Totally unrelated but I'm very excited for you to see tomorrow's video and vote for your current favorite TTRPG! Good luck picking just one!

Call me Bob Garden Builder! 🧑‍🌾🌱 Spring has finally sprung here, and I just posted a seasonally appropriate world-building challenge! 👉 www.patreon.com/posts/156687091

Reminder that all "World Builder Club" Patreon posts are free, in the spirit of just making cool stuff! 🌍 This month, your challenge is simple: design an "important plant."

Truly, the detailed flora of Tolkien's Middle Earth is the one aspect that, to my knowledge, no other fantasy author has even tried to replicate! So this month, I encourage you to create just one plant for your RPG campaign.

For inspiration, actually touch grass, then share your idea for a fantastical flower, poison, monster, healing herb, food, or other original plant on the post linked above!

Guys, drawing is fun! 🧑‍🎨 I've been having a blast making art for my new zine, and this is my favorite piece yet! It's the "dragon" of the dungeon... ULDRUUN THE GREAT BLACK HERON: This immense black bird moves and coils like a serpent on crooked, stilt legs, buzzing gutturally through its lance of a beak.

Thanks again for everyone who backed the project! It's really been wonderful getting to work on different creative muscles. Link for those hearing about this zine for the first time: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bobworldbuilder/helfa…

D&D Online-Community Survey: Have you heard about the DungeonTube "debate" between One Shot Questers, Min Maxed, and Crispy's tavern? 🤔 You might say I'm late to this topic (or that it's not worth talking about) but trust me, I'm arriving exactly when I mean to! 🧙‍♂️ This week we're discussing how this controversy proves something interesting about this community!

PS: Speaking of timing, instead of my normal upload at 11:30 AM Eastern US, this Tuesday we're delaying slightly to 1 PM.

Question for D&D Beyond Users: Would you use the upcoming "Rules Assistant" search tool if it were powered by AI/an LLM? 🤖
*The DDB Maps program Rules Assistant is still in testing, and despite lots of AI assumptions, there's no confirmation yet on how it works. But this question connects to some recent headlines about Hasbro's CEO essentially saying 'there's no AI in D&D because fans don't want it...''

...Meanwhile, he's clear in the actual interview that he thinks fans' negative perception of AI will change!

We'll cover the full story in Tuesday's video! ▶️

And later on, it'll be interesting to see how these poll results compare to various forum posts about the Rules Assistant. On DDB, people seemed cautiously pessimistic, not wanting AI, but not jumping the gun. On Reddit, people seemed to already assume it's definitely AI-powered, and they didn't mind if it's only for searching, not creating.
