Shores of Night

Years ago, I used to post five songs I liked on a Friday, and well, didn't keep it going because I tend to be quite forgetful about maintaining this blog. I wanted to share a song today that I love and that always speaks to me on a deep level. It often makes me want to cry, but at the same time, I find it uplifting.  It showcases the energy I want to put into the world most of the time because I'm conscious of how hard most of us have it, and how hurt many of us are once we reach past the superficial.

I just didn't feel it was real, somehow (I mean, obviously it's not, but it feels like it lacked the character that abounds in the Old World setting for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay). With that in mind, I asked ChatGPT about making me a spine for an adventure and it provided something about a haunted house. So far, so Call of Cthulhu, really, but it was decent enough. I asked for a sequel, and then a sequel to the sequel - specifying that I wanted the third adventure to involve pirates.  The LLM did its job, and it was an interesting opportunity to play around with that and the Age of Sigmar, so I asked it to start building this city - Greyhaven. It was an interesting experiment, though probably not one I'll repeat too often. The AI was usually able t...
