I cannot say enough about the team who put this together with me.
- It's utterly gorgeous thanks to @joymakesmonsters.bsky.social
- It's technically brilliant thanks to @dndwithplumbing.bsky.social
- And it's fascinatingly weird thanks to @bjarkethebard.com
Opinions needed!
Lets set up a game event in the village. Lets just fundraise, run it for a day in the centre, then have a chill day afterwards, just for gaming and snacks. 1st day: buying, meeting, playing. Local horror stories on the night.
2nd day: chill out, games, movies, community food.
I highly recommend that if you have not already, you take a look and, if you like what you see, you back it now. This is an amazing team who is really passionate about what they do, and I feel lucky to be part of it.
What's My Motivation changed how I think about creating characters, both at and away from the TTRPG table. This book has helped me look more closely at why characters act the way they do. Frankly, it has improved my GMing. Now we have a sequel on the way. Back it!

Oh this is lovely! How did you end up choosing the colors for the horse in particular?
Welp.
Cancelled that account.
Well, welcome to the AI Blocklist, @inkarnate.com. You don't think AI is theft, and now, I think you don't deserve to be accepted here.
Use DungeonDraft or WonderDraft. No reason to waste your time with Inkarnate anymore.

I had moved to Inkarnate because it was easier to use for commercial work, and wanted to get proficient on it. I am more than happy to go back to DD.
And I agree - this was the rock that broke this particular camel's back for me.
Re: Inkarnate and GenAI
This and their follow comment are vitally important. These companies "Know" that they won't suffer as much loss as they will gain in using it
Its on us as consumers to show them the error of this. For those with paid subscriptions please cancel and even if you don't be sure to say you won't use it
Agreed, and I think that is the most frustrating part of this whole situation. We have people at the top who have a decision, and seem to refuse to change it. Reading through the conversation I sensed a subtext of "I am right, and you are wrong. Nothing you say will change that."
Not what I want.
That was almost my exact response as well 😂😞
The post covers a few other things that have happened recently, like using AI Art Assets in an ad campaign.

This was more than enough for me to not want to work with them, which is rather disappointing.
There is a reddit post that covers a lot of it, but to summarize things: Inkarnate is moving towards allowing AI art into their marketplace. This, along with some comments made by their internal staff, makes me (and many others) feel like it is only a matter of time until they start using AI art
@caspi.bsky.social pointed it out to me first thing this morning, and I did exactly what you are doing. It was really unfortunate because they were my go to whenever we needed maps on our projects.
Right? I started using them almost 5 years ago, and really liked them. But ultimately their move towards AI art, along with some of the comments from their staff towards AI, made me unwilling to use them any more.
I saw that the comment was made internally that they were "Not afraid of losing customers" and that take very blatantly tells me their opinions of their users.
This on top of the changes without announcement, and increase in bugs makes me know that I need to go elsewhere.
It's really unfortunate about what has happened with @inkarnate.com lately. This was my go to software for the longest time, as both a creator and a GM.
But with the recent changes, especially regarding the use of AI Assets, I can't in good faith continue to use it.
Super excited to start sharing information about this project. To say that What's My Motivation changed how I approach character building is an understatement.
It helped me rethink how I looked at making three-dimensional character, making it easier and much more fulfilling.
Now, onto worlds...
Alright, everyone! We're starting the "What's My Foundation?" #WeekOfWorldbuilding today! Now, you may be wondering "hey what the hell are you on about, who's we, and who died and made you queen?" Well, we's us, I killed the last guy and took the throne, and the Week of Worldbuilding is a... 1/?
It ia! WE has really made me rethink exploration and environments in the tabletop setting - something you know I Iove!
I am really excited for this project to come out. @thewelshdm.bsky.social knows I love Environments, and this project really highlights the power of the Daggerheart block. Take a look, check out the preview pdf and, if you like it, back it now. There is going to be so much good content in this.
Everyone!! This is not a drill!!
Stop and Back @thewelshdm.bsky.social or the Dice Gods themselves will smite you. I saw the contract it is the power of the Welshman!

Hey...longshot. If I were to attempt to raise the cash here to maintain my hold at the shelter, is that something anyone has the ability/urge to help me whip together rq?
Car trouble last night might have cost me my kitty, and if I could raise $200 by Sunday I could likely still adopt.
