Stability Matrix is a Multi-Platform Package Manager/Installer for Stable Diffusion. I wish I had known about it before I did the presentation of Stable Diffusion because it is so much easier to use. It’s pretty close to a one button installer for Windows/Mac/Linux.
I will need to redo the installation slides (pages 26 through 29) in the Beginner’s Guide to Stable Diffusion, AI Art for Gamers presentation, because this is just so much better. I’ll post here when that’s finished.
Do me a favor and leave a reply and introduce yourself so I can make sure you have an invite to my Discord.
So, after spending the last two weeks working on my Keynote slide deck, finally did my presentation on Sunday, 2/16. I had roughly 12 attendees and I think it went well. The big thing was that I got the length of the talk correct, and that there were questions.
The link to the landing page for the presentation is here:

You will find a PDF of my presentation there as well as some resource links.
So yes, most of this site is dusty as hell. I apologize, as I let things drop. I do still want to come back to Character A Week, but that will wait until after the reason I’m updating.
I will be presenting a talk on Stable Diffusion and AI Art and it’s utility for gamers at Dundracon in Santa Clara, CA on Sunday, February 16, 2025. Once the I have presented, I will be posting my slide deck and links to various resources on a dedicated page here.
If you see this and can attend, please do so if you’re interested. If you aren’t able to attend, check out the dedicated page for my presentation materials.
I’d done a Twitter survey, and the three people that responded voted for Mutants & Masterminds for this installment of Character A Week. This would be the first point based character gen I’ve done here and it’s taken me a bit longer than anticipated. I hope to have the walkthrough posted tomorrow, but here’s the stat block for the moment,

No, really. I mean it this time.
I am now enrolled in the DriveThruRPG.com affiliates program. You’ll see two RSS feeds listing top sellers and new products. I’ll mostly be using this to link to PDFs of the games I’m posting characters for.
Just installed Monsterinsight’s Google Analytics plugin so as to get some idea of traffic. Nothing much to see here. Please move along…
A bit under the weather, so I’m a bit remiss. Will post later this week.
I made an attempt previously, to try and do this on tumblr. It’s not a bad social network, but it works for certain types of blogs better than others. Anyhow, I will slowly be dusting off my old posts and putting theme here.
