    It is scary, less because of AI itself and more because of corporate greed and regular people without critical thinking skills that will blindly trust anything AI tells them. AI is and can be a really useful tool for a lot of scenarios. I use it as a coding assistant for my job almost daily. But I dont blindly accept what it tells me or programs. I test, debug, and research things. Its good for summarization, easy, repetitive tasks, and taking suggestions from the internet.

    AI is a tool, and like any tool, it can be really dangerous if you don’t use it in a smart way.


    You’re right, not bird enough. Maybe Kaepora Gaebora?



    Chadwick Boseman. I was 24 when he died. I’m mixed and a huge nerd. He was one of the first times I saw representation like that in a comic book hero in a movie or TV show. T’Challa was a king, and his death came out of nowhere


    I can’t help with mods, but other games scratched the same itch for me. The wild era zelda games (breath of the wild & tears of the kingdom) are a dead ringer, and I probably spent over 600 hours across both. The Horizon series (horizon: zero dawn, horizon: forbidden west) are really good. A bit more story than skyrim, less caves, but still lots to do, and if you don’t know the story, the first game has so much mystery in its world building thats fun to discover as you play!

    I prefer the fantasy genre, so similar sci fi games didnt do it as much for me, but some of the fallout games and the outer worlds games are similar gameplay. The Outer Worlds 1 is basically just Firefly but with less charming characters, but i mean its hard to compete with Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, and Alan Tudyk.


    I have to disagree. This quote would be super shitty talking about microtransactions, but if this is about Peak, I dont believe they have any microtransactions in their game. Its the full price of the game. And honestly, if you have friends to play it with, $8 is a steal. Its nothing ground breaking or like world changing, but it’s a fun time-waster to spend time with people you like and accomplish a goal with decent replayability.



    Boots On The Ground is the group that I look to. They’re in the KC Meteo area, and extremely active. They do lots of trainings on know your rights and legal observation. I dont have any packets on me, but I’m sure if you email them, they’d be more than happy to share info


    Relationships are weird and complicated. I’ve yet to meet a human who has a simple relationship with both parents, lol. Life is complicated, but I truly hope things get better for you. Sending good vibes your way!


    So sorry for your loss. You’re a stronger person than me. My dad passed when I was 16. Liver and kidney failure from alcolishm. We weren’t exactly close, and I cant say i liked him at the time, but he was still my dad. I couldn’t handle being there in the end. The sounds like you describe them were too much. I never had grief nightmares, but i also haven’t had vivid dreams since i was like 10. I did have a few panic / anxiety attacks in the years immediately after, but they stopped pretty quick. I’m about to turn 30, and I promise you, every day gets a little easier. I’m sure your therapist is a better resource, but you ever want to talk to an anonymous stranger, my DMs are open.




    Ireland, hands down. I’ve been twice, and both times I’ve been absolutely enamored with the country. I’m from the Midwest, so a lot of it is probabky just the differences and the fact I’m on vacation. But the castles and walkabke cities, and rolling hills, and so much green instead of brown or yellow! I’m also a fantasy nerd, so I’m a sucker for anything that can have a medieval spin.


    Ooh, yeah! I don’t have much experience writing cookies, but that’s a really good idea!


    Absolutely! I agree that the potion should be a little more expensive. Its just a flat 60 feet no stipulations or concentration. Where the broom is 60 feet, 30 if its carrying over 200 lbs, and you could get knocked off. I also do variants of a lot of potions where they last until a long rest for things like resistance and stat bonuses. For reference, my broom of flying is 125 gp, and my long rest potion of flying is 500 gp.


    Oh yeah, I’ve already gotten a list of items and prices, and I generally followed the price guidelines listed in the DMG (uncommon 100 - 500 gp, rare 500 - 5,000 gp, etc). There were some outliers, but yeah. My biggest worry is that my arbitrary opinions on prices will not vibe with what ither people think. I’m floating ideas of possibly trying to crowd source this to the internet somehow to get people’s opinions. Thanks for the feedback!


    Fair! I’m hearing that a lot in this thread, so maybe there’s not as much of a desire for this as I thought. I think I must run a more high magic world than most people. Those are all super valid complaints, and I’m hoping that having an actual suggested price point will help that. Ya know, buybat this price, sell it like 50% - 80% that price. Do you mind if I ask if you think this website would help you? Or would you just consider it more useless blpat to the process? L


    Totally valid! I personally run a very high magic world where enchanted items are fairly common. Mind you most things above Uncommon in rarity are very expensive or quest rewards. I like the feeling of magic being a constant in my world, so I like to pepper in items that I wouldn’t normally know about because I haven’t read all of them.

    But I think for DM’s who run worlds closer to yours, I’ll probably add a filter so you can exclude anything of a certain rarity or base price out. Thanks for the feedback!


    Also, if there are any online tools for ttrpgs you wish existed, please share them! I’m taking a “sabbatical” from my software engineering job to reassess my career and work on personal projects, so I’m looking for inspiration! This all came from what I considered a gap that I wanted to fill for my own games, and turned into something I’m hoping to use as a live portfolio for interviews. And if it makes a couple bucks on the side passively, which I’m doubtful, that’d be great!
