The very concept of selling shit to your friends while playing rpg makes me sick. Maybe I'm too old for this shit.
It's for in-character shopping, not the actual players handing real money over. The idea is that the GM can set up in-game shops that the player characters can browse between sessions so that the shopping doesn't take up session time. Not something I would go for personally, even without the AI art stuff, but definitelt a far cry from implementing microtransactions at your table
Perhaps it's throwing tantrums at my adblocker, but the website that article is on is pretty unuseable as well.
What's the problem? Asking to see if I can fix it. By choice there are absolutely no anti adblocker scripts on the site.
Started reading the article, scrolled down a little, then a pop-up started at the bottom of the screen with a "loading" spinner that never loaded anything, so it was stuck and couldn't be closed. While it was there, scrolling froze so the article became unreadable.
Thanks. I suspect that's Google's "we'll help indie news sites" widget that's supposed to nudge you to patron. It's been on the site for about 30 hours and I'll take it off tonight. You've been more helpful than the megacorp.
I just tried it again and it resolved to a Patreon nag-box. As I'm using Firefox, my usual reaction to things like that is to go to Reader View so I just get the article text.
I've just nuked it. I mean, you're basically a new reader and if Google's silly enough to nag you into Patron then it's clearly not very smart.
