We've just posted a new post in a series called Vajra Game Graveyard, featuring games we wanted to make but probably never will. This post in the series is about a game called Veterans of Interdimensional Wars. See https://t.co/pvcT3BGdtX

@ReismanGuy I'd also give them the ability to take drugs that would allow them to "leave their bodies" and use their Eagle Sight remotely, and in this state to also seek the wisdom of gods/ancestors (who might just be ancestral knowledge accessed via the subconscious).

I did a fan speculation of the plot of the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe game. https://t.co/A7ymBwvL3d

@ReismanGuy If @Ubisoft makes me creative director on the game, which is fairly unlikely, I think I would make it so that the witches have a specialized form of Eagle Sight that helps them while in the dark forests (highlighting the tracks of people, useful plants, etc.).

@ReismanGuy I'd also give them a facility with plant medicines and poisons, including things that could be used in combat to make an enemy hallucinate or follow the commands of the witch.

Jake Richmond (@ModestMedusa) whose comics have graced Scofflaws, First Contact Team and End Times, is doing a Kickstarter to print the newest season of their fun & hilarious Modest Medusa comic. https://t.co/XlX5kaNQj6

Access to these tools will make my book prettier, with more art in each than I would normally have the budget for. I will still budget the same amount for human artists and their illustrations will take center stage.

[Vajra Enterprises | makers of End Times the RPG @VajraRPG]

My thoughts on text-to-image AI, from the point of view of a creative director (the person who pays artists to be awesome) of a small RPG publisher. Plus: images of what the covers of some of my books might have looked like if they had been created by AIs rather than artists.

[Vajra Enterprises | makers of End Times the RPG @VajraRPG]

For someone just starting out in the industry who does not have an art budget (and wouldn't be able to pay an artist in the first place), I think it's fine to use these tools to create some pretty pictures to put in their first books. Lowering the bar for entry is always good!
