Tried making a similar post in unpopularopinion but they banned me for it. Figured here might be better.

People who make porn (usually this is about the drawn kind but it happens in live-action stuff too) seem to think that giant tits and asses are appealing. While yes it can be, bigger is not better in my opinion. Often times it comes off as comical or outright unappealing.

I'm no prude, but we can do so much better than tits bigger than someone's head.

The campaign I am running is a self-made module that I ran a few years ago to great success. The previous players were independent, creative, and capable of finding plot threads even I didn't think of.

I figured since that game was so fun I'd do it again after it ended with a new group of players. These guys aren't newbies, but I feel like compared to the previous player group they're less motivated to roleplay, explore, or take risks. I often have to basically ask them if they want to do something, bordering on railroading. It's a little frustrating.

I myself mostly balance health, stamina, and weight. I don't see myself needing the other stats that much. What about you guys?

I get they're meant to be funny and generate funny responses but they're just not that funny to me. I wouldn't mind them if they weren't everywhere.

So recently I've been making using of GLM 5.1 and GLM 5.2 for use in outlining guides for DND character builds and I've been noticing that I keep having to correct it over details and having very inconsistent responses.

For reference, I tested Gemini with the same prompts and got way better and more consistent responses that require less if any corrections. The only reason I'm not outright using Gemini is that Venice won't self-censor itself.

I'm driving myself up a wall trying to find this so please help me out.

I used to watch it on DVD after I rented it from my local library. This was back in the early 2000's. It was some weird CGI animated show about anthropomorphic frogs, like they were upright and naked I'm pretty sure.

There was one episode I remember where the main character ends up getting tickets to some amusement park and is excited for it but it turns out she only has enough for two people I think and the conflict was her having to choose who gets to come.

Edit: Added a detail.

So I was brainstorming because my brain never really shuts off. I was thinking of doing something like the game Darkest Dungeon, probably as a short campaign but still in the planning phase.

For those who aren't familiar with the game, here is the premise: You are the heir of a former noble family, damned due to the actions of a hedonistic forebear who spent the family fortune excavating an ancient portal underneath the family estate in search of power beyond wealth only to release tide after tide of unspeakable horrors into the world. In his final letter, he makes one final request of you: drive back these horrors and redeem the family name.

The game itself is a roguelike where you effectively dungeon crawl across various maps in at least four different areas, not including the titular dungeon itself. You fight monsters, loot things, watch for traps (and disable them if you spot them), and come back to your hamlet with what you found.

There are mechanics where your characters gain stress and get various afflictions if you don't manage them, positive and negative quirks, and diseases. When you're not on your expeditions, you're helping build up the hamlet with what you gather and making your characters stronger. The game also implies that these expeditions take a week to finish.

I was thinking if I were to translate this into an actual campaign I think what it will have to do is have most if not all the combat and exploration during segments where you're exploring the areas and the time in the Hamlet is when you do stuff like roleplay, sell and buy, stuff like that. That's just a first draft though.

Do you think I could make this work? What would you recommend to make it work?

This doesn't always happen, but it happens often enough I have to either edit it extensively or just redo the prompt so it doesn't do it.

Basically it will have the characters speak like this:

"That was X"

"It's Y" they corrected.

This does not sound at all like how people write things and I don't know how to get it to avoid writing this way.

For those unaware of what I'm referencing, in the movie Men in Black there is an alien cockroach that kills a guy, hollows out his body, and wears his skin as a disguise. It's very poorly fitting and he's moving in a very jerky and inhuman way and sounds it too. He can make parts of his bug body come out for various things and eventually tears it off.

I'm thinking of playing a Thri-Kreen for this but I'm unsure what class to play for this and how to utilize the whole "skin-suit" thing. As tempting as barbarian is for this I've been using the class a lot and it's gotten boring for me.

Like for example here's what I call some of them:

​

Argentavis- Archie

​

Baryonx- Barry

​

Brontosaurus- Stompy

​

Chalicotherium- Drunks

​

Daeodon- Hell Hogs

​

Diplodocus- Pushies

​

Iguanodon- Berry

​

Kaprosuchus- Prince Croc

​

Parasaur- Perry

​

Ichthyornis- Thief Bird

​

Phiomia- Pig

​

Pteranodon- Terry

​

Sarco- King Croc
