I had this idea to make a chatGPT assistant Game Master, I would feed it all the information about my homebrew campaign world and then discuss ideas about my campaign with it. At first it was pretty cool as I fed it information it wou throw back suggestions. Then after a few days I came back and started asking it questions and it poo poo the bed, giving me contradictory and generic answers. So I started interrogating it about why. It explained that it had a limited amount of conversation memory but that it could not articulate how much that memory was, or how far back it went. Although it was able to tell me the last thing we had discussed that it still had in it's memory it could not tell me when that occurred. It also explained to me that it could not provide time stamps on responses because it was not aware of anything after 2021, but it did it anyway inconsistently and in varying formats. It was frustrating but also kinda cool interrogating an AI on it's capabilities, it felt like the scene from 2010 when the dr asks HAL why he malfunctioned.

Ruffian Price posted:the web interface keeps your past convos and you can edit them at any point in time, it'll keep track of the permutations and branches too. you can also paste the conversation into a new prompt and add to it Yeah but despite the text being kept and visible in a given conversation, the AI does not continue to reference it past a certain point. If I understand the capabilities of GPT4, you could potentially have a campaign document that you linked to the AI with each prompt that would help mitigate this limitation. What I found really fascinating was that the AI itself could not explain to me the limitations of it's memory only that it had limitations.

Y'all are using AI wrong if you're not asking it to explain everything to you in the voice of Stone Cold Steve Austinquote:Can you explain opportunity attacks in Dungeons and Dragons in the style of Stone Cold Steve Austin?

The first time I asked it to re-write something (my annual review) in the style of Stone Cold it typed in all caps, not sure why it's doing proper capitalization now.

Wangsucker 69 posted:ChatGPT has definitely enhanced my homebrew DnD stuff, I’ll have a window open when I’m writing and man has it helped me flesh stuff out as a novice DM. This for sure. I even use it on the fly during games. My players encountered a mercenary and I wanted him to have a unique magic shield so I asked ChatGPT to generate one, it gave me a cool idea for a shield that could reflect spells. So I used it, the merc even triggered the ability during the combat and surprised the gently caress outta the warlock. Then afterwards when the players went to identify it I asked ChatGPT to give me a cool name for it and it suggested "Shield of the Twilight Guardian". It also understands stuff like 5 Room Dungeons formats, and Sly Flourishes' Lazy DM "Secrets", so you can tell it. "Give me a dungeon in the format of a Five Room Dungeon that takes place in ..." or "Generate 10 Lazy Dungeon Master Secrets for my next adventure that takes place in ...."

Yeah I pretty much gave up on this thread already because everytime it got going people came in and poo poo all over it about ethics of AI. Like I just want cool pics of the Otter-people in my homebrew setting, I don't need to hear your scaremongering about killing artists.

Good Artists copy, Great Artists Steal, Everything is a Remix. All art is built on top of what came before it, generative art is just letting us do it a lot faster. There's this weird phenomenon of gatekeeping that's pretty much exclusive to illustrative art (2d drawing, painting etc), I think it's because the vast majority of people believe that illustration is some sort of magical ability people are born with as opposed to a skill that is developed with tons of practice like anything else. Everytime there's been an advance that makes it easier for artists to create art, there have been well meaning but ignorant people wringing their hands about how this is"the death of art! Nobody will employ artists because they can just use this new new technology to crap out soulless garbage!" It happend with digital painting, it happened with 3d sculpting and 3d animation, it happened with photography, it happened with manufactured pre-mixed paints, I'm sure there was some caveman who complained that brushes were going to put cave painter who used their hands out of business. Every single time those people have been hilariously wrong, not only did it not kill art or artists it allowed artists to expand their horizons and work on actual creative work it created a world filled with more art and more artists not less.

The players in my DnD game get weirdly fixated on random mundane stuff, and tend to gloss over actual important plot and worldbuilding things. A location in the dungeon they're exploring right now is a wizards laboratory and I know they'll get obsessed with reading every book. So I used ChatGPT to generate books for me, and I told it specific world items and dungeon hints to include in some of them. I'm really happy with the results. Cosmic Constellations By Rowan Silvermoon Cosmic Constellations: Unlocking the Secrets of Astrology" takes readers on an illuminating journey into the depths of astrology, revealing the hidden wisdom and cosmic connections that shape our lives. This comprehensive guide explores various aspects of astrology, providing a rich blend of theoretical knowledge, practical techniques, and profound insights. The book begins by introducing the foundations of astrology, including the history and development of this ancient practice. It explains the significance of celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, planets, and constellations, and how they influence our personalities, relationships, and life events. Readers will delve into the intricacies of the zodiac, exploring the thirty two astrological signs and their unique characteristics. Each sign is carefully examined, highlighting the key traits, strengths, challenges, and compatibility factors associated with them. I'm hoping they'll make the connection that the magical doo-dad they found in another room has 32 symbols on it and realize that they're related to the zodiac. Althouth the way they operate I wouldn't be surprised if they spent all their time trying to figure out what the bookbinding was made of.

feverish and oversexed posted:It definitely is good for inspiration in this sense, especially with a little guided context. I occasionally use it actively when DMing, like if the players do something completely unexpected and I need to come up with a character name or items name on the fly (I'm terrible at naming stuff). I once used it to generate a unique magic item that I forgot to create before the game and it turned out pretty cool. What I mostly use it for is list making, like if I need a list of something specific "What do you find in this drawer" stuff. It's really good at giving me a couple dozen interesting but mundane items, like "three random chess pieces", "A handful of foreign copper coins" or "A river rock with a bloody fingerprint on it". That last one really threw my group for a loop, they spent 15 minutes trying to figure out it's significance, and now im weaving it into the campaign. I compile the items ChatGPT gives me into a traditional random table generator and roll on it during game. It's pretty good at making NPCs, but they tend to be a bit samey, which sometimes is all you need. When you just need a name and a bit of dialog for Villager #3 its cool, but I wouldn't use it for major NPCs or Villians without doing a lot of curating. None of this is stuff you need ChataGPT for, it could be done with many random generators available, but what I like is that it's really fast, I just tell it what I want, I don't have to go looking for a specific chart or table or anything and it spits out good enough content for my purposes.

Doctor Zero posted:Not arguing against, but you reminded me that some of our best NPC names came from creative brain lock. Fortunately ChatGPT produces some goofyness like this on it's own sometimes. Most the names are fairly cliche but every once in a while it spits out a winner.

My favorite thing to do with ChatGPT is to give it some rough text I wrote and then have it re-write it in the voice of a specific writer or character. In my current campaign my players are exploring a wizards lair and there are multiple libraries, so I used this trick to make up a bunch of books, some are nonsense just to be flavorful but some have important hints for the dungeon and some have worldbuilding information. The most recent one I did was about geomancy and after writing a rough bit about it including the things I wanted to convey to the players I fed it into ChatGPT and told it to re-write it in the style of Gary Gygax. quote:Geomancy, verily, is the esoteric art of wielding and optimizing the boundless energies that flow through the mystical Ley Lines. Its purpose lies in the creation of structures and artifacts, cleverly designed to tap into the vast reservoirs of raw power that permeate the very fabric of our world. A bit flowery even for Gygax, but perfect for my needs.

There's a reason books of tables to generate random backstories exist. Not everyone is a creative storyteller on their own.
