@zaph @Stamets ai just doesn’t do those relations that well. It knows how riddles are supposed to look like, but I doubt it can do the mental leap between questions and answers

@MouseKeyboard @sirblastalot +2 sword, can’t stop attacking until blood is drawn

@jounniy @PugJesus it’s a dirty joke, and not necessarily a good one

(no accounting for taste though…)

@DmMacniel @TheGreatDarkness because it sells. And no matter what hobby stuff is going on, dnd players are disconnected from that to a point. There are people that do not even realize there is a wider hobby outside of 5e

@StringTheory @Five that’s something that some people do actually believe. it is scary that people like that run around, but every ones in a while you run into that sort of person.

@Susaga @pinkdrunkenelephants you are not getting the real twist. Replace the sword with a fake, completely non-magical one.it doesn’t have to be evil. The paladin only has to believe it only hurts evil people.

@DerPapa69 because in my survey of English and German (and sometimes French and Polish) articles this topic in general doesnt come up. Sure there might be lots of articles written about it, but if they are all in Chinese I won’t he able to find them.

(Same reason why a lot of roleplaying scenes are kind of a mystery. If something is written about only in one language it’s not really easy to find it, even if translation apps exist)

@lategamer @kyonshi@lemmy.ml why does it always have to be a market?

I’m more interested in the mindshare rpgs have there. How are they playing? What are they doing? Is it only larps?

@lategamer @kyonshi@lemmy.ml actually not much as such, but one barely hears about roleplaying games in that part of the world, and to have it big enough to elicit a government response is interesting, don’t you think?

@kyonshi@lemmy.ml what I noticed it doesn’t do is use the #ttrpgs tag I set in the title among the hashtags on Mastodon. I can click it, it shows me the posts for the hashtag, but it doesn’t actually show the post in the timeline.
I assume that’s because I posted it via lemmy. I wonder what would happen if I posted it via ttrpg@a.gup.pe instead

@kyonshi@lemmy.ml This has been posted to the RPG group of Lemmy.ml. which I have subscribed as an activitypub contact, which allows me to boost and star it. The star works as an upvote in the lemmy-thread.

that all is pretty cool I think,
