I have literally never thought about this before, but yeah... if you make Drizzt purple enough, Ryan Gosling would likely be near the top of my list. Chris Evans, Michael B Jordan. Tom Holland. You need someone with range for Drizzt, but you also need someone who can turn it on and off very...

Not just complexity but organization. Cortex is a very light and simple game, but it's murderous to learn without someone sitting down and just teaching you. AD&D and Palladium are very similar in complexity (and in general), but Palladium's a lot harder to learn because of its organizational...

Didn't come out as nice as I'd hoped.

@Morrus (sorry for doing it twice, won't do it a third) This... is how I use ChatGPT for my psychobilly D&D mashups. Okay. Ground rules. Let's poke around with converting sci-fi aliens to the Spelljammer setting, and moving back and forth between editions. Okay, so... I do this a lot and...

Holly Carp. There's some really good stuff in here... and then #6. Can't win them all. Nothing I wouldn't have come up with in the same amount of time. Not terrible, but this is kinda where I feel I get the most use out of ChatGPT, because it can just... keep... doing this, one query after...

There's some meat.

This... was a bust. It gave a very good answer for Carnage... and basically repeated the same answer for everyone else. Interestingly.... for everyone but the Hulk, Mayday's approach would be "strategic and methodical" and April's would be "direct and aggressive"-- but for the Hulk, it noted...

ChatGPT... does this, a lot, and I don't know how to make it stop. Going forward, I'm going to skip such sections... and inform you, gentle reader, when I have done so.

@Morrus From the originating thread: ChatGPT always finds my ideas "exciting" or something of the sort. I'm sure its programmed to say that for every project its users propose, but this feature genuinely does make me feel more excited about working with it. A+ I forgot to specify that...

For instance, I've set the following "custom instructions" for all of my interactions: Yes, this works for the purposes of fictional scenarios. I haven't tried pressing it for information that could be useful in real-life crime. I think the apologies are hard-coded. This stipulation doesn't...

The most useful phrase I've found for getting ChatGPT to do interesting things is "compare and contrast". "Compare and contrast", followed by "describe object A as an example of object B". I've tried and failed to get it to stop apologizing when my requests scrape up against its ethical...

It's very good at spurring more textured and nuanced ideas. Or for keeping my brain occupied enough that I don't chew my own fingers off.

Brainstorming, mainly. edit: to actually contribute to the conversation, i most recently used it to suggest relationship dynamics for various obscure Marvel characters. I use it to convert creatures/classes from one version of D&D to another. Have it write up dating site profiles or rap battles...

Spelljammer + Oriental Adventures (3.0 but not Rokugan) + (undefiled) Dark Sun. Not the post-apocalyptic environmentalist allegory, but reinforcing the elemental bent of OA magic and coloring the pursuit for Immortality along the lines of Dragon Kings. Super Mario Bros + Masters of the Universe...

If we assume that subraces in D&D are inevitable and indispensable, I 110% prefer for Githyanki and Githzerai to be subraces of a base Gith race. Among a handful of others that also center around their relationship to the Gith Civil War.

I have cried, as a whole-ass grown-ass man, over the narratives of more video games than TV/movies-- and I can tally either on the fingers of one hand. Terminator: Dark Fate is the second-best feature film in the franchise, and is the natural ending of the "trilogy" on every level. If it had...

Right now, unless you count it as part of my free "boring" spending, I'd spend it on repairing/replacing my (high end) office (gaming) computer. It's been down for weeks and... no work and no play makes me a human hand grenade. More than usual. Replace my laptop that broke at the same time. But...

Not the first time that the MCU has shared actors with licensed Marvel properties. Zeus/Papa Kravinoff isn't any weirder than Human Torch/Captain America or Cable/Thanos. Or any of the other weird casting coincidences across the franchise-- like the Hannibal Connection, or the Tolkien White...

Palladium Megaversal: 20th Century games for 21st Century fans! Hey, what's under this sticker?

Can we just table the argument over associated versus disassociated mechanics?
