>>98612426AI is great for generating usable portraits for characters. Do NOT use it as advice for setting up combat encounters or as an authoritative source for interpreting rules mechanics. Do not do it. Oh my god, if I had a dollar for every time I saw some moron just trusted ChatGPT and put twenty bandits against level 2 PCs and it TPK'd them, I'd be able to afford healthcare in America.

>>98614862>put twenty bandits against level 2 PCson the other hand if you had less than 20 pals you should reconsider banditry, robbing people you don't vastly outnumber is highly inconvenient. In that way the chatbot suggestion's quite realistic.>>98612426>How do you leverage AI for TTRPGsI ask it if sticky notes exist, what kinds of video tapes there are and how common air conditioned cars are in 60s for my Delta Green game.Anyway gauging interest for now:>Player or GMGM>Preferred System(s)D&D 3.5 with some minimal houserules (feats every 2 levels, no multiclass penalty on xp, dodge as per PF and a few more)>Schedule/Times Available (include timezone)Every Friday, at 14:00 UTC or 14:30 UTC, ideally 3-4 hour sessions, in theory could start as early as tomorrow >Voice or TextVoice>Method(s) of Play (Skype, Discord, IRC, roll20, etc)Roll20 + Discord for voice>Tone/Theme PreferredString of dungeon crawls with mostly minimal plot, preferably more serious than not but I'm ok with ridiculous builds and the usual comic relief from time to time. Theme will be mid-apocalyptic.>Contact Infotg381@proton.me, or you can leave your email or discord username here>Other Notes3.5 veterans strongly preferred, or at minimum people with strong grasp of the basic rules. I want 3 or 4 players. If you're interested in joining, at least mention your basic character idea. Starting level will be 4, with quick advancement via milestones.
>>98615045The point of tabletop RPGs is not to construct a perfectly verisimitudinous alternative reality simulation.
>>98615045>D&D 3.5 with some minimal houserules (feats every 2 levels, no multiclass penalty on xp, dodge as per PF and a few more)Just use PF1e, dude. It does the fixing you're looking for. If you want those old shitty PrCs, you can just allow them as options for your players because PF1e is completely backwards compatible with those. No one will choose to take levels in them, though.
>>98615065Perchance, but if I attacked 4 bandits only to have 16 more rush out from around the corner my initial response would be "huh, should have seen that coming"
>>98615045Sure ill bite im on medical leave from work for three months hopefully. Veteran 3.5e player and owner of large number of books and dragon magazines. strong grasp on rules even have some experience DMing. Discord is general1992 if you want to talk more

I recognize both are probably stolen, scrambled and re-arranged but I was stealing portraits as is from other medias prior to that...>>98614862This: Asking an LLM to generate a stat block will have it generate a stat and then forget it and bluff another value for that stat when referring to it later on. They are very poor at maths, especially when 3 or more variables are involved.Using it to generate descriptions of valuable items on-the-spot instead of gold pieces / credits / what-have-you? Sure. Using it to generate an opposition? Kill yourself.

The campaign as a whole is a sandbox although there might be hooks for one or two session adventures that lean a bit more railroady, you will have to (both literally or figuratively) explore the sandbox to find most of those though.I will not giving a ton of info to the players about how the system is working, in a super old school style. Players still roll and have a sheet but you will not know everything that is going on in the rules.It will probably be rather lethal if you don't take things slowTHIS IS NOT 5e OR ANYTHING CLOSE, if you come in assuming that it is like 5e you will be wrong.The game has been going for a few months now, players adding and dropping as time has gone by (more have added than have dropped). The game is just getting into the meat and potatoes of things though. We have had enough character deaths recently that the average level has dropped and there are a few level ones again.

>>98617874They are bad at math because they aren't doing math. They're language models, anon. To be pedantic, they're natural language models, not formal language models. They do not actually construct and track and manage variables or relationships between symbols in a static manner. They're constructing each response to your prompt from a compressed context window.And furthermore... Copying is not theft. Stealing a thing leaves one less left. Copying it makes one thing more. That's what copying's for.If people want to get paid for their art, they shouldn't just give it away to the universe for free. They can't complain about their foolishness after the fact only because they're embarrassed to realize that their work had value. If they want to reorganize society and economic systems to ensure they get compensated for their work, they can try to do so, but that's also a fucking stupid waste of time since it hasn't worked for all the centuries while people far smarter and wiser than they have tried. If they had paid attention to their history classes, they'd know that.Street lamp lighters used to be an entire vocation. "Calculators" literally were humans who sat in a room for hours in groups of dozens or even hundreds and just did arithmetic. For a living. Lots of things people used to do for a living are no longer things people do for a living. When the photograph was invented, most artists at the time were immediately unemployed because they were portraitists.Take reality into account. What you do for rent money is not who you are. Don't attach your meaning to some stupid fucking thing you do for fucking money, kids. Otherwise, don't fucking complain about it when change happens and your stupid fucking artificial identity is invalidated.
>>98614862Why would you need a source for the rules other than the rulebook?
>>98619290Yes and no, on one hand you're right that people bitching about this shit are stupid and their jobs/careers being replaces is a natural consequence of the technological progress of civilization, specially when just a decade ago, these same people were thinking that AI would take over menial work, meaning they would be free for more creative pursuits, meaning more art, more fanfics, etc. The absolute morons.On the other AI literally breaks down if it has no new shit to copy, it's called model collapse, if you feed AI created stuff to AI, you get the same result as if you were photocopying a photocopy, gathering more and more imperfections for every pass, until the photocopy becomes useless. You cannot read the text, or distinguish the image, etc. Same thing happens with AI, so artists and writers are still safe from unemployment.>>98619534It's less that you need it for source rules, and more that the first result of a google search is Gemini. So in our smartphone-powered world, it's easier to google the rule than it is to remember what page it's on. People realize this and take two different paths. Either then start scrolling down to find a more detailed answer, or they just eliminate the middle man and type their shit in Gemini, or Grok, or ChatGPT, etc.
>>98621176All art is derivative. "Model collapse" is just what art has always done: it's a feedback loop evolving. The difference is that AIs iterate through that loop a lot faster than humans do.Present today's art to a mudfarming peasant in 500 BC and they'll tell you it's incomprehensible garbage. Because the meaning / value of art is relative to its contextual culture.Iterate an AI's training data set with feedback from users and you prevent model collapse. Synthetic training data generation is literally this and it works just fine. Even when there are no humans in the loop: you can have two opposed AIs providing feedback to each other during training, with nothing but abstract instructions about how they should be judging each other in the process.https://youtu.be/wR54u64cbj8?si=9KHSzgzQBazRmUsO
>>98621176Is your rulebook really poorly laid out or something?
>>98621176Did you mean to say add a middleman?
>>98621176There is no such thing as natural consequences and there is no inevitable progress of technology.>>98622304This is false, it's fundamentally different, and generated images are not and will never be art.
>>98622479>nuh uhhhhh~!Fascinating argument. So persuasive.Tell us all where you got your degree in Art History from! I'm dying to read your thesis.Until then, however, I'll have to console myself with the established consensus so hard won after more than a century of philosophers and artists working hard to understand this topic and the conclusions they've arrived at which are now, to the astonishment of literally everyone working in the field, actually no longer controversial.Photography is just as much art as anything else can be: because art is a made up concept. It's arbitrary. It's not real. It's literally just whatever you want. Aiming at the dead center of the Venn diagram of public agreement is fucking boring, and a shitty way to self-validate.You don't have to agree with anyone else about what is or isn't art. Because what you think art is or isn't literally does not matter to anyone but yourself.No one's trying to convince you of anything about AI.You're just being told that you're limited. There's a boundary around what you can assert, and it's fundamentally not possible for you to define the validity of someone else's subjective judgement.If you can find a way to argue your way around that, present it to the world. Several international prizes for philosophy await you, to the tune of dozens of millions of dollars and permanent acclaim in the history books.Good luck.

I dimly comprehended the process, how the silica replaced the vegetable matter, atom by atom, and the result was a duplicate of the object in stone. This, I confess, had never interested me greatly, and as for the ancient fossils thus produced, they disgusted me. Boris, it appeared, feeling curiosity instead of repugnance, had investigated the subject, and had accidentally stumbled on a solution which, attacking the immersed object with a ferocity unheard of, in a second did the work of years. _The King in Yellow (1895)

Well?
>>98669789That's really weird, because if you're actually playing games and drawing or paying for your portraits, that would mean you're spending more than 40 hours a week just drawing for free. On top of the three or four hundred dollars you're paying per portrait that you do buy. Where are you getting that much money while you're working a full time job to draw for yourself for free?Or you don't actually play games.Or you're just fucking lying.

>>98692751Not all of them are like that. It's like everywhere: some is shit, some is just bleh and some is ok. You'll always have to exercise prudence and awareness, whether here or elsewhere.

>>986808702 questions:> Is it every week?Work schedule is over the place, I can guarantee one week on / one week off.> What do you mean by "High Fantasy"?Is it just theme, or will the rules be bent/altered to allow players to fit that theme more (e.g. Gestalting, skill being powered up for martials to keep up with casters).Oh, and this one matters less, I'm just curious: Would you allow traditional arcane schools of magic (e.g. Conjuration) or only new ones (e.g. Battle Magic)?

Theoretically, if I homebrewed a system or setting could I arrange playtests here?I don't have anything in the fire now, but I know playtesting early and consistently is important.
>>98724153You could try, and people could respond.
>>98682363NTA. I was tired of 3.5 even before 4e came out. I played in some pathfinder campaigns and they didn't fix any of the things I dislike about 3.5.Then PF2e came out and I gave that a try for the hell of it, and was super positively surprised that it's an actual original system rather than some kind of 5e clone. It's still not my favorite game - SotDL is my goto for Swords and Sorcery - but it's pretty good, miles better than 5e or 3.5
>>98692751Some of my best campaigns were started on 4chan. It's the exact same mixed bag as if you go down to you flgs, or post an ad on a whiteboard in a college cafeteria. As long as you're willing to kick people you don't think fit the group, you can find great games.If you throw a fit because you see some 4chan lingo and wojaks in a discord consisting of 4channers, then you're the problem.>>98700848I'd argue you need to keep politics out of all game groups, no matter where you found them. One of my best tg gamefinder groups was a wfrp game where we had some hyperwoke gay femboy playing an elf girl, alongside at least 2 unapologetic /pol/lacks. It worked fine, we broke each others balls a bit, but none of it made an impact on the game. Because hanging out with people you disagree with when doing a completely unrelated hobby is actually not that hard.
>>98724877I've had a fun time long ago, when I recruited from here, on a GURPS game, a couple guys. Two of them were fun, but constantly insisted on saying "nigger"! All the time. Which made recruiting for more people kinda difficult, but we had a blast on the short campaign.
>>98724850It's kind of wild that people would come to /tg/ and just lie in such a manner like that. Easily fact checked stuff. Not even like some kind of obscure or nuanced thing or subjective judgement. Just blunt counterfactual falsehoods. What do you really think you're even doing here? You know trolling is against the rules, dude.

>>98732578You mean you're still looking for players?
>>98732578Seems kind of weird to try to make 3.5 forwards compatible instead of just making it backwards compatible. Why wouldn't you just use PF1 and import or allow players to choose from the old shitty prestige classes and spells and stuff if they wanted them? They won't, because the old 3.5 classes and stuff just fucking suck. Players want to be able to customize their characters and they don't want to spend ten character levels getting literally nothing whatsoever.
>>98733206Yes, I had no sufficient response from here so far so I'll start looking for players elsewhere too. So far I have 1 confirmed player.
>>98734222I dunno. I just don't know if I want to go back to 3.5 while importing PF1e instead of using PF1e and importing the content you want from 3.5 (like mind flayers and prestige classes and shit).
>>98738355I'm not changing anything (except I bumped starting level to 5), it's your choice. Cheers.
>>98738428Nah. I'm not using the inferior version of a system with so many known problems when the just objectively improved version is available. Your choice tells us everything relevant about who you are and how you run your games. There's a reason you're still begging for players.
