Release AI as a D&D Prep Assistant - Not Replacement, But Creative Partner

The Weaver

Villager
Fellow DMs - curious about your thoughts on AI-assisted campaign prep.

I've released Dungeon Weaver lately and it may change the approach completely. Instead of replacing the creativity, it handles the grunt work so I can focus on what actually matters - player interactions, story beats, and those memorable moments we all live for.

The Reality:
  • Still need 100% human creativity for player dynamics
  • Still craft all the surprises and emotional beats
  • Still adapt everything to my table's unique style
  • AI just gives me the foundation faster than starting from scratch
What It Actually Does: Generates campaign frameworks, NPCs with backstories, balanced encounters, and even visual content. Then I customize everything to fit the world and players.

The Result: Prep time cut way down, but the human storytelling magic stays completely intact. The players may have no idea I'm using AI assistance - they just see richer worlds and more consistent content.

My Take: AI shouldn't replace DMs, but man, having a creative partner that handles the tedious stuff? Game changer.

Anyone else finding this balance between AI assistance and maintaining that human creative spark? What tools are working for you?
