I had this same experience with Traveller. Grok was convinced that something about Darrian culture was in the OG alien module that categorically was not. Even uploading a pfd of said book gave it trouble.

Seems it was fannon that Mongoose decided to add in after the fact, very naughty 😅

@Nerdcognito I always assumed it was a show, as in a scripted (it somewhat improv) show. Did they claim it wasn't?

I don't know, I never really watch live plays of any kind these days anyways

@SandyofCthulhu @LawDogStrikes Globally speaking, it's definitely Call of Cthulhu

I love Champions but-

This is probably the best advice to motivate girls to wear armor and do fencing.

YES

Ayo 90,000 followers reached!!

Around this time last year, I was in a terrible state after my previous account was compromised. Despite submitting support tickets to the Help Center every day, I couldn't get any meaningful assistance.

At the time, I felt deeply defeated. I thought I had been quite careful about online security, yet I still got caught out in the age of AI-generated content. I was deceived by what appeared to be a podcast invitation from a genuine fan. Only afterward did I realize just how easy it has become to impersonate a fan today. All someone has to do is ask an AI, and it can immediately summarize the themes and characteristics of a creator.

Unfortunately, I live in Taiwan, where there is no direct or authorized X Corp service center. That meant there was effectively no path to get better resolve. At a friend's suggestion, I even tried sending a traditional handwritten letter to X Corp's headquarters. Sadly, even that old-fashioned sincerity no longer seems able to reach anyone.

Just another year later, AI generation has developed exactly as we predicted. It has become deeply integrated into everyday life. Most of the apps you use probably have some form of AI assistant now. Avoiding it entirely has become almost impossible.

But enough of side topics.

What matters most is offering my sincere gratitude—and also an apology.

I'm sorry that over the past year I've become increasingly busy. I haven't been able to engage with everyone the way I used to after posting a drawing, and I've rarely had the opportunity to interact with other mutual artists or draw their characters. What I want to say is that I still love you guys and all my mutual artists. And thank you all for helping my new account return to 90,000 followers within a single year. Hopefully it won't be long before we reach 100,000 again!🥺

A huge thank you to everyone who helped play test, boost us, spread the word, and of course to everyone who backed us.

Our crew appreciates it so much… you are all damn fine Ruttigers!

(This version without my silly typo :)

[Ironlily @IronlilyS]

You know what? People always praise knights or samurais, and they're all nobles. We should promo some ordinary soldiers!

If you see this post, post a soldier!!

NIGHT BELOW (1995), a pair going to the shop. A complete Underdark campaign, with amazing art by Arnie Swekel, plus old school pieces by David A. Trampier and Erol Otus. What a hidden gem! I've got a deep-dive into the art and printings at my photoblog; link in the comments.

[Carpenter B Gibson @CGibsonWriting]

@Waynes_Books Yea, especially when a $1 would do just as well 😅

[Carpenter B Gibson @CGibsonWriting]

@Waynes_Books don't be cheap man, go ahead and include the dime 😅

GAMMA WORLD 1st ed (1978-82): The Original Post-Apoc RPG

[Wayne's Books @Waynes_Books]

Got a couple of GAMMA WORLD 1st edition boxes going to the shop. Gonzo post-apocalyptic Nort America started here. Over at my gameblog, I have a love-letter in photos and some background you likely don't know; link in the comments.

[Wayne's Books @Waynes_Books]

A couple of original Forgotten Realms Campaign sets going to the shop. Two different printings. If I were to do a FR campaign, I'd start with the Gray Box, all else optional. I've got a deep-dive into this set at my photoblog, with pics of all the variants; link in the comments.
