Today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show, we're going to talk about the Kobold Press' Labyrinth Kickstarter, which is just coming out. We're going to look at Dragontown and the Darkness Below by J.P. Covert, another Kickstarter happening right now. We're going to look at Wild Mage Press' Horizons Magazine that just got started up. A quick look at the Beetle and Grim Greyhawk map pack that is available. Is D&D 2024 Player's Handbook the fastest-selling D&D book of all time? Answer is yes, but we'll dive into that topic. In the lecture of You Don't Own Your Own Books, there's a couple of new interesting news bits about not necessarily owning your own books when you buy them at digital platforms. We're going to dig into that.
We're going to talk about the hidden 2024 D&D Players Handbook subclass rules for how to handle older subclasses than this book that I completely missed but are actually in the book. Today's big topic is going to be the current state of generative AI in role-playing games. And we're going to cover more questions from the September 2024 Patreon Q&A all today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show. I'm Mike Shea, your pal from Sly Flourish, here to talk about all things in tabletop role-playing games. This show is brought to you by the fine patrons of sly flourish. Patrons get access to all kinds of tools, tips, tricks, accessories, source books, adventures, and things to help them run their fantasy role-playing games.
They get access to the awesome lazy DM community over on discord, and they help me put on shows like this to the patrons of sly flourish. Thank you so much for your outstanding support. Our friends over at Kobold Press have just launched the new Labyrinth Kickstarter. Labyrinth is a new setting and adventure series available by Kobold Press set in the multiverse. So imagine a manual of the planes written by Kobold Press. There was a short guide that they had put out recently that I thought was actually really, really good. So I'm very excited to see it. And I'm eager for this one as well. Of course, immediately when I looked at it, I was like, oh my God, is this City of Arches and am I in trouble?
And the answer is no, actually, this works very well side by side with City of Arches because the City of Arches actually doesn't have an incredible array of all of the other worlds that are out there. It has definitely a worlds beyond the arches section that has a bunch of different worlds that you can connect to. It has a random world generator in there so you can make more, but it's more about the city. However, you could use a book like this to give you all kinds of worlds and all kinds of adventures in all these worlds that could connect right up against City of Arches. So it's very cool in that regard. There is a free preview PDF that you can get directly from DriveThruRPG. I, of course, like the single click, just get it immediately. Having it connected to DriveThruRPG is not so bad, though, because a lot of people have a DriveThru account and you can pick it up. And I went and downloaded it. And it is a big, meaty preview, 18-page preview that gives you an idea of the kind of stuff you're going to see.
Fantastic artwork, the entire table of contents of what the book is going to contain, the heroes, spells, all the different kinds of things. Look at that. That's a cool dwarf-looking dude. Look at this floating earth moat with a void dragon on the back. And it talks about the void, the factions that are going to be there. The artwork is really, really outstanding for this one. And one of the things about this Kickstarter, it is two separate books. So there is the Labyrinth book itself, which is a world book, and there's an entire book of adventures. So that's going to be cool. The other interesting thing is they have partnered with Beetle and Grimm. We're going to talk about another Beetle and Grimm pack later.
to build a whole thing with maps and map packs and accessories and other things. So a beetle and grim GM vault is one of the things you can get. So for 125 bucks, you can get the beetle and grim vault, which includes six battle maps, 10 GM maps, 15 in-world handouts, VTT tools, 30 encounter cards, all the kinds of stuff that you'd expect from a good beetle and grim set.
