    With the right prompt GPT4 can make a decent DM if you want to play a solo story of DnD. I tried this quite a while ago and it was pretty good, probably better now with the bigger context window.

    It can also be useful for suggesting recipes based on what you have on hand or what you feel like eating.

      I use it to help me DM. A lot of times I have a vague idea and it helps spit out specifics, I can take parts I like, and build the final idea off that. It is also okayish at making stat blocks for me on the fly when someone randomly decides they want to kill something I didn’t plan for (so like basically every session)

        It’s great at coming up with ideas for magic items, monsters, traps, plot hooks, etc.

        I ran a Christmas session last year, it was a dream session so I handed out tons of magic items cause they wouldn’t be keeping them. ChatGPT generated every single one, and I didn’t tweak anything at all. Which made for a few interesting items with redundant or contradictory stats, but that was explained by it being a dream.

        I have used it many times to give ideas for new items, new monsters, etc. Recently I was creating a blood-themed dungeon and asked for monster ideas and it gave me an Animated Bloodpuddle (reflavored Gelatinous Cube with extra abilities), and a Hemogoblin (ravenous blood thirsty goblins). There were others but those ones stuck out as cool and ended up being quite fun for the party.

      I think this would be a good one to make a GPT of, that way you wouldn’t have to keep prompting it and could refine it more easily as you go.

        Oh yeah that’s a good call. Could also give it the rulebook to look up via data retrieval although it generally seems to do a pretty good job without it.
