluntary fine. And as we know, if the only penalty for doing something wrong is a fine, then that thing is only wrong if you can't afford it.

Saw the autumn leaves dancing as I drove my car yesterday and wanted to a mari with a dress formed of whirling leaves

TTRPG where the resolution mechanic is a big floor mat that your cat walks around on, is this anything?

Can't go into a lot of detail because one of my players follows me here, but there'll be a funeral and some very uncomfortable conversations.

Still thinking about the amazing rolling combat I ran in #pathfinder2e Abomination Vaults, fighting their way through an occupied building. 3 game sessions. 29 combat rounds. No PC had more than 30HP left by the end. Absolutely epic.

Calypso = Yoshi. Kind and supportive. Gets everyone where they need to go. Looks after the protagonists as children (see: Yoshi's Island).

Unicorse = Kamek. Bowser/Bandit's right hand. Hateful little bastard. Can teleport.
