The start was promising. Than the dungeons were just a bunch of cliches. Everyone can come up with better ideas with a bunch of random tables. The only upside is the time took to generate all of this. Great experiment.
for sure! if you ask the right questions, it can really go into more and better depths of dungeon design, but the quick questions give pretty decent results!
I used AI too,but for a different purpose. I used the AI to make HIM the bbeg on a campaign by making him a paranoid lich that overthinkings everything.
I wrote roleplaying scripts for a tabletop rpg that i created. The adventures are awesome! Hell, i even played as conan the barbarian while fighting the dreaming god, dagoth.
Hey man, been watching all of your COS stuff and have stuck around for new content as well. Thanks to your videos, I've had a much easier time running my first campaign. Just wanted to say thanks for doing what you do.
I created a chatGPT prompt to fit my style of preping for an adventure. I prefer to define locations, NPCs and rumors my players can run into, kind of sandboxy. To make it more flexible, there are the all-caps variables, you can use to better fit the adventure your world/needs. Also creates a midjourney prompt for some cover art. In a prior version I had midjourney prompts created for all NPCs, but that's optional. [Format your response using markdown. Use headings, subheadings, bullet points, and bold to organize the information.] GENRE: eg fantasy, sci-fi, post apocalyptic, ... LOCATION: eg Mansion Albright, domicile to the local noble, ruling the surrounding rural area INCLUDE: eg a band of migrating goblins taking refuge in the forest EXCLUDE: eg demons, devils, portals STYLE: eg social, non-violent, dark fantasy, horror, high-fantasy Create the LOCATION above for a GENRE TTRPG adventure including the INCLUDE, while excluding the EXCLUDE above. Give it a title. Use the STYLE above for the adventure. Use the following structure to describe the location: 0. Summary of the adventure 1. Description 2. History 3. Create some flavorful phrases to desribe the mood of the location 4. 6 rumors adding flavor 5. Story hooks to draw the players into a adventure in the location 6. 2 Secrets of the location 7. a twist 8. 4 NPCs and 1 antagonistic NPC to be encountered. For each of them a name, short description, including their goals, motivations, flaws, fears, secrets and looks. 9. 4 encounters and 2 places within the location with a short description, an NPC and a secret. 10. a D6 random encounter list for the location with 5 normal and 1 dangerous enemy/enemies 11. what major or minor components create time pressure in the location? 12. put it into a 3 act structure, with act 1 (setup, inciting incident) act 2 (rising action, plot twist) and act 3 (climax, resolution). 13. the final confrontation 14. the aftermath 15. the conlusion 16. The consequences 17. possible following adventures arising from this one 18. a prompt for the midjourney bot to create a picture of the location
Does it stifle creativity? No. Yes. Ex: my current creation is 100% LOTR: evil artifact, BBEG, recurring characters, created party, volcano... the whole thing. I can take the story and go word for word, or I can use it as an influence. I changed how the party gets together, the artifact and its powers, how the artifact enters the story, the BBEG, the recurring characters, the names, and tossed in a false ending. If anyone from James's (Tolkein) estate were to see this, squint their eyes and tilt their head, I would be forbidden to ever write anythung again... The creativity comes from taking the skeleton of the story and changing it to what the original wasn't. Or, you can be happy letting someone else do your work for you.
This was a neat experiment. Came for Curse of Strahd, stayed for the other content.
thank you thank you!
The command “write me a dnd 5e campaign ~location~ worked very well for me, giving me step by step sections of the story
Haha awesome!

I used it once just to try it out
It actually did a good job for a session of D&D.
I didn’t use it but it was interesting

This video is going to go viral!
Let's hope so!
Haha one can dream!
Definitely an efficient tool and worth learning how to use
Absolutely!

for sure! theres some nuance to this whole thing.
Hope for a AI dm one day. Maybe I’d finally get to play for a change. Lol
Haha I'm sure you could do some solo play with chatgpt
Great stuff! but all i seem to find others than the one you showed-lol
Ai is the future for dungeon masters in dungeons and dragons. Best idea ever! 🔥🤘🔥
I MISS YOU MAKING CONTENT. ESP DM GUIDES!
miss ya man
Funny idea
It's so sad to know this will be his last video. He sadly passed away in a car crash about a year ago 😢
What!?
@@Brightp546 nah, he just has a new job that he focuses on instead of this channel.
360p 💀
Not shockingly, all it can do is steal and recombine human ideas.
