Cze Peku are great! The worst part of Patreon is Patreon having carefully crafted the single most frustrating UI for finding something specific from the people you subscribe to. CzePeku's website gets around Patreon entirely, letting you just search their site for a link to the map download page.

Identifying when to throw those last few hit points in the trash and call the fight a "win" for the adventurers is part of what separates a great GM from a good GM.

That's a good read. It's also exactly why I use AI guilt-free to illustrate my own works. It isn't "stealing a job from an artist" when I have a $0 budget to pay artists with in the first place. That "job" never existed, I was always going to have to illustrate myself. It's just that the tools allowing me to do that got a lot better, really quickly.
