One of the things I like about AI Art is the surreal images it can generate which make for great wallpapers and general backgrounds.

Somewhere where nothing happens. Ever.

AI Art is such a godsend when it comes to generating images/art for role-playing game sessions. Iām using it constantly now to generate pictures for player characters and tokens.
The results are getting exponentially better as time goes on.
Here are a few I did a while back using Midjourney while not free, does have the edge out of the box over Stable Diffusion. That said Stable Diffusion is more than capable of generating useable images and tokens, added to which it is free.
Unless you have been living under a rock, you’ll have to be aware of the turmoil within role-playing games community over Hazbo/Wizards of the Coast attempting to revoke the OGL 1.0a license which has been used for 20 or so years.

Naturally this hasn’t gone down to well š
The following video gives a good run-down on the situation along with providing a link to the revised license.
I’ve recently been on a AI image generation role, primarily using MidJourney to create landscapes, but there is a cost to that service (It’s a processing expensive task, so I’m OK with that).
But for the job of creating character portraits, I’ve taken to using Stable Diffusion which is an open sourced implementation which can be run locally. It’s pretty heavy on the hardware requirements, needing a GPU with 6+gb of ram, but if you can meet that the results are pretty good.
The following are some character portraits I’ve used it to create:
