Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bent Goblin" data-source="post: 8933726" data-attributes="member: 7040415">A few weeks ago, I experimented with asking ChatGPT to be my dungeon master. I asked it:I was excited to see that ChatGPT threw in a mysterious symbol that was in the cell, but interactions with the symbol went nowhere. So after we were finished with the small adventure, I asked ChatGPT for the backstory. The response wasIn my next attempt, I first prompted ChatGPT to come up with some elements of a backstory and then chose some of them randomly for an adventure. I asked for<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">seven villains with a secret agenda that are respected members of society</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">a reason, why each of the villains might give a dinner party</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">possible evidence for each villain's nefarious activities</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">ten possible guests at such a dinner party</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">seven henchmen, which might be working for any of the villains</li> </ul>Then I told ChatGPT the following:The adventure that ensued was a bit better than the first one. Obviously still a long, long  cry from having an human as dungeon master, but it shows how prompts result in better output by ChatGPT also for using it as a DMs tool (or as DM itself, in this case).  If you are interested, you can read the transcripts of <a href="https://www.bentgoblinpress.com/i-asked-chatgpt-to-be-my-dm-first-attempt/" target="_blank">my first try</a> and <a href="https://www.bentgoblinpress.com/i-asked-chatgpt-to-be-my-dungeon-master-second-attempt/" target="_blank">my second try</a> in full, but to be honest, I concur with what [USER=7028554]@Grendel_Khan[/USER] just said about wishing one could get back the time spent with reading longish ChatGPT output. So you might want to skip reading the transcripts and better try out ChatGPT as dungeon master yourself if you are interested into how that goes.</blockquote>
