It really seems quite uncommon these days based on all these responses!

It’s interesting, it seems like most people don’t use one based on this thread.

For me the wall isn’t the point, I just like the idea of not using a laptop. I already spend a lot of time on the computer.

It sounds like most people are using a laptop!

I would love to get to that point someday. I still need cheat sheets though. 😉

Did you use one before you knew all the rules perfectly?

I like that NPC generator idea. That’s clever!

I actually wanted to get that DM screen you mentioned but it wasn’t available where I live. Hoping it becomes available someday though.

Well the goal would be to not have the laptop

This is never how copyright has worked, and that’s not even talking about getting permission from the person the photo is of. 😑

Why do so many AI people think that just because you found a way to scrape something, it’s OK to use however you want?

I would agree with that. I’d rather not play than play in a bad group (or a group that doesn’t play the style I enjoy)

Yeah, that makes sense. Those people would really hate my games because I’ve switched to call of cthulhu lately and in that game you are absolutely not powerful 😅

I guess that makes sense. To be honest for me it’s such a social experience who I’m playing with is the biggest thing I care about.

Do that many of you really play in these antagonistic as fuck groups? I see so many memes that imply a very a hostile dynamic between DM and players. I think you might need to find a better group if that’s the general atmosphere.

I’m glad I don’t play with people like this.

That does seem nice. One of the many reasons I DM 5e from a “does it make sense” perspective over a rules as written perspective.

That does seem like a big upside!

What are some highlights that make you feel that way? I’ve never played.

I think that’s totally possible, but I also think it’s equally likely that people become better and better at recognizing it. I remember when I was a kid what now looks like terrible CGI in movies was quite believable. People are really good at recognizing patterns, and especially for any kids growing up with AI they’re going to get a lot of exposure to it and likely become very good at spotting it. For all anyone knows it may just become inbred too if they can’t find a way to weed out AI from the training.

I’m not saying the hype the ai industry is pushing about only improving from here couldn’t happen, but it’s hardly a foregone conclusion from what I’ve seen so far.

Maybe someday 🧐

Do you just know that from seeing it on the midjourney feed, or are you able to judge the model just from looking at it? 😮

Looks like an AI gen at a quick inspection. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
