State of the Hobby For Me
Say what you will about that picture, but you can be pretty sure that it's not AI-generated. It took me less time to draw this as it would take an AI user to prompt something in this style-- the folded paper and blue lines would be problematic to say the least. Given there are tools where I can produce about a dozen pages of text per day and a passable images for about 30$ a month, this crappy drawing is me showing my Players that I haven't gone "meta" with crafting the scenarios that we will share. Since we do something about every three weeks I could have a whole paperback novel ready to go every time there's a session. Frankly two to three paragraphs, a couple Stat blocks, and maybe a hand-drawn piece is enough for the standard sit-down these days with the regular games. Weirdly enough, I feel my creative energies are being better maintained than otherwise.
In the background, I am still adding paragraphs at a time to various projects. Spacers: 180° (that means using multiple dice not just 2D6), scribbles to do with Atlantis, and then something about goblins and fairies. As March approaches, I have to get in gear for my GenCon scenarios. May even get serious about revising Crawlspace for a more complete feel and try them on folks at the convention. BUT first, I have to organize the dinner for pre-Con Wednesday night.
As you see, my priorities just aren't industrial enough for the hobby these days.
