ChatGPT has been a lifeline for me as a GM with little spare time to prep and far too grand ambitions for the scale and scope of (D&D) campaign I want to run. I'm curious how other GMs have found ChatGPT and similar AI tools useful or helpful in running their own games. I'll share my own workflow below as a comment, and I hope others find it useful. I'm especially interested in any ChatGPT prompts you have found worthwhile, and you can see some of my own prompts in the examples I'll share shortly.

I've used it to run a campaign in single player.

Using Janitor AI, I setup a multi-personality AI using its D&D and games training presets and then fed it the SRD for 3.5 as well as all the stuff I wrote for my campaign and was able to play a game as a player all by myself because the AI handled being a DM and 3 other players.

It worked out pretty good. It didn't always understand the rules which lead to arguments... Just like it would with real people! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

As a fellow GM juggling the chaos of life and the chaos of campaigns, I can totally relate! ChatGPT has been my go-to wingman, helping me flesh out NPCs, dream up plot twists, and even improvise on the fly when my players throw me a curveball. I am currently using chatgptdeutschkostenlos.de. It's like having a trusty co-GM who never needs sleep or snacks. Can't wait to swap stories and tips with other GMs in the community!

I often use GPT chat to refer to how to play games and it is very effective. It must be said that GPT chat is now trusted by many people. In addition to learning how to play, I also use it to create my own imagenes de buenas noches gratis website.

@buenasnocheshd must it be said? What does it mean to say that?

I don't use ChatGPT and don't plan to. For me, part of the fun of running games is being creative and doing the work of coming up with stuff myself. I don't have as much of an issue with ChatGPT as with machine generated images, so that's not why I avoid it. I just think the creative work is part of the experience, and us humans can also do that far better than a computer program. ChatGPT can't easily draw on campaign-specific themes and symbolism, can't foreshadow the greater mysteries going on. I mean, it likely can if specifically prompted to, but then you're still doing most of the work myself.

And if I want to randomly generate something... Well, we're all into TTRPG's; that's what dice are for. (Or tarot decks. I have too many of those. They're just so pretty and I keep hoarding them.)
