THe Podcast format is a nice touch!

Thanks... still tinkering on tools in the background... hope to have more to share soon! :) Have a great weekend!

[@PaulCoyJR]

I might need this. My players captured a kobold war chief, and I'm thinking he might join them if they treat him with respect.

[@litrpgadventures6902]

I like. Could get interesting!

The two horniest options for your party's mascot: Kobold and Goblin.

We just did another video about "Goblin Shenanigans!" Thanks for stopping by.

[@peterwhitcomb8315]

Interesting. Kobalds have gone through some change since 2E. I think I am stuck on Eberron Kobalds thanks to online gaming. Honestly since they have "fleshed out" Kobalds over the last few editions I feel bad for their "cousins" the goblin. Goblins just don't seem to be getting the same level of "love."

[@litrpgadventures6902]

Heh. We're working on a Goblin Shenanigans episode kinda like this one... Coming out later today... Stay tuned! Thanks for the input.

[@CzyJoe666]

Thank you for letting me know you didn't play anything older then 4E in the first 2 min, there's no debate if you played older versions you know they have dragon blood in their veins.

[@litrpgadventures6902]

They're dog-like! ;) The AI may have been fed too much info and filtered it bad. Thanks for pointing it out! But yeah, I do remember when Elf was a class not a race... An old, old man. Do have a bit of 5e knowledge (and OneDND or 6e now), but need to train our AI helper better, so thanks for the input!

[@litrpgadventures6902]

Some good info, though, I hope... Too filtered down, maybe... too BROAD... wide and shallow not narrow and deep...

[@Spamthulhu]

That background was removed by wotc. Just because old rules had it doesn't mean it stuck.

how did you get so much great AI art?

[@litrpgadventures6902]

I run LitRPG Adventures. :) Thanks!

So, I'm watching the pictures, and I gotta say -- Kobolds don't have boobs. I know it's a fantasy game, but they're not mammals, and would they nurse little fanged baby Kobolds? And that one has hair!? Oi.

[@litrpgadventures6902]

When spells go wrong! ;) Good point, though. I'm trying to use LESS photos but higher quality. Thanks for the smile!

[@Scarletpimpinhell]

Is this two ai voices?

[@litrpgadventures6902]

Three, actually, but one never talks! ;) Seriously, though, yes, it's marked/explained in description a bit.

[@dukejaywalker5858]

@@litrpgadventures6902 I guess the third voice was too shy. Need to adjust its parameters!
