Much more so. Because the people that aren’t shitlords wind up finding and staying in a stable group, while the people who can’t maintain human relationships get perpetually booted back into the rando pool, so it becomes more and more concentrated awfulness all the time.

RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•For a game called "Dungeons & Dragons" there is a shocking lack of both dungeons and dragons
11·7 days agoI started a campaign where, after 20 years of gaming with this group, we were finally going to have a dragon for a big bad. Then my entire country collapsed irl, destroying the game. It’s like the universe abhors actually having dragons in your D&D game.

1·7 days agoI still play D&D…3.5.
Polyamory. Polygamy means multiple marriage and is illegal. Also commonly associated with culty non-consensual stuff instead of consenting adults
Herd them ahead of you to clear traps

protip: don’t cross them off, write who they are on the list (eg “Rivermeadow blacksmith”) so you can remember when the players come back to them a million sessions later

rpg@ttrpg.network•Thoughts on preemptively banning Gen-AI?
181·1 month agoThanks everyone for your feedback. I get that this is a contentious issue, and I appreciate everyone being nice to eachother (and me) while discussing it. (Those of you that didn’t, you know who you are)
Based on the upvoted comments and the arguments that I found most cogent, I will be banning generative AI in the community.
A few related issues were raised, and I’d like to explain how I intend to address them:
https://ttrpg.network/post/26260249/17201676 Rhaedus raised concerns about the difficulty in determining if something is AI generated or not. As with all rule enforcement on this site, I’ll be relying on you all to report suspected violations, and I promise I’ll give you my best-effort attempt to make a fair judgement.
https://ttrpg.network/post/26260249/17206513 Carl and others raised concerns that this might impact posts predominantly about human-created content that have some trivial or incidental amount of AI generated comment. In such a situation, if the use of Gen AI is really that minimal, it would never come to my attention in the first place, and therefore wouldn’t get removed anyway.
Several users advocated for an explicit carve out for discussions about the use of AI, which is a good idea and will be included in the rule.
Thank you again for your input and your civility.

1·2 months agoI guess that’s the orthodox interpretation, that it’s the eggs that were bad. But like, if you actually watch what he’s doing, he just vaguely pokes at them while they burn to the bottom of the pan, and then he serves them while they’re still liquid. And they don’t call him an accomplished cook, the closest anyone gets is elevator shaft saying “Ooh, a practiced hand!” in response to Riker pouring the eggs into a pan.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Fair point
3·2 months agoHonorable mention to some of the aliens they interact with in Enterprise, before the Universal Translator was fully working. Though technically they weren’t the Federation yet.

6·2 months agoActually, progressing in an interesting if not promising way. There’s been a ton of debate about how to handle the Ireland/North Ireland border due to brexit, and what they’ve recently settled on is basically creating a sea border between North Ireland and the rest of England so that the land border between Ireland and North Ireland can stay unrestricted. I’m not an expert, but this guy is and he’s made several videos about it I like: https://www.youtube.com/@williamcfox/videos

1·2 months agoBut…we’ve seen it. It happened in an episode. Dude can’t cook eggs.
It’s also some good foreshadowing for stuff we don’t find out until literally the last episode.
