Taking note that your moral compass is off regarding artists and art creation; let's assume you have some high regard towards your own creations since you're listing them in your signature. Would you be ok to have your work and the works of other rpg authors fed into for example ChatGPT, allowing others to use said material to create new works without you being compensated and credited(not to mention making you obsolete in the process)?

How is this different than them having the book, having read it in the past, and using it as inspiration to write an RPG book that is similar, but not exactly the same? Every single new edition of RM has used the information from the previous one and presented it slightly changed. There's a whole lot of what you just said here that's been happening for decades with RM (and lots of other stuff).

Also, I don't particularly have a 'high regard' for my work. I'm simply listing it so if people have questions about them they can ask. (I could point out a number of instances where I've said a whole lot of people could do what I've done if they just sat down and made themselves do it. Even within the last couple of days).

 AI generators use and merge pre-existing images, they can never in the near future learn to paint something on their own without relying on scraped databases of images and photos made by humans, scraped and used without said artists consent.

Thanks guys, but please note the RMU tag in the subject.

Older versions of the game may have different assumptions about what an appropriate level is, after all.

We always played it that the target is under their own power. Hopefully they took some ranks in Acrobatics to be able to control their maneuvers...

Hello - sorry if this is kinda off topic.

In the hopes of helping more people find more ICE games,  I have setup a google calendar for ICE related games.   So if you have an RM game and you accept players from the public (ie anything that is not just you a specific set of friends/family), send them through to me and a I'll list them.   
You don't need to have a vacant seat at this very moment, just that you may.   I do +not+ intend to try and track that (there lies madness).  You can PM me here or on discord (nashidau)

This allows people to see when the game is in their own time zone.

Listings are for both online and in-person game.

Details:
System: RMU/RMC/HARP/Sherlock-Homes-Solo-dramatic readings
Language: English/French/etc
Frequency:  Weekly/Monthly/something I can shove in a calendar
Time: (and data) When Time, day of the week AND timezone
Location: In person:   City/State/Country (or local equivalent)
        VTT:  Roll20/FG/ERA/IRC  + Voice: Discord/Skype/Ham radio
Contant: Who and how to contact the organiser (GM usually)
Description:  About the game ;-)

Google Calendar

If this seems popular I'll probably ask for a volunteer or two to help maintain it.

Happy gaming!
