Griffons of Light

Steve Johnson3 years ago3 years ago01 mins

I’ve been kind of lazy since I hit the 10K goal, but at least a little of it was because it’s been a busy week and because I intended to take a few days off to make the 25K goal unreachable so I wouldn’t decide to shoot for it. I’m back, and I just finished…

Dumb Tables: Random Five-Man Band One-Shot

Steve Johnson8 years ago3 years ago01 mins

This set of dumb tables lets you create a random one-shot game using characters from pop culture. It’s sort of like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, only with much dumber source material (we call the 80s TV version we run at cons “The League of Kick-Ass Dudes”). For these tables, I’m going to use the…

Has Elvis Left the Building? (Elvismancer Preview)

Steve Johnson5 years ago3 years ago01 mins

I just posted an update to the Elvismancer Kickstarter. The plan was to include a writing sample, but the completely reasonable few paragraphs I originally meant to write combined with a throwaway line from an old Death Cookie article and became an 1800-word in-world article. Since that was way too long for a Kickstarter update,…

Will AI Lead to the Enshitification of Art?

Steve Johnson8 months ago8 months ago014 mins

I’ve spent three articles telling you why the most common arguments used by AI opponents are stupid. Most are based on a refusal to understand how anything remotely related to AI—including the software itself, computers in general, intellectual property law, and the creative process—actually works.

The Flying City Approaches

Steve Johnson3 years ago01 mins

This one kind of stretches the prompt (“A rare natural phenomenon that most people look forward to”), but it more or less works. It also brings me to 7 completed prompts, which means I just need to do one more to get the merit badge. Read at World Anvil  Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email
