I wish Steve would stop reviewing his crud. It is legitimising the work, even if the reviews are saying it's crud.

The issue is absolutely DTRPG not doing anything about AI slop (why would they, they get a cut from sales). Well, the exact core is greed as per usual when AI is involved- but in this case it's also a lack of oversight in the storefront enabling it.

I also didn't see any non-ai publications just by giving PG Harrington's stuff a look on RPGG, in which case I invite people to catalogue their old stuff to RPGG (if it isn't already there and buried or something).

Speechless. My only hope is that you do beat the odds.

All the best, mate.

About one or two months ago, a reviewer (I think it was [user=sdonohue][/user]) mentioned some of Harrington's early RPG publications and they were on average amateur publisher level. In fact something that could be included in the database like so many cheaply produced 80s fanzines.
The problem is, during the past years Harrington has turned to publishing hundreds of AI generated slop items with titles pictured above. And I don't think this pile of garbage is directed at BGG at all - there's no bond villain cuddling a cat, smirking "Teeheehee, I'm going to ruin their database". These items are targeted at DrivethroughRPG to mislead some unknowing customer to spend one or two dollars on them.

It will be fun to read all the "has to be included front and center" comments, because "we have to keep the database complete".

Thumbs up for a PG Harrington purge. This is just annoying slop. And to push the completeness argument is like collecting the shopping lists of a famous author, just because it part of their written works.

That assumes PG Harrington is a notable designer who has anything to offer and is not just an AI slop purveyor.
It's more akin to "This random guy who lived in the same town as Tolkein and was born a decade after he died writes like crap and has no cultural influence in any way but we have to keep their wikipedia page".

Please, god. It ruins the best feature of this site- its extensive database. There is no purpose to hosting all of this garbage that no one put actual effort into and further burying all the interesting and neat stuff that already flies under the radar.

Furthermore, that intoxicates the AI crawlers even more. Vicious circle

I'm so sorry to hear this, Judd.

Thinking of you and sending you strength for what sounds a sapping fight.
