I spend a fair amount of time working with LLMs both locally and remotely. LLM Studio is an excellent tool for running and managing your own, especially if you want to integrate with your own toolchain.

Meet Gerald, a young accountant whose life is a complete mess, but whose new job in a tropical paradise might bring him love – with a pilot that has a dark secret! What could it possibly be? #TTRPG

Actually having used it, it's not very good. And when I say not very good, I mean actively not good. It doesn't work well. The amount of hype it gets makes me look askance at the people hyping.

Can a game put out nearly 30 years ago run the mean streets with those released in the last month? Mekton Zeta brings a cold-blooded street kid to the cockpit of a giant robot near you! #TTRPG

Every good run has to hit a bump in the road eventually, and this one is mine. Sometimes you just come away from a system disappointed. Find out why Liminal Horror doesn't even reach the places between.

Did you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the TV series? How would you like it without Buffy? Just normal people trying to fight against the monster? Let Father Patrick Rossi show you how. #TTRPG

I don't think that I was properly prepared for the level of psychedelia. Welcome to Warpland, and your only example of a necromantic snake man as a PC. So far this year. #TTRPG #CharacterCreationChallenge

You don't just make a character in the Sundered Isles. You make a setting, and then you make a character to play in that setting. But when you're done, you're ready to go. I'm ready to go. #TTRPG

You don't see too many games set in a grounded yet god-influenced Greek myth. Bronzebound puts that front and center using a great system for it: Ironsworn. #TTRPG #CharacterCreationChallenge #Ironsworn

For extra irony, Trump has done in the first 48 hours of his second term something that the Libertarian Party hasn't managed to pull off in its existence: accomplishing something.

Zero prep, superlight mechanics and group creation of the setting, the party, the character, and the adventure? We're talking about Medley today. High speed, low drag. #TTRPG #CharacterCreationChallenge

Are you fascinated by the idea that stories and abstractions may have actual manifestations in the world? Then, Epigoni may be for you. If you liked Nobilis and Unknown Armies, you'll want to check this

We've got that already in the form of NFTs, and by that I mean his crappy paintings. They exist as tokens to be exchanged for political favors. That blockchain has long existed.

It's nice to get back to some straightforward, low-key, nightmarish horror. And Frisson provides a framework for doing that yourself. Dr. Herbert West (not that one) shows us how it's done. #TTRPG

That was bullshit before the turn of the century, and it remains so.

The objection that anything “written honestly” is better than something which uses a tool is just the age-old complaint of painters bitching about cameras and telling us how they aren't art, that they're

If an AI can write a better motivation letter than you can, then the person who is smart enough to use the AI as an adjunct is more capable than you. It's that simple.

You've never actually tried working with AI, have you? It's not just copy-paste. It's more like riding a horse. You direct, it acts, you refine.

What happens when you have a tactical adventure war game about a SWAT team in the near future? You set it in southern Louisiana and prepare to have yourself a good old time. I gua-ron-tee. #TTRPG
