Gaming with Pixels Dice

The first thing I would do with those is set them up to say bad words. 😂

On the topic of AI music: You already have intro music, what would you want AI music for? Are talking about while you are talking? If so: -I guess. I mean it is your channel. Just remember to keep it lower volume and/or simplistic; more ambience than “live jazz band playing a dance number in the board room” -Since low volume and simplistic is the lean for these things, dabbling in free music software might be the way to go, creating it yourself. -Legally, you might also want to steer clear of AI for now, because technically no one owns it. So if word gets out (as of now) that your song is AI, someone else could use it in their videos about TTRPGs, or something odd like “grading canned soups by sticking my feet in a warm bowl of them”. On the legal flipside of this, there a bunch of AI music artists already on KZbin that do have “if you use this, please just credit me”. As well as loads of public domain music. Onto the Pixel Dice: -I kind of hope the sayings are only customizable to a point, because the last thing I would want is a power gamer having their dice say “Nat 20” when rolling a 20,1,3, and 5. This however could be controlled a little better if the dice is synced to the GM’s device, because then the GM can eradicate people lying about the dice rolls since the phone can track the rolls of multiple dice. -Another thing is that this does really open up the in-person experience for blind people. I’m sure there are braille dice, but I would assume they would have to be bigger, and also I have no immediate idea how big a braille D4 would need to be, but I would assume well beyond the size of a D100. As far as with digital, I have known my playgroup as friend for well over a decade, and while we meet via Teams, we roll at our own perspective tables with our own dice. We do this for two reasons: half the group is tech avoidant so learning a game client is unlikely homework for them and there is a sort of “handing your [character’s] fate to the computer” mentality that we’ll avoid as long as we can. I loved the Pyrate short! Remember: home made art is typically made with care. It does not take skill or much knowledge to copy+paste a bunch of stuff online. I mean, I’ve seen some AI videos, 5+ minutes run time and you gain nothing. Your mood doesn’t change, you learned nothing, you have no connection with the creator. On the flip side, sure a 30+ minute on the history of goblins in a card game will probably not do much for me in the real world, but the creator was passionate about it and talked about how the different goblins from different realms all fell into that “goblin” designation even when the physical differences were like comparing a lounge chair to bar stool, people still understand “I can sit on either [of these pieces of furniture]” I know enough about claymation to know it takes a long time but it will make you stand out in this day and age, if you have the time to do it, especially in this age of AI and photoshop. Gen Z is going for more retro things anyway, so it might help get some of that demographic, since BabyBoomers, Gen X, and early Millennials will have already encountered claymation, but Gen Z and later Millennials could see it as a retro aspect to which they’ve had little exposure, and that avenue is an open door to lead them to your channel. At least that’s my opinion. That is what the brunt of this comment is. In the end it is your choice for your channel, not mine. And it is your opinion that should be the final arbiter for your channel. See you next video!

@angelojohnson9441 Thank you for that very in-depth post and analysis. AI-music - Just something we are toying with. Tom asked if it could be done, and I was like yeah, no issue. It was coming up with exactly what he wanted that is harder. AI is not the beat all end all and it is limited, but fun to play with. AI Movie... I've toyed with it, but I am not a fan of it. So what do we do? I have ideas for a live action intro filmed at a real castle made all by one man not to far from where we live. But this requires help, help, I am not sure I will get to do it. but maybe. What ever we do, it cannot be long. The Pyrate Round Intro was a bit long, but we loved it, and stayed with it. We had a tone of fun doing that over a day of filming. I'd love to do another, but the Claymation we did, was about as detailed as we wanted to get, and we had ships. Although, we had planned on re-shooting it with other ships, and never did. I had spent a day making the white whale and looking at Sperm Whales, and then squid, and making all the different arms needed. We ended up cutting out some, and redoing some. Glad you liked that segment that we added (Bonus reels). The Dice... Yes, someone could program it to say Nat 20 even on a one. But I think if every one at a table started to hear it roll Nat 20 on every roll, people would get suspicious. On our game sessions last night, Tom had his phone pointed to were others could see it. I know some are also using it in I think Roll 20, but not sure. Yes, it could help with people who are blind, or have a hard time seeing their dice. We had a player that could never read her dice, on a phone it could be big so she could see those. I've thought about brail dice. I have 2 sister-in-laws and 1 brother-in-law who are blind and read brail. Tom is even familiar in some regards to it as his sisters and brother are all blind. The dice will get more features added. I found they are working on having different voices for the dive to use Thank you again for the post.
