Cheerio, @anti-wizard-council! I was leaving you to your own devices, since you were on the Wizard Council, but I understand that's no longer the case now, and… I'd like to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind.

Actually, I'd like to ask you a few questions even if you do mind.

Do you know the current location of your enemy's enemy and mine, @anti-anti-anti-wizard-council?

(When I say "mine", of course, I mean my enemy, not my enemy's enemy, though I suppose that makes me your enemy's enemy's enemy… or something like that; I think I lost count again. Anyway, where's @anti-anti-anti-wizard-council?)

You have forced my hand. Look at John Green, boy

[snarky-magpie]

I've seen too much Regulus hate lately... he's perfect, alright? My precious boy. I'll fight anyone who claims otherwise (politely and respectfully because people are allowed their own headcanons).

So, it seems like WOTC hired an AI artist for their latest book (Glory of the Giants). The "artist" (in their social media) openly advertises themself as an AI "artist".

I guess the whole OGL mess and sending the Pinkertons wasn't enough, they had to reach a new low. Fantastic timing, gotta say, all while GenCon (the biggest TTRPG con) is currently ongoing.

starting a dumbledore hate club who's with me?

[adharastarlight]

Sirius, jumping onto a chair: ew! someone kill it!!!

Mcgonagall: Sirius you cannot do that every time Severus walks in.

I really wish people would look up what ‘death of the author’ actually means. Trust me, it does not mean turning a blind eye to someone using their vast wealth and popularity to actively hurt trans people or spread misinformation about the Holocaust.

Despite how WOTC/Hasbro have sworn off using AI several times (and then got caught using it, like here or here), and then casually firing +1000 employees this year (many of them being artists), their CEO is predictably musing about how to incorporate it, and readily making use of the technology for some other products, and testing how it may be of use for DnD/MtG.

I had mentioned it was just a matter of time, and even when some people were very eager that WOTC would never, well. Who would've thought. It's the same company that showed again and again no respect for its audience, their creators or even the biggest fans. (The OGL mess was about a year ago. They sent the Pinkertons to a fan less than a year ago). Because delivering a quality product isn't really their goal, nor is it to actually compensate artists fairly.

I don't think this is breaking news, but I'm mostly bringing it up in case people wonder where they stand. They also have a poll where you can tell what you think about them (no actual written feedback, only "pick from these 5 options"). And as a final note Margaret Weiss (creator of the Dragonlance, who had some big disputes with them- Including a lawsuit towards WOTC) has come forward to tell how little WOTC has respected her series. Not long ago a book set in the setting (Fizban's Treasury of Dragons) got released, and it cared very little about being respectful towards the world or her work. Which tracks with their usual behaviour, because Eberron was also mangled quite badly.

Just, as a reminder, there's many wonderful TTRPGs that are far more worth to support monetarily, or even available to play for free. (Recently all of the PF2e remaster has been posted on Archives of Nethys- A page that has all the mechanics from all the books for free, which is endorsed by the company itself.)

But yeah. As a small creator and artist, it's surely lovely to see how much the biggest TTRPG company out there respects us.
