This is at the intersection of #TTRPG and #art for Fedifolks:

I am looking to commission a #map for a #Pathfinder 1e campaign. The setting is a large island, roughly circular, with multiple countries arranged in a ring around a central mountainous plateau wherein a Dark Force (possibly even a Dark Tower *cough*ripping off a beloved board game *cough*) is beginning to stir, threatening the entire island. A few smaller islands may lie scattered around the main island.

Any #artist out there interested in taking the commission? I can describe more if we connect. Definitely a paying job. Any takers?

@nprofile1q... I was originally a "democratization of creation" supporter of AI. I have learned a lot since then. No "democratization" is worth the destruction of both environment and skill that AI is directly responsible for. Down with "AI". (I am neurospicy, if that fact means anything.)

I think running premade adventures in #TTRPG is like another skill I never developed over 20 years. At least some of them. Give me a sandbox-thing or one-pager and I'm on it. But more trad adventures,...

@nprofile1q... No module ever withstood contact from an actual adventuring party. That's why old classic ("basic") D&D modules were point-crawls with occasional timed / reactive bits. To be entirely honest... aside from very badly playing B-series modules at the very start of my gaming career, I've never run through a published adventure. Not in 43 years. That blows my mind!
