Ideas for Using Generative Artificial Intelligence for Your RPG
First, it’s fine not to use them. I mean, I’ve done pretty well for decades without one, so how much is it going to help if I start using them now? Not much.

Testing a House Rule for D&D from Almost 30 Years Ago
Here’s why: I was trying to fix a problem with a plugin on this site and there seems to be a cache I can’t figure out, which stops me from doing what I want to do. So, just to get out of that frustrated mindset I decided to do some other light coding instead.
