OKay, so first I am not computer expert. Infact my knowledge of computer is as follows: "Ohh magic box make pretty video game" "Oh, pretty video game fun" and "'ugh have to find way to file taxes for free" and "Come talk about D&D on magic box"
maybe a slight bit of use of email and 'not' office suits. oh, and of course 'adult entertainment for free'
My understanding of AI is "Skynet bad Data good, please make Data not Skynet" and "Bad skynet, don't mess with the space time continuum to fix a war you lost" and "Furby cute but scary, please don't turn into skynet"
However I do game with computer bros that work in digital thingies. They are super excited for this chat GPT thing, and have started useing it to make D&D things. They asked me to play around with it, and laughed when I started by saying hello and introducing myself, but when skynet comes online I want to have always been polit to AI.
so the experment I wanted to run was to ask it if it knew what D&D was, then see from there if I could get it to map out a campaign for me. My test was to see how many promts I would need to duplicate hours of my own work on a campagin.
I picked a campaign that was player live so there was little maybe no chatter about it on the web to steal. I have been told that this isn't a real AI, not that I would dislike a real AI I love DATA, that it predicts the most common words in order and puts them together. NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE TO ME! So if I used one that we ran on roll20 or discord it might have somehow stolen that and just reported what we already did.
Part of me wanted to do an old like 3e idea but I decided to keep it mostly modern.
So the TEST:
I took an idea I ran back in 20017-2018 and with 3-5 prompts pretty much got it to outline 80% of my campaign and most of the difference were improvements. I went about an hour in and 16ish prompts and was floored, like it read my mind.
in fact I copy/pasted the end result in to our discord and everyone assumed they were my original notes for a 'control' sample'
Pomts that I didn't count was me saying hi, asking how it's day was and telling it I like D&D and if it Knew the 5e rules. Gand total I would say that was less then 5 minutes anyway.
here are my prompts:
1)Do you understand the style of rule and how the bloodwar works in D&D
2)If I wanted to run an evil or evil and neutral campaign where the players took on the role of fighting for hell in the blood war could you create a good set of plot hooks?
3)do you know about how orcus became tenebrous and back again?
3.5)can you take your plot hooks and rework them to include Orcus as tenebrous being a connecting theme
4)your third plot idea intrigues me, can you help me flesh it out with who the cult is and what the ritual is like?
5)can you help me with making stats for 5e D&D for 2 diffrent stat blocks for cult members and a warlock like NPC stat block for the leader both around CR7
now I kept going but that already made what was a pretty bare bones version of the game I ran years ago, IT even became scarier when I asked to flesh things out... up to this point though it was less then half an hour total
I could stop there but I wanted to see if I could get it to come up with one of my twists.
6) can you create a custom artifact that is a lesser rod of orcus that has some kind of shadow theme
7) what basic monsters from the monster manual can I use to round out encounters?
8) could you modify the kobold and hobgoblin stats to have more demonic tenebrous connection's for me?v
now this was only another minute or two and it came up with a BETTER lesser artifact then I did and almost exactly how I modified my goblins and kobolds.... and it had suggested them but like 4 other things too... so I kept going
9)thats great can you take those stats and the cultist you created erlier and come up with an abyssal dungeon with them as the encounters?
this went off... nothing in the dungeon was at all like what I had even useing VERY similar building blocks.
10)Can you create a unique devil to give this quest to the PCs?
now in my notes this was "bob the demon" and I came up Beelzabob on the fly to NOT call him that at the table... the system did not call him that it named him Malthorius, The Tempter, but pretty much everything else was close or a dead match for bob.
11) who would be a good foil for Malthorius, the tempter, maybe another fiend NPC you can create that plots against them
in my notes this was Sally the Succubus, and I got:
One possible foil for Malthorius, the tempter, could be a powerful and cunning succubus named Lirien.
Lirien is a seductive and manipulative devil who seeks to gain power and influence over mortals and demons alike.
like damn other then better names you are batting like 8 out of 10 here.
BUT heree came my twist in orginal notes: I had Bob and Sally used to be married... so I had the players find old love letters when they snooped.
12) what dark secret could connect Malthorius and Lirien that could be found by the players and how?
it's answer floored me so I am putting it right in here copy/paste:
One possible dark secret that could connect Malthorius and Lirien is that they were once lovers, but their relationship ended in betrayal and tragedy.
The players could uncover this secret by finding a hidden chamber within Malthorius's lair that contains clues to their past. Perhaps there are old love letters or trinkets hidden away, or paintings or sculptures depicting the two of them together. Alternatively, the players could overhear a conversation between Malthorius and Lirien in which they allude to their shared history.
13)can you create an NPC hero that could be an antagonist to both Malthorius and Lirien and as such the players, but could also end up being how the players reunite the two former lovers
I had orginally created a paliden of love based off a character from the dresden files so he could be both antagansit and helpful... and I swear it recreated him with a new name.
14)can you also come up with a Hag that will serve as a merchant of souls and lesser items I can use for the campaign with her own back story and plot hooks
and swing and a miss... this one was nothing like what I had come up with.
15)can you take the story of tenebrous and connect Malthorius and Lirien to make a background tieing all of this together for a campaign idea set in hell during the blood war?
and it did pretty close but needed another promt or two... but at this point it was pretty much reading my mind.
Sure, here's a possible background tying together the elements of Hellgate Keep, Tenebrous, Malthorius, and Lirien:
In the midst of the Blood War, Asmodius, the ruler of the Nine Hells, has mysteriously disappeared. The Archdevils who are vying for his throne have their own plans, and chaos reigns in the Hells. Meanwhile, the Raven Queen has tasked a group of adventurers with hunting down undead creatures that are being used by both sides of the war.
As the adventurers delve deeper into the Hells, they discover that a powerful cult is at work, seeking to uncover ancient artifacts and use them to summon Tenebrous, the demon prince who once threatened to destroy the Hells. The cult believes that with Tenebrous on their side, they can tip the scales of the Blood War in favor of their faction.
But there is more to the story. The adventurers learn that Malthorius and Lirien, two powerful fiends who were once lovers, had a hand in the disappearance of Asmodius. Malthorius, the Tempter, had convinced Lirien, a half-dragon priestess, to betray Asmodius and join forces with him to further his own power.
The adventurers must navigate the complex politics of the Hells to uncover the truth and stop the cult from summoning Tenebrous. Along the way, they may encounter powerful fiends who seek to use them for their own purposes, including the mysterious devil who tasked them with their quest.
If the adventurers can reunite Malthorius and Lirien, they may be able to stop the cult and prevent the summoning of Tenebrous. But the Raven Queen may not be satisfied with simply eradicating the undead in the Hells, and her goals may conflict with those of the adventurers. And even if they succeed in their quest, the disappearance of Asmodius may have far-reaching consequences for the balance of power in the Hells.
As for the artifacts, the adventurers may encounter the Hellgate Keep, and powerful relics that can change the course of the Blood War. But they must be careful, as these artifacts are highly sought after by both sides of the conflict, and possessing them may draw the attention of powerful fiends who would stop at nothing to obtain them.
