Could you talk a little more about your D&D usage? This has turned into one of my primary use cases for ChatGPT, cooking up encounters or NPCs with a certain flavour if I don't have time to think something up myself. I've also been working on hooking up to the D&D Beyond API so you can get everything into homebrew monsters and encounters.


I noticed the prompt makes a big difference in the experience you get. I have a simple game prompt.

The first prompt I tested out I got from this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Cq-LuJnaRg

It was ok and produces shallow adventures.

The second one I tried was from this site; https://www.rpgprompts.com/post/dungeons-dragons-chatgpt-pro...

a bit better and is easier to modify but still shallow.

The best one I have tried so far is this one from reddit; https://old.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/zoiqro/most_improv...

It is a super long prompt and I had to edit it a lot, and manually extract the data from some of the links but it has been the best experience by far. I even became "friends" with an NPC who accompanied me on a quest and it was a lot of fun and I was fully engaged.

The model of choice matters but even llama 1B and 2B can handle some stories.


May want to check out the Wayfarer models on: https://huggingface.co/LatitudeGames

afaik they are more for roleplaying a D&D style adventure than planning it, but I've heard good things.
