@MelHellstar Agree 💯 my friend. Can’t get used to the “fire at will” combat system.

[Ðrä8er ~ The DOOM Scribe ☠️ @Dra8er]

I’ve hit my limit. I need to share something that’s been weighing heavily on me.

I've played in a DOZEN TTRPGs lately, and I can say with certainty that every single one was driven by an AI-written narrative. And you know what? It was glaringly obvious. The soul was just… gone.

This isn't some "new tech is scary" rant. I've been in this hobby since 1979. My family has been in the business since the early 70s. I own an FLGS. I'm a published author. This hobby is my life.

For nearly 30 years, I've poured my heart and soul into the same campaign world. It's a living tapestry woven with my players, filled with history, mistakes, triumphs, and inside jokes that no machine could ever replicate. We built that. Together.

What I'm seeing now is the opposite of building. It's soulless generation. I use AI myself—as a sounding board, an editor. It’s a tool, not the artisan. But to see the core of our hobby handed over to an algorithm feels like a profound loss. It's like replacing a home-cooked meal with a nutrient paste. It might fill you up, but it will never nourish you.

To all the GMs out there: I'm begging you. Don't let your creativity be outsourced. The heart of this hobby is human connection, shared imagination, the beautiful, messy, unpredictable spark that happens between people. It’s not a string of perfectly bland, algorithmically generated prompts.
Your players deserve your story. Not a soulless echo. Let's champion the GMs who pour their passion into their worlds and the players who bring them to life. Our stories are worth more than that.

@YoDanno I’ve often wondered if something like that was happening there. Thanks Danno!

@MinisterDungeon Ooh! Ten nuts. You found my coworkers!
Kidding of course.

@DwarvenDM Mountain of Mirrors was my favorite. Maybe it was the dragon or the hollowed out mountain. The setting was just damn cool!

@MelHellstar Non desistas non exieris, my friend

[Jim RGF @RaiseGameFully]

@DwarvenDM Good “monsters” are always underutilized IMO. Love this one.

[Jim RGF @RaiseGameFully]

@shadomain Great article! We have a lot in common. I bought D&D books and adventures in Chelmsford as well. I think it was a book store near a big Child World toy store.
