I only read the very first #Dragonlance trilogy (Chronicles) back in high school, and I'd be lying if I said I remember much about the books at all other than the fact that I remember liking them a lot. 😅

I've always been meaning to re-read the books, so this #HumbleBundle deal is a no-brainer purchase for me.

And the deal gets us ePub files, instead of forcing us to make a Kobo account or some such (yeah, some Humble Bundle ebook deals do that, ewww). Very nice.

Completely out of nowhere comes the news that a whole new starter set for Free League's The One Ring ruleset will be released on July 31. Titled "The One Ring: Starter Set - Over Hill and Under Hill," it looks like it will be priced at 225 kr, or roughly US$22.

A clear case of "Shut up and take my money."

Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks is singing praises of AI again.

I guess he can ask his precious AI why players like me are no longer interested in D&D.

I finally ran a session of Alien RPG.

Why did I wait so long??? The game is brilliant!! I stumbled quite a lot because I didn't have all the core mechanics committed to memory, but I'm realizing that I ought to be very fluent in its stress and panic mechanic to run a smooth session.

I'll definitely be there when Free League puts up the Evolved Edition on KS.

Starting Feb 26, you will not be able to download your Kindle ebooks as files on your computer. Depending on your use habit, this may not make much difference, but, as noted by the article, this is a clear case of legitimate users losing out under the guise of "fighting piracy."

So if you like the flexibility of having the files of your purchased Kindle ebooks, download them before Feb 26.

Now, if "Not By AI" was a certification program, then I'd totally understand the fee. But it's not. They straight-up say they DON'T CHECK to see if 10% or less of the work was AI generated.

This smells fishy as hell.

If any creator wanted to designate their work as AI-free, I say the excellent (and free to use) "Human Made" badges by HINOKODO are much more sensible alternative than that fishy "Not By AI" stuff.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but "Not By AI" thing looks to me like a scam to prey on creators trying desperately to stand out in the sea of AI shovelware.

At first, "Not By AI" looks like a simple "we made this, not AI" badge.

But upon closer inspection, "Not By AI" actually allows for 10% of the work to be AI-generated, and what's worse, it wants you to PAY THEM $5 A MONTH for the privilege of using their "Not By AI" png file.

I'm a bit late to the party, but uhh, yeah. Electric State movie from Netflix.

It's only the trailer so far, but it's clearly depicting a world that's completely different from the Electric State world of Simon Stålenhag's art or the Free League TRPG.

People will undoubtedly discover the rule via the movie, and those people will have all sorts of wrong expectations for the rule.

Started running a campaign of Tales from the Loop with players experienced with other rules, but new to this.

And I am becoming convinced that the best rule in TftL is, "the land of the Loop is dangerous, but Kids will not die."

Upon reading that, all my players INSTANTLY KNEW what kind of tone the game is trying to achieve. And we had a wonderful, whimsical first session.

So I just learned that cat cafe sim is a thing. Not only is there this Kickstarter campaign, Steam has a few other cat cafe sims already available too.

I was tempted, yes.

But I quickly came to conclude that any time and money spent on a cat cafe sim game is better spent on going to an actual cat cafe. 😽

I may try one of these games later, if I ever get tired of going to a cat cafe. 🙀

"The Waking of Willowby Hall" is more fantastic than I've heard.

Ran it twice with two different groups, and two very different outcomes.

I'm convinced that I could run it with five more groups, and I would get five more different outcomes.

So awesome. So fun.

I love how angry and sarcastic Bob World Builder – who usually exudes Bob Ross level of calm and positivity – has gotten in regards to 2024 PHB. 😂

To paraphrase: "If you like spending hours and hours studying character options and dreaming of ways to create your character, knock yourself out. But if you just want to play the game, then wait for the new SRD or a new starter boxset to come out, or play Cairn or Shadowdark."
