The Weekly LIVE 203 – D&D AI Artwork, Eve Online Boardgame, Card Heist at GenCon and ENnie Winners and GenCon News

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

An artist who had contributed to a new Dungeons & Dragons book admitted to enhancing their artwork with AI tools. Wizards of the Coast, the company behind D&D, is having the artist resubmit the work and updating their guidelines to prevent future AI-enhanced art submissions. The controversy arose because the AI-enhanced art included in the book had not been previously disclosed to the publisher.

CCP Games, the company behind the online game Eve Online, is collaborating with Titan Forge to create a board game adaptation called “Eve The Board Game.” The board game aims to capture the essence of the complex spacefaring MMO, featuring 4X game mechanics (exploration, expansion, exploitation, extermination). The adaptation seeks to bring the intricate player-driven dynamics and themes of the original game into the board game medium.

There was a theft of over $300,000 worth of tabletop gaming cards at the Gen Con 2023 convention. Thieves used a pallet jack to steal a pallet of cards while vendors were setting up for the event. The specific cards stolen and the companies affected have not been identified. Authorities are seeking public assistance to recover the stolen items.

Finally, the ENnies awards ceremony at Gen Con recognized excellence in tabletop roleplaying gaming. Various products and content were awarded, including the Best Product of the Year and Best Setting awarded to “Vaesen RPG — Mythic Britain & Ireland” by Free League. The ENnies awards are a fan-based recognition of achievements in the tabletop gaming industry. The update also mentions various announcements and expansions related to games showcased at Gen Con.

The Weekly LIVE 185 – Wyrmwood Accusations, Creator Summit, Zombicide: White Death and OMM VTT Bundle

Posted on by upturnedtable_sx8obi

Luxury gaming table manufacturer Wyrmwood Gaming has been accused of creating a “dangerous” environment for its workers in a new report from technology website Gizmodo. Reporter Linda Codega spoke with around 50 current and former employees to uncover a what they describe as a culture of sexual harassment, workplace misconduct, and sexism — led by co-founder and CEO Doug Costella, who is at the forefront of several allegations.

This past weekend, the D&D Creator Summit saw content creators/influences and publishers from across the community attend WotC’s influencer event. According to play-by-plays of folks attending, one of the continuing refrains at play was that One D&D was definitely not a new edition. Instead, the term refers to a new Player’s Handbook that’s coming out in 2024. And, sure, it will completely reimagine the core classes of the game. And yes, multiple core rules will be updated. Fundamental things about the way the game plays are going to be altered or updated.But it’s not a new Edition. It’s not even 5.5.

The long-awaited sequel to Zombicide: Black Plague and Green Horde has finally arrived! Zombicide: White Death is taking the medieval fantasy setting out into the cold, to the icy lands of a city known as Wintergrad. In addition to the new environment, Zombies, and Survivors, this new installment also brings updated rules and new thrilling mechanics that will send a chill up our spines!

And one of the more exciting VTTs out there is One More Multiverse. This is an online tabletop that supports all-in-one-playing. You can play, share, and stream RPGs all from the same platform, using an imaginative pixel-style world that evokes the glory days of RPG video games. If you’ve never taken OMM for a spin, this is the perfect opportunity with the Intro to Virtual Tabletop Roleplaying Humble Bundle. Animated pixel art is only $1!
