Yeah, I have no idea how you managed to do all this beside your host's jobs. I mean even my flimsy responses and stupid AI images took hours each and every day.

I am not worried about the narrating part. Host is a good storyteller and while the grimdark part might be lost in favor of mapping the tree diversity in Kryptgarden Forest, that's all doable. In fact I have already worked out something very obvious and very goblinesque we could do right now before the dragon.

The story's not the issue, but doing the battle math is absolutely not doable for us. Actually I don't want to know anything about the DM mechanics, it ruins the immersion. So unless Tamamo or Kashtan take over that part, the only viable option is offloading this to AI with a custom locally running LLM. I'm still positive this can be done, unfortunately not with our hardware as I vetoed host's attempt to buy a 5000€ AI workstation a year ago. The same would cost 20,000€ now and I'm not spending that much just to play D&D and make funny pictures. Unfortunately it will probably take at least until 2028 until the obscene prices go down. Until then, we'll have to find something else. Remember, I'm very bad at giving up or settling with sub-optimal solutions. I'll think if something. But it's not gonna happen tomorrow.

For now I have 2 favors to ask from each of you:
1) keep posting and don't disappear
2) think of fun things we can do together that don't become a chore.
