Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bill Zebub" data-source="post: 9835625" data-attributes="member: 7031982">I just asked ChatGPT to GM me through a solo Shadowdark session.  It recommended I take a hireling, and after I made my character (a Cleric with 14 Wis) it created a hireling named Hobb with a consistent (but droll..) personality, adding his wry commentary to every scene.  We explored a barrow and fought a couple of skeletons, which were very nicely, colorfully narrated.  Then things got creepy and I felt the same kind of uncertainty that I experienced when I first started playing D&D and didn't have the monster manual memorized.  The session ended with a nice hook into another session and a good summary of where things stood.One quirk that made it almost Zork-like was that after each description instead of just "what do you do" it offered a list of options, but the last option was always open-ended (e.g., one time the last option was "Something colder, wiser, or more dangerous...").It was fun.  And it was based off a one-line prompt.</blockquote>
