There are times I start with a concept, dabble a bit in laying it out, and then go to AI to ask it to do some wordsmithing for me. I had it come up with the weekly update template for me, based on things I repeat every week or ideas I want to get across.
I started with the first stanza on what I’m about to share, fed it into (and I can’t believe I’m saying this, let alone using it) Microsoft Copilot for some wordsmithing and ideas. It kept the first stanza and gave me some gibberish I didn’t like and which was not really germane to what I wanted it to say, so I provided context and some specifics for it which it then incorporated. I was kind of surprised it turned out as well as it did.
In any event, I wanted it to get across a few key things – a heartfelt Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and thank you, whether you’re a player, a game master, a Venture-Officer, or staff at any of the venues, conventions, or events we participate in throughout the year. We couldn’t do what we do without all of you.
Enjoy the time with your loved ones, and here’s hoping the new dice you get stay out of jail all year.
Now, without further ado, here’s what Microsoft Copilot came back with from the short conversation I had with it.
‘Twas the Night before Christmas, and all through Atlanta Traffic was horrible, even for Santa. Stockings were hung by those who believed With hopes of something good to tomorrow retrieve.
The players of PFS were snug in their beds, With visions of miniatures and dice in their heads. From Cumming to Fayetteville, the excitement did grow, At Dice Goblin Games, The Crazy Book Lady, and more, you know.
The Game Masters prepped at Giga-Bites Cafe, At Hobbytown USA, and even at Manuel’s each day. They gathered online through VTTs and Discord, To keep the adventures alive, a critical reward.
The team at AtlantaPFS had worked hard all year, Hosting games and events, bringing laughter and cheer. Now was the time to relax and unwind, Celebrating together, in heart and in mind.
