  • While I would never try to publish something generated by AI, I do use AI tools for PC and NPC portraits (mostly this person doesn't exist, because I suck at prompting) in a personal capacity for games I'm in. I prefer it to taking historical photos and using those, which I've known several GM's to do, often without checking who the person was, or assigning the photo of a civil rights activist as a villain (yeah, don't play in that game any more).

    I have mixed feelings on AI as a field. I don't believe it is reliable when it comes to decisions or coding. But it can be useful as a starting point. For people with zero artistic skill and limited funds it can be a useful tool.

    I would say "no promotion or selling of AI generated content, but discussion of AI and it's possible uses is okay". I don't even mind posting of AI art, as long as it is clearly labeled.

  • I love Fossil-scm. Even host my own instance with my web host. I was considering using github moving forward, but given recent events and decisions by Microsoft, I'll be sticking with Fossil-scm.

  • If you are not wed to git, and are willing to try something else, why not give Fossil SCM a try. It's created and maintained by the creator of SQLite. It's a single executable that provides everything for modern source code management, including a website, and even has an official docker file that just works.

    Issue tracking, forum support, email, it's all there, in a single executable that can serve as both the front and back end depending on how you launch it. And it's a smaller install than git by itself.

  • I've been an on and off member of the ARRL every since I was first licensed in the 90s. At one point, I was even a VE. I don't remember exactly what made me decide to drop membership many years ago, but in the following years the actions of the ARRL have not inspired confidence.

    I have received zero emails about my VE status, and I haven't participated in any licensing sessions in years.

  • Yes, the story engine is the core system. It's primarily what I used for my solo game, as Traveller has enough other systems to fill in the world running. But I think the character engine might be simpler than using something like the Traveller 5 personals system if you truly need some randomness to how NPCs will react.

  • Biggest issue I see with gramps-web is that it is only available as a docker image. While awesome from a distribution standpoint, many don't have a docker based web hosting account.
