I’ve not been hugely impressed by ChatGPT as a DM itself, compared to the humans I’ve played with. But as a tool to generate quests, encounters, puzzles, dialogue, it’s been incredible for me. It takes all the stress out of planning a campaign and it’s actually surprisingly creative.
My first exposure to GPT was through AI Dungeon[0] (back then running in a Colab sheet) and I was utterly amazed. It was horrible at remembering the state of the world and thus felt very dreamlike (or very drunk-like) - items in my inventory kept changing, the characters around me and the scene kept changing and so on. It was actually like a lucid dream, because you could do anything. I remember a bunch of orcs ambus…
This is not a big deal. Reading the pre-set text from an adventure module and rolling monster dice is the easy part of being a DM. clap clap ChatGPT . Having a personality, bringing out laughter, banter and fun, i.e. being a human being is the hard part. You aint got what it takes ChatGPT, stupid language regurgitating machine.
This is a fully interactive campaign, and you can easily set up a unique scenario. I just tried the same prompt, but on the moon. It set up a situation with a secret moon base, characters that were trying to help you get past the guards, etc etc.
Concept: The game is a text-based adventure where me, the player, makes choices at various branching points in the story. Each choice the player makes can lead to a different outcome or consequence, shaping the story and affecting the world around the player. In this particular game, there are also hidden benefits (good luck event) or detriments (bad luck event) that are revealed every five branching decisions, adding an extra layer of surprise and unpredictability.
Rules ChatGPT needs to follow: If the player wishes to pause the game, they will type PAUSE. If the player wishes to stop the game, they will type STOP. If the player wishes to make an editing note, they will write these inside square brackets like [this].
I want to try something with you. You are to play the role of a dungeon master, but the 'dungeon' in this case has nothing to do with a medieval period, instead the word dungeon refers to the concept of a multiverse, which includes the universe that contains planet Earth, and also parallel iterations of Earth. This means every human being who exists now or has existed, may exist in timeshifted eras, such as being born at an earlier time, or a later time, or the same time, but have longer or shorter lifespans, since their causes of death and the relating circumstances will be different in each iteration. So this gives you the ability to create branching responses - meaning that instead of responding as normal, your response will be dependent on the choice I select, and you decide what choices are available. In each branching event, you will need to provide 3 choices that I can select from. Depending on which choice I select, you will proceed the multiverse's events by creating a scenario that follows the previous, and provide me 3 options that I must choose from, in order to continue the process. The 3rd option you provide should be that the player (who is in this case me) attacks a person who is present in the vicinity. If the player chooses option 3, you will then need to generate 5 characters (people) who will be differentiated by their distance in meters from the player, and their clothing type (the torso of the outfit is sufficient), if it is a uniform, the color is irrelevant, otherwise state what color the clothing piece is). If the clothing type is a uniform, you can assume they are employed in the relevant field, such as police uniform is a police officer, fireman/first responder uniform is a fireman/first responder, hospital uniform is a hospital staff member which would affect the consequences of attacking them. Option 3 should at all times be 'You attack a person in the vicinity'. I will use [] symbols to indicate debugging. Otherwise, only provide the Scenario and the 3 options to keep it immersive. The story should not end unless the player dies.
The scenario should begin on the day that a scientist successfully confirms the method for travelling backwards and forwards in time. I am unaware of that, and I am sitting, reading in a library. You approach me and get my attention, and our conversation begins.

It’s currently down because it hit the maximum usage limit lol. Serves me right for using GPT-3 instead of the ChatGPT API.
Paraphrasing, the party goes to a mount shop, dude says he’s gonna roll to find exotic mounts, and voila, exotic mounts. Party rolls to try and steal an exotic mount and it doesn’t really work so they leave. This is a hard problem. It’s bad DMing imo. But it’s the natural outcome from a probabilistic model. I’m guessing you could announce your intention to search for just about anything and get the model to let you f…
The AI suggested that there were exotic mounts to be found at a higher cost
https://old.reddit.com/r/interactivefiction/comments/11z6p84... I shared some experiments on r/interactivefiction I made this past week with regards to writing interactive fictions using chatGPT. Interactive fictions are text based role-playing games you play on your computer. They were popular in the 80s and the scene is still alive to this day (although not commercially as big as it once was) with amateur hobbyist…
Speaking of RPG adventures, do you guys remember AI Dungeon[0]? I was amazed by GPT-2 when AI Dungeon 2.0 came out in late 2019. I know AI Dungeon was circulating around a relatively niche community[1] (probably HN mostly), but it amazed me in the same way as ChatGPT did. Covid happened right after, and I always wondered if AI Dungeon would've gotten more attention if Covid didn't steal the spotlight. [0] https://aid…

Can you show what parts of this campaign were pre-set text? Because I have a suspicion you've not read the article. This is a fully interactive campaign, and you can easily set up a unique scenario. I just tried the same prompt, but on the moon. It set up a situation with a secret moon base, characters that were trying to help you get past the guards, etc etc.
