No Generative AI

This work was made by humans. No AI or Machine Generated works are included in this project. Supporting this project means you are supporting real human beings who have dreams, passions, & bills. Thank You.

Please do not use Geneartive AI or LLMs in the creation of derivative works based on Rulers or the Rulers system.

Notion AI has been disabled on this Notion page at our request to customer support, and our internal settings confirm this: “Notion AI has been disabled for this workspace.”

Please do not feed any part of Rulers - Basic Rules, into a machine learning intelligence or LLM of any kind. Do not ask any AI Chatbot for a rules clarification, that’s just so dumb, why would it know that.

If you want to use generative AI tools for yourself while you play Rulers, ask me instead! I will happily share with you my favorite non-AI tools for worldbuilding and may even help you make what you need myself.
