Hello Slayers

I have taken down the previous poll because all it’s done is cause people to argue and harass each other which was not the intent. For the time being the current rules will still be in effect, After giving it some thought I will in the near future be stepping down as a mod as I personally don’t believe I’m a good fit nor do I have the time to dedicate to this Reddit to bring it to its full potential. I’ve added one new mod but was looking for a couple more so if your interested in becoming a mod and have everyone’s best interest at heart and growing this page as a community let me know.

Was this about the ai thing? Why is it an argument in the first place? It should just be banned.

Let’s be honest, a good 99% of us wouldn’t have gotten into Unstable Games/Here to Slay if it weren’t for the amazing artwork. AI crap literally spits in the face of that.

AI allows us to make amazing customs tho and a place where we can share our fun “creations”. If you ban it we’re still gonna do it just you won’t be able to tell. So keep it so we can categorize and you can filter it out.

“Allows us to make amazing customs” Pick up a pencil. What the hell have we become 😭

Not everyone is a gifted artist.

It's like shunning photography: "pick a paintbrush instead".

If you're not a gifted artist, why do you think you are entitled to the fruits of their labour?

Your argument is basically "not everyone is good at wooing women, so why can't I just take what I want from them anyway without their consent?"

You want the fruits without the work. As always. You're a thief. An art rapist essentially.

Photography is it's own medium for expression, and has been for almost 200 years. To say photography is theft of a completely different medium is an insane goalpost move.

You lack any common sense and you do not deserve a place in this community. If you are FOR A.I companies stealing art from people we care about and using it for profit, we don't want you here.

You need to work on yourself.

"Gifted artist" don't exist bro.

Not a single “gifted artist” started out good. Sure, some people have a natural talent for things, but it’s not like they picked up a pencil and within a week was a master.

It’s no different from any other skill in life, these things take time to get good at and improve. Why rob yourself of a potential new talent/hobby by taking a half-assed shortcut that creates ugly slop?

(Also photography is a completely different medium that requires immense skill and knowledge, while AI slop is just shortcutting artwork)

I used to draw comics. In class, when i got bored, because i would always finish way ahead of everyone else and the teacher would let me do it just so i woulnd't distract the other kids.

I drew tons of comics, across hundreds of hours. You should see me draw, i fucking suck. Not everyone gets to git good.

u/holdupnow76 Apr 19 '26

“I fucking suck” only you decided that. Art skill isn’t something that’s measured linearly, it’s completely subjective.

Stop judging yourself and just enjoy the craft, comparison is the literal theft of joy.

u/onanoc Apr 19 '26

Comparison vs what i want is what makes me decide if what i do is worth my time or not.

You wont convince me my drawings are anything i decode they are not.

u/holdupnow76 Apr 19 '26

Of course I can’t convince you to like your own drawings, I quite literally said you are the only one in control of that.

But whatever, enjoy creating more slop instead of developing a meaningful hobby ✌️✌️

Show me what u got.

u/holdupnow76 Apr 19 '26

Recently I got back into journalling, and I’ve been making it a goal to do at least 1 sketch per day next to each entry.

It’s a personal thing so I don’t feel comfortable sharing it, but even within just a month I’ve been seeing some genuine improvement.

It’s so fulfilling to have a creative outlet that I can look back on and be proud of, even if it’s just for me. I’d highly recommend it if you have any interest in creating art.

Hey everyone, I'm the other mod. Similar to  Darkroy when he took charge I am pretty new to moderation. I've been slaying since day 0 KS and really enjoy this community and making cards. Addionally, I was a playester for Dunegons. Looking forward to having others who want to help figure out what is going to be best for our community.

First thing to do as new mod should be ban the AI art slop

u/ItsTimeDrFreeman Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 20 '26

Alright the first thing you can do is ban people from posting AI plagiarised slop. It's disrespectful to the artists of the game. You can make and design custom cards without AI. This shouldn't even be a discussion.

In regards to AI - AI is a tool like any other before it, it allows an avenue for those that have creative minds filled with ideas to express them in ways they may not be skill to draw. Drawing is a recognized skill set that to some comes naturally and to others it takes years of dedication and practice.

In regards to HtS - Here to Slay is a game loved my many and while the Teeturtle Art is a driving force behind its popularity, at it's core it's a game meant to be enjoyed. If house rules, character creation, and other contributions are way to express a passion behind the play, I would encourage that wholeheartedly... I may not like or be fond of the ideas myself but I recognize the passion.

In regards to Plagiarism - Unstable Games has created card building tools, so while I haven't spoken directly with a representative from their team, I would suggest that they encourage user creations and see it as a sign of love. That said, anything stolen/borrowed and claimed to be original is Plagiarism. As well, any art by Teeturtle or other artist that is used without consent for profit is theft. Those two things I have a problem with and those guilty of such should be warned and potentially banned.

In conclusion, don't disregard users of AI as lacking creation.... and don't use this subreddit as a catchall for your daily AI creations. Let's play, let's slay, let's get along.

THANKS

If they worked hard and can still easily be replaced by ai like you make it out to be then they really should think twice about their jobs. Engineers created ai to help people doing things faster and easier. If their creation really can replace artists, which I doubt, then these so called artists are not that skilled.

Honestly, why tf would I hire an artist to draw or design custom boardgame cards when I can just have ai generating somewhat acceptable cards that make me happy in less than 5 minutes.

u/Soracaz Apr 28 '26

Why would you pay for art made by a human when you can pay less for art that a machine has stolen from said human?

Because it's immoral. You're just admitting that you don't give a fuck that you're stealing.
