omg this is and AI generated podcast...

The irony of the message "good actual communication is important" while having voices that are not communicating tell us why communication matters is jarring

Other things you can do that i've done: I'm older, (explanation, not excuse) - So i use it to PC-check my work, make sure i don't have anything non-inclusive or other subtle social faux pas that have come from our changing society. - check for plot holes. give it all the beats of your story, and ask it to poke holes in it. - check encounter balance. describe the encounter, party, class spread, levels, and major magical items that might affect an encounter (social, exploration, or combat. all of it works) - review your DM notes, and ask you 10 questions it thinks a player might ask you. I've found a number of times, this is quite sure to hit at least 2 things, and my players love that i'm just ready on the spot with an answer. A lot of the time this also serves as the "describe for me..." type prompts to get the creativity flowing, it'll ask something and you go "crap, that's a good point, now -i- want that answer..." and you create it. - if you use VTTs to play, use it to convert your web site text to html tables for journals and dm notes. I do this more than -anything- for foundry. I mostly back PDFs over implemented Foundry Modules, because often times they get a single version update and thanks to ... well, i'll step off the soap box, "the landscape is constantly changing in ampersand land" and the modules get left behind. I also find i like to customize them for my table. buff things, nerf things. etc. and its easier to just make them myself, and only what i need. So using it to convert things for Importer modules, journal html, etc, even just giving it a massive blob of text and saying "read this and tell me the key details, and things i need to dive deeper into for nuance" is helpful for making your session running notes. (Not a replacement for reading modules but just distilling it for your notes to jog memory on what you _did_ already read. TL;DR, what you said in the vid is key. Don't let it be your creativity, let it be your inspiration to BE creative. The smaller the task the better the results. Don't "Describe this city's districts." Have it give options of things that you might find in one district, in one shop in that district, and the shop owner is an NPC you need to incorporate. more details, less task for output, it will let the final result be more you than GPT, and you can still feel (mostly) proud of what you create while not being stuck in the doldrums.

The Coldfire Trikogy

Is this narrated by AI?

Most important thing you need to know: Out of all the invocations that let you cast a spell you don't have with one of your precious Pact Magic slots, there is only one worth taking: Sculptor of Flesh. Polymorph is such a good spell that even using one of your two (maximum four) Pact Slots is still a good deal.

he who fights with monsters

Wow a blacksmith that was a soldier how original

I feel like I'm listening to an infomercial

Chat gpt and voice synth AI. This is a joke.

I'm part of a group, boardgames, right now "Hero Quest", so not RPGs, yet, but the concept of players interactions, situation/problem = let's talk about how to resolve/survive, keeping it cool, is the same. I say that because we have 1 player who is usualy totaly fine to interact with in a game session, but now he has sabotaged the game several times, and sometimes heroes have died, several times. He's like "naah, it'll be fine, what could possibly go wrong", consequences are not important, as it seems. Now, he was fired "True Lies" style, though he doesn't know yet, it's not official to him yet, but everyone else knows. Problem here now is, this seems to have left a kinda stink in the group, at least another one might leave the group, because he doesn't seem to like how we handeld the situation, even though he wants the other guy gone as well. Don't know, there might be more to this than just that, but the group right now is splitting apart, as it seems.

I really haven't ever seen it interpreted the way I always have. I started playing AD&D when it was important. The only thing lawful or chaotic ment to me was predictable or not. Lawful only ment a strict adherence to your own code of ethics. A Lawful good character could very easily break the law if it ment adherence to their own code of justice for instance. Many wouldn't but it also wouldn't be alinment breaking if they did for instance. Just my 2 cents. Great video, much enjoyed it

What the heck is happening here. They sound like a couple of bots. lol or really terrible salesmen.

What a great resource.

Holy hell this was painfull to lissen to... take a shot every time some one says exactly! ... felt 100% like these peaple read a script poorly about a game they never playd...

Best Ways to lose another mental ability - the AI generated gateway drug video.

the more we use it, the more it will be normalised, and the worse it effects on humanity will be. just don't use it. I'm afraid I'll be boycotting all creators who are using AI to generate content. Goodbye

This is an all AI channel

Yeah… this totally sounds like the A.I. generated podcast from Google’s NotebookLM.

The anology of someone commissioning an artist to paint a portrait should tell you enough of why AI is bad. It is taking work out of the hands of actual people.

cool video even if the ideas in it are basic I like the examples you made thank you for making and sharing this video

100%. total gamechanger for DMs. I use it all the time.

If my imagination, is better than yours, that is a YOU issue.

This whole conversation is ai generated ?

For a hobby that rewards creativity, this AI regurgited garbage is disgusting. You take someone elses article, and crank out garbage. Enjoy this one comment of engagement. Channel blocked.

Sometimes manure just happens.

I think an issue I've always had with D&D is that class-level systems don't promote the creation of characters, but rather archetypes. Similarly, character generation in D&D creates characters outside of the setting, like they've been transplanted from somewhere else. I think that second one stems from it being so generic. I think D&D would be much better if they had setting specific PHBs, with the DMG mostly being a guide for creating your own setting, and using the mechanics introduced in those PHBs to create your own setting specific classes, races, etc.

Notebook LM right? Really cool website!

Get rid of the crappy AI art.

big downvote for all the AI images

I started using it myself the other day, putting in prompts about the system, the setting, and details about the party and campaign. It's been a fantastic tool to help with ideas and brainstorming, like coming up with ideas for magical defences that an evil organisation might have, or assisting with antagonist goals and how to achieve them. It even came up with ideas for neutralising powerful organisations and allies that the party might have.

I am curious how to explain how a creature I shape shift into that does not have the correct anatomy to vocalize humanoid speech can do so. Might have been better to give them a limited telepathy in wild shape. I recall many lycanthropes can not speak in animal form.

Question: You are a guard at the city gate. Where do you draw the line on what you allow in and where do you stop them? You let the Gnome, the Elf, and the human through. How about the Gnoll and the Mind-flayer? In some campaigns you might welcome the Gnoll and Mind-flayer but freak out at the Human and Elf.

I always enjoyed the 3.5 varient alignment system. Pick an alignment and that is your base morals, and then depending on the situation, you slide into the territory of other alignments because every day situations influance your base morals.

no no no no no

your local Min/Maxer can save your life in a pinch, but just don't let him tell you how to build your character and what you're doing wrong and what you should be doing instead.

While not always exactly appropriate I sometimes translate lawful to 'dogmatic' and chaotic as 'individualistic'. It especially helps on the evil end of the scale because you can't really imagine what a 'lawful' evil character looks like, but think dogmatic evil and you instantly have an image in your head.

You gotta get the AI voices off. Everyone would rather hear your voice.

Lawful should have been named Order, would have saved a lot of people time. Same for good and evil are really Generous and Selfish

nice thumbnail

How about the Assassin who starts out neutral evil but over time become neutral good. But he does after all have a very specific set of skills... James Bond, the Punisher, John Wick, etc.

Too many GM's/DM's stay away from "Epic campaigns" because they are afraid of the complexities. They are more into combat, travel, town, quest, combat... rinse repeat.

I shall midmax forever 💪

AI "art". AI voice. Probably a shit AI script, too. 🤮Truly the epitome of laziness.

I get the idea... but it was lost on knowing, and easily tell, the people talking are reading directly from the post, and their scripts. It would have been better to see the two in the video just talking about it regularly, then hear them reading. I can read it myself if just posted. The point is to hear them talk and have great convo about the topic which would have kept my interest.

Can’t believe this AI slop got recommended to me🤢 what did I do wrong?

Do your own work pls, your video sounds patently fake

The 6 minutes i made it into this scripted artificial conversation is 6 minutes of my life ill never get back.

4:29 - 3 hands

To me its a double edged sword........... On one hand it will be very impactful towards professional artists but then they make money not from the average guy on the street. But now the average person who cant draw or sketch to save their lives have access to tools they can use at the drop of a hat and more so in TTRPG
