I didn’t even realize Avatar Legends had a box set 🤔

I’m a big fan of a small app called UpNote. It’s clean and simple with a few power features you can use if you really dig into it. It largely has the same baseline set of features as Obsidian, but it supports syncing across devices out of the box and has a one-time purchase of a lifetime membership.
Will this be your first gumshoe game? I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on it after you read it, as gumshoe is a remarkably different play style from D&D.
That's honestly the biggest potential upside with Meta's Threads in my opinion: better chance to grab more of the big online personalities (e.g. it's on the record that they've been reaching out to major celebrities) and (at least for the foreseeable future) Meta seems invested in full-featured Fediverse interoperability including account migration, etc.
GMs, how have you used ChatGPT to help run your games?

ChatGPT [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChatGPT] has been a lifeline for me as a GM with little spare time to prep and far too grand ambitions for the scale and scope of (D&D) campaign I want to run. I’m curious how other GMs have found ChatGPT and similar AI tools useful or helpful in running their own games. I’ll share my own workflow below as a comment, and I hope others find it useful. I’m especially interested in any ChatGPT prompts you have found worthwhile, and you can see some of my own prompts in the examples I’ll share shortly.
The two I would recommend are both centered around GM prep:
- The Lazy Dungeon Master by Mike Shea (@[email protected] , @[email protected] )
- Never Unprepared by Phil Vecchione (@[email protected])
I don't think either of these are perfect, but they both offer really good, actionable advice. The philosophies/systems described in these two don't naturally mesh, and I think that's a plus. Every GM needs to figure out for themselves how to prepare to run a game, because the things each GM needs are unique. I think having two books outline pretty drastically different approaches can help you triangulate your own needs and methods
I mean I don't want to give the impression I ran it with any great success myself. I gave it a shot but scheduling doomed that campaign. I was just sharing the impression that I got from the discord when I was lurking at the time. Plenty of gaps to compensate for, though, no doubt.
I'm a fan of the 3rd party campaign module Odyssey of the Dragonlords and it's hilarious how much this is the consensus on the dedicated Discord community for that adventure. Everyone loves the bones of the module, but everyone also agrees it needs a lot of love and polish.
