I've only used three free version. One small banner ad across the bottom which has never bothered me. Doesn't seem to add ads to audio.

One of my favorite things to do, paraphrased: Me (to "AI"): Recount the plot to [one of my books] and name five major characters and their roles. AI: [Generates bad plot, correctly names only the protagonist, all other characters and their roles made up] Me: That's wrong, you know. AI: I know.

First for me last night in our Hyperborea campaign. Weird science intelligent Ape-man fighter and Roll20 rolled a Nat 20 on a hit and also max damage dice against one of the party's henchmen. Never seen a double green before.

A job I was looking forward to just fell through because I requested a very basic “please don’t feed my work into the AI garbage chute pls” clause in the contract That was apparently against company policy and non-negotiable If anyone needs a book cover I have an opening in my schedule

Most *white* Americans. There is no country on earth that imprisons more of its population than the US. Prisoners disproportionately Black. The US leads the world in child executions. Not a typo. Disproportionately Black. Life expectancy for US Black folk lower than for Uighur Chinese. Not a typo

My favourite subtle ones are all for movies Flynn's Arcade logo (Tron) The Furies team logo (Warriors) TechNoir on Pico (Terminator) Not a huge fan of gaming tees as, as you say, they aren't subtle enough.

This is not surprising as I was born in the North Atlantic and most of my cable TV came from Maine. But I'm Canadian so there's that.

Ice and elevation. If you are able to take NSAIDs, take one. Topical like Voltaren might work best if you have stomach issues.

Next year is one decade of Alan as a game designer/GKG as a company making stuff (though 2012/2013 was the start of really trying).

It's kinda all led to this point. If you haven't been following the GKG newsletters, this is a long time coming.

Poor marketing decisions which failed to evolve. Put everything in their game without obviously stating, "Please don't put everything in YOUR game" Spent more time explaining genre minutiae than explaining game fun.

I realise that sending this at 1am is not the best time, but I need to talk to someone who understands the formation of words from Greek roots and who can help me with a coinage.
