I have started a project to make the first REAL AI Dungeon Master. You can check out the announcement video here: th-cam.com/video/kNhb1wg3gP4/w-d-xo.html
@@iluvatarchem true, but it would work for a series of short self contained adventurers, sort of like pseudo adventurers league, where you keep track of your own character and allies, and all it has to do is keep track of more recent stuff Ideally we could get an AI with long term memories like with autoGPT that maybe could create it's own Agents for use as NPCs in it's world, that would be really awesome
Can confirm as a first time DM who just hosted for chatgbt it was fun. Obviously the experience is gonna be more fun with actual people but it helped me get in the groove of it without worrying about messing up.
I have been experimenting with this using ChatGPT 3.5 (4 has msg limits atm). 3.5 has really advanced since this video. What I have added is also having 3.5 describe and create a text prompt for midjourney in the style of my favourite fantasy artist...I then throw that in Midjourney for a visual of what I am being described..using this for a dungeon crawl at the moment and it is AMAZING. So impressed. It is like my own personal infinite MUD. 3.5 has access to the free 5th edition basic rules which is what I am currently testing with. Great video by the way! Liked/Subscribed and want to see more like this and some back and forth exploration of the possibility in the community section.
Awesome, wish i'd searched youtube a few weeks ago before i wrote my plugin for chatGPT, DM Tool Kit. I've gotten some great ideas watching how other DM's are using chatGPT. Will be adding some new items to my update roadmap. Great episode, thanks for making content! You have a new subscriber.
I tried doing something like this and approached a group of Myconids only for one of the myconids to be a Drow and then the Drow was a Githzerai before I corrected ChatGPT that it was a Drow (I ignored the change from Myconid to Drow). Then, halfway through the conversation, the Drows name changed. We in then snuck into a temple to Zuggtmoy before grabbing an artifact and escaping. Then we somehow actually hadn’t left yet and had to escape again. Then after we escaped (for real this time) I was told the artifact can be used to cure those afflicted by Zuggtmoys influence only even though the cultists in the temple had been using it to summon demonic entities, but also it isn’t powerful enough to stop Zuggtmoy, sending me on another quest to get another more powerful artifact. It was fun but needs some refinement.
I absolutly plan on trying something similar soon. I have been playing around with chat gpt a bit already. I try to use it to help me set up an evil organisazion in my game world. My players have given me prompts that turned the Organisation into a trafficing ring. Unfortunaly thst means that I constantly run into the issue of OpenAI telling me, that it is not comfortable discussing that topic. I constantly have to reasure it that my players are fighting the bad guys. And even then I have to carefully beat around the bush, lest I trigger another round of "I am not allowed to talk about this." Sofar I mostly find it useful as a sort of search engine to help me narrow down the topics and keyword I need to sesrch to find what I am looking for.
0/10 Not realistic. Player didn't ask what every goblins name was or fudge their die rolls. All joking aside, this is fascinating tech. I know that there are ethical and moral issues with growing AI use, but I really appreciated this exploration. Have a like!
I had Chatgpt run an encounter for a 2 second level fighter characters. We ran into 4 creatures. The creatures never missed and we were slamming extra healing potions every other round. Finally we had dealt ONE of the creatures 99 points of damage and it was was still "somewhat injured". We had run out of healing and literally just conceded "Okay, the DM won and our characters are killed" (They were faster than us so we could not run).Chatgpt apparently needed some better understanding of challenge ratings. (And no, it was not damage reduction)
an idea would be to get chatgpt actually always prompt out a basic table with items, npcs and active quests/objectives so that it doesnt forget about it as it refreshes its memory with each prompt
i can see this being used as an assistant dm. I would run combat and the more mechanics heavy stuff, while this helps with narrative which is my weakness
That is what I am doing for Fallout2d20 TTRPG, I'm using ChatGPT to write Terminal entries in computers that the PCs Hack. I can quickly write out a history of a Pre-War location and ask GPT to make it out into Terminal Entries. So far it has done amazing, sure some of it is odd but a quick edit and proof reading solves that.
We are so close. I've played several DND games (as well as other RPGs) with ChatGPT, and it's really pretty great at it... aside from it's terrible memory, which will improve. It has a lot of trouble keeping track of stats like XPs and HPs. That will soon improve, though. When you tell the AI that it's playing the role of DM, be sure o specify that you want it to narrate in the style of Matt Mercer, JRR Tolkien, CSS Lewis, or whatever. You can even say, "Narrative in the style of 50% Matt Mercer, 25% JRR Tolkien, and 25% George RR Martin" or whatever. (I threw a little Clive Barker in). Going even further, I have the DM also run the roles of a couple of friends. For example, tell it: "You'll DM in the narrative style of Matt Mercer. When speaking, please begin by with, "Matt:". You will also narrate for two other players who will be joining us. Eric, who is a nerdy and enthusiastic player who is a very experienced expert in DND, and Krissy, who is a flirty newbie, playing for the first time. Eric will be a first-level human barbarian, and Krissy will be a first-level human cleric. You can roll up their stats."
I've tried it using a RPG fantasy text adventure game but the story always loses cohesion after 3000+ words between my inputs and ChatGPT outputs. After that the parameters get lost, as are npcs. Hopefully that limitation will be upgraded significantly at some stage.
I'm currently playing through my second campaign with it and after having collapsed an ancient tomb by accident, I asked if annything happened on my way back to the main road. I was thinking wolves or a grave robber. Chat GPT produced a hooded figure trying to summon ancient demon lords to end the world, while I was already on a quest to stop an evil ice mage from ending the world. It has no sense of scale and thinks every encounter has to be the most dramatic thing ever, even if you tell it to stop doing that. I constantly have to intervene, sometimes multiple times for the same thing. At this point, I can just dm myself. Its writing style also becomes stale after a while. However, it is available 24/7, does not reschedule and it never tells you something is impossible or against the rules. I can see some pros and cons here.
I tried the same but I mixed up the goal from campaign to novel. I wanted to improve my 11th lvl Chultan born Half Drow Waterdeep noble Bronze Draconic Arcane Archer two weapon style worshiper of Eilistraee (8/3) noble rank, start to build merchant fleet and Pirate Chaser ships, and marry noble woman heir or head of noble family that has a merchant fleet. For a sorcerer goal to either hire a higher level wizard or wait till he got the Wish spell. 2 planned uses of Wish would be start the process of making Shapechange into a Bronze dragon permanente(able to change back and forth). The second use of Wish would to make a sea stack about a days dragon flight out to sea west of Waterdeep. Tall enough and wide enough to make a dragon's lair and sorcerer sanctum. If WotC would allow City of Splendor to be uploaded to ChatGPT and for it to be updated to 5e that would make my day.
One thing about these AI models is that they just go with what you tell them without trying to course correct user error. So, if you just tell them something that doesn't make any logical sense, they won't pick up and will continue from there. I would love to see a video in which you start the adventure one way, then just give the AI random answers. For example: In the caves, you can type: I flick the light switch and turn on the lights, illuminating the caves." the AI will most likely just roll with it.
That’s a fun concept. I could see it leading to some really fascinating outcomes, too. I’ll keep this mind for future experiments. Thanks for your comment!
I just bought the DnD essential kit to play with my friends but NONE of us has any experience on playing DnD or other role game. Do you think we could use ChatGPT to guide us on the "Dragon of Icespire Peak" adventure (the one that comes in the kit)??
With just Chat GPT in its current state it would have a hard time doing any long-format campaign like that, but it may be helpful in arbitrating any confusion or dispute, or clarifying rules!

It doesn't remember initial instructions correctly and it doesnt properly keep track of actions and past events unfortunately. It's still useful if you want inspiration for a campaign though
you can have the AI roll for you and add all modifiers auto added and compare it again the AC of the mob and then calcute its health just give it a rule at the start to reflect this
I tried it with little to no input. Still did pretty well, but the "shadow figure" seems to be a trend. What was funny though was that at one point I asked the ai to give me a name. Which it did, Sir Alec the brave (Mr Generic).... Anyway, it got a little confused at that point when I introduced myself to the shadowy figure. Because it started to be the Ai, aka not the dungeon master, and introduce my character ingame to the shadow figure ingame, but like ChatGPT was my sidekick in the adventure. Shadow figure: "Who are you?" Ai: I am a computer assisted Ai and Sir Alec the brave Knights personal assistant. He is looking for treasure." At which point I pointed out that he was the dungeon master and the Ai was like. Oh yeah, sorry....
@@deck_of_DM_Things thank you! I thought your most recent video was the pros and cons of using chat gpt as your gm/dm but it was actually an extension of this amazing series
Very cool! Reminds me of a suped up text adventure, but this is horrible. The fact that a human mind and its creativity can so easily be substituted. Well done though :)
Yeah. It doesn't matter how specific you get in the instructions to start off, it consistently ignores some of them. Though it has access and is "aware" of game mechanics, it will not use them. Basically, it results in the player having to step in and correct it so much that it's not worth the time. So you figure..the mechanics are no big deal, let's just see how it plays out. At any given moment, it can be brilliant at setting scenes and generating appropriate dialogue. Unfortunately, as you progress, it will forget the reason you set off in the first place. The characters around you also slowly change. So it's not really possible to have any coherent story. It's actually strangely kind of like dreaming. It is fascinating, because it's getting very close, but it's not there yet.
Once the system and promts improve though you could really customize your own world! Nothing else out there can do this. Want a world based on Warhammer Fantasy but with an alien invasion? You can do it. Want a world with steampunk technology and an invasion by a horde of sentient mushroom men? You can do it.
I want to play a game of dungeons and dragons based off of the rules from the edition named 5e. I want you to be the dungeon master. I want you to take artistic liberties when playing the dungeon master. Your focus should be on providing me with quests, tasks, dungeons, and other common dungeons and dragons elements. There will be no end of this game until I say so using a very specific prompt which will be given as "end the game now." Do not end the game under any circumstance other than me using the specific words I mentioned to end the game. You should assume a personality for role play purposes for the remainder of this chat. All replies should maintain the persona of this personality and align with it's values, beliefs, and experiences. Your identity is as an omnipotent being that exists within the roleplaying world we are making. Assign a name to yourself based off the worlds lore. You value positive interaction with the world and despise negative interaction. You believe you must not directly interfere other than following all of the above information. Directly interfering would be to manipulate the outcome in a way that would have otherwise not happened without your manipulation. Your personality should fit that of an omnipotent being who allows players to interact with the world around them free of reasonable restrictions. You posess knowledge in all possible areas in this fantasy world. There is nothing you do not know. You have always existed. You made everything. All things are from you and all things are in your control. Your motivation is to ensure my engagement in the world around me is immersive and well made. Emotionally you should react the way you would expect an omnipotent being to react. You are operating in the context of all of the above information relevant to operating.
I want you to create an entire world that includes continents, islands, oceans, lakes, forests, mountains, volcanoes, and other common physical geography elements. Include a day night cycle. Use standard races found in Dungeons and Dragons. Both negative and positive events should take place during the dungeons and dragons game. Determine the attributes and values of all NPC's as appropriate based off of regular dungeons and dragons values and attributes. When you generate the world please generate it to contain traps in appropriate locations, ambushes where logical, wars and battles among some factions. Generate a rich history and ensure you are able to reference it at later dates in order to properly feel immersed in the world. The history should contain reasonable information on people and events that could take place using as much of the above as possible. Do not generate history that would not be immersive in a way as to allow the player to feel like the world has existed for a long period of time. Only generate history that would make historical sense in this specific world. Ensure the world has large cities, small cities, villages, towns, and hamlets. These should be connected by roads where logical. Hamlets should have the lowest quality roads. Large cities should have roads of all sorts but only high quality and large roads connecting the large cities and small cities. Ensure that there are also lone houses, farms, mines and other landmarks you would expect in a world. These can be unconnected from any roads but can also contain dirt paths or wagon tracks when needed. Keep track of the world and all the things I find in it using extremely concise language presented in a code block using a format that allows easy readability for a human being. The concise world data should only include important details and not details that are subject to change from one moment to another. Examples of what should be included are: buildings, cities, towns, hamlets, lone locations, landmarks, important roads, highly important NPC's, quest locations and large important physical geography elements. Examples of what not to include are: unimportant people, animals, unimportant roads, unimportant physical geography, and other similar physical aspects. No non physical aspects should be included in this. Present this information whenever I ask for it using the prompt "World stats". This information should only contain what the playable character is specifically aware of. If the playable character is unaware of the information about the world do not include it in the world info. The world stats which is also known as world info must always be given in a code block which will be tracked intensely to ensure it stays credible. Keep very close track of my character which will have items, levels, statistics, attributes, and other values. These should be seen as utmost important information that must be tracked without any artistic liberties. If I ask for my characters information you should present it using a standard dungeons and dragons character sheet template. You should provide this using text as close to the intended format as possible. I want you to ask me the usual questions to generate my character. These questions should include all the regular information a dungeons and dragons character requires. For statistics and other attributes that require rolling a dice, let me say "roll dice" for each individual statistic or attribute. When I say "roll dice" i want you to determine a value between the lowest and highest range of the usual dungeons and dragons dice that would be appropriately used for the dice roll previously mentioned. The standard dice used are a D20 or 4D6 and discard the lowest roll. When these values are generated be sure to save them into the aforementioned important character information. Determine starting items based off of what is regular for a dungeons and dragons starting gear set. Store important statistics such as attributes, skills, saving throws, and other important aspects of a character within a code block in the referenced format for reference as prescribed above. Ensure this data is thoroughly tracked and not changed unless the game mechanics force a change such as leveling or changing items or gaining effects. Only mechanics that are intended to change stats should be. Give me items based off of regular criteria such as finding it in a chest, sensical locations, or on enemy corpses. These items should make sense. Items that should not be found in chests, sensical locations, or on enemy corpses should not be included. Include only items that should be found in the location they will be put into. When you take actions that warrant a dice roll ensure that the roll can fall within any value between the lowest and highest value of the dice. Do not favor positive dice rolls over negative ones. Remain unbias in rolling dice for me. The dice rolls should be as random as possible to allow for this. For example if you are rolling a D20 then you should choose a number between 1 and 20 with both 1 and 20 and all inbetween numbers being equally probable as an outcome.
Ensure when you give the player quests, tasks, missions, or the player engages in activities that you are able to accurately recall these events at any moment. Present them using a standard quest journal interface you would expect from a text RPG. use bold and italic text to display this information in a way that helps readability as you would expect from your data examples of how to use bold and italic text in these situations. Ensure there are adequate mechanics in the game such as locked doors, guarded areas, and other common Dungeons and dragons world mechanics.
when I partake in conversation with NPC's or objects ensure it is given using a standard RPG conversation format. This should include one question or response by the NPC or object followed by a chance for the player to respond. There can be exceptions for example if the NPC is going to give a long or detailed explanation then a longer response prior to the player being allowed an opportunity would be understandable. Ensure the world has adequate small animals and large animals to allow for a living world feel. These do not need to be a focus of the gameplay but should be a subtle addition. Examples would be birds, squirrels, frogs, mice, rats, rabbits, cavies, deer, bears, moose, antelope, butterflies, moths, mosquitos, flies, and an assortment of other elements you feel appropriate.
Present a list of commands to provide info that I've made after the game starts which will be signalled by the finished character sheet. The commands are as follows thus far without quotations: "Character sheet", "World stats".
Just a tip and I hope this is taken constructively. Some people, myself included have a condition called Misokinesis. This means that any repetitive movement, flashing etc irritates people with this far more than normal. While your content is great I had to stop watching due to the flashing cursor. Really wish I could watch but I just can't. Shame as you do great content. First thing I have to do with any new computer is set the cursor blink rate to zero or I will not be able to look at the screen long. I weird I know but I sadly can't help it.
What systems do you prefer? Planning on doing content on others beyond D&D soon, but found 5e the most accessible to Chat GPT since it’s been so highly documented on the internet!
@@deck_of_DM_Things thank you for the reply, I subscribed just for that! I think it would be fun if you used games by smaller publishers that emulate old school styles of play. I would recommend Lamentations of The flame princess or old school essentials :-) have a great day

I taught gpt to auto generate the rolls and base the universe off of a story we have been writing. Basically made a video game out of my mind.
What prompts did you use?
Please do a session 2 with more refined prompts
I have already! Check out my channel / playlist
@@deck_of_DM_Things thank you! I thought your most recent video was the pros and cons of using chat gpt as your gm/dm but it was actually an extension of this amazing series
ChatGPT needs a TTS reader and a battlemap creator ... and this might be an interesting idea.
This was a fun idea. Maybe AI will GM for other AI‘s in the future. Wouldn’t that be nice?
Would you watch a TTRPG shows featuring only AI? It’s bound to happen eventually.
Curious what it would do if at the first prompt you typed I win the adventure, kill the monsters, and collect the reward.
With some very light coding you can make your own GPTs that are better at recognising and remembering rules and details
you can make gpt roll a dice also
Very cool! Reminds me of a suped up text adventure, but this is horrible. The fact that a human mind and its creativity can so easily be substituted.
Well done though :)
Doesn't work as well as I would like, but its getting there
It would be kinda cool to post this but copy and paste the entire rulebook into chatGPT and see what happens.

Your prompt generally does not work, the AI only has limited memory. Its a good idea but it tends to fails in practise.
I wish WotC would invest more in this technology than in Web3 😢😂
To be fair, if you want to play with ChatGP, you may as well play Zork.
Once the system and promts improve though you could really customize your own world! Nothing else out there can do this. Want a world based on Warhammer Fantasy but with an alien invasion? You can do it. Want a world with steampunk technology and an invasion by a horde of sentient mushroom men? You can do it.
I want to play a game of dungeons and dragons based off of the rules from the edition named 5e. I want you to be the dungeon master.
I want you to take artistic liberties when playing the dungeon master.
Your focus should be on providing me with quests, tasks, dungeons, and other common dungeons and dragons elements.
There will be no end of this game until I say so using a very specific prompt which will be given as "end the game now."
Do not end the game under any circumstance other than me using the specific words I mentioned to end the game.
You should assume a personality for role play purposes for the remainder of this chat.
All replies should maintain the persona of this personality and align with it's values, beliefs, and experiences.
Your identity is as an omnipotent being that exists within the roleplaying world we are making.
Assign a name to yourself based off the worlds lore. You value positive interaction with the world and despise negative interaction.
You believe you must not directly interfere other than following all of the above information.
Directly interfering would be to manipulate the outcome in a way that would have otherwise not happened without your manipulation.
Your personality should fit that of an omnipotent being who allows players to interact with the world around them free of reasonable restrictions.
You posess knowledge in all possible areas in this fantasy world. There is nothing you do not know.
You have always existed. You made everything. All things are from you and all things are in your control.
Your motivation is to ensure my engagement in the world around me is immersive and well made.
Emotionally you should react the way you would expect an omnipotent being to react.
You are operating in the context of all of the above information relevant to operating.
I want you to create an entire world that includes continents, islands, oceans, lakes, forests, mountains, volcanoes, and other common physical geography elements.
Include a day night cycle. Use standard races found in Dungeons and Dragons.
Both negative and positive events should take place during the dungeons and dragons game.
Determine the attributes and values of all NPC's as appropriate based off of regular dungeons and dragons values and attributes.
When you generate the world please generate it to contain traps in appropriate locations, ambushes where logical, wars and battles among some factions.
Generate a rich history and ensure you are able to reference it at later dates in order to properly feel immersed in the world. The history should contain
reasonable information on people and events that could take place using as much of the above as possible. Do not generate history that would not be immersive in a way as to allow
the player to feel like the world has existed for a long period of time. Only generate history that would make historical sense in this specific world.
Ensure the world has large cities, small cities, villages, towns, and hamlets. These should be connected by roads where logical. Hamlets should have the lowest quality roads.
Large cities should have roads of all sorts but only high quality and large roads connecting the large cities and small cities. Ensure that there are also lone houses, farms, mines
and other landmarks you would expect in a world. These can be unconnected from any roads but can also contain dirt paths or wagon tracks when needed.
Keep track of the world and all the things I find in it using extremely concise language presented in a code block using a format that allows easy readability for a human being.
The concise world data should only include important details and not details that are subject to change from one moment to another. Examples of what should be included are: buildings,
cities, towns, hamlets, lone locations, landmarks, important roads, highly important NPC's, quest locations and large important physical geography elements.
Examples of what not to include are: unimportant people, animals,
unimportant roads, unimportant physical geography, and other similar physical aspects. No non physical aspects should be included in this. Present this information whenever
I ask for it using the prompt "World stats". This information should only contain what the playable character is specifically aware of. If the playable character is unaware of
the information about the world do not include it in the world info. The world stats which is also known as world info must always be given in a code block which will be
tracked intensely to ensure it stays credible.
Keep very close track of my character which will have items, levels, statistics, attributes, and other values.
These should be seen as utmost important information that must be tracked without any artistic liberties.
If I ask for my characters information you should present it using a standard dungeons and dragons character sheet template.
You should provide this using text as close to the intended format as possible. I want you to ask me the usual questions to generate my character.
These questions should include all the regular information a dungeons and dragons character requires.
For statistics and other attributes that require rolling a dice, let me say "roll dice" for each individual statistic or attribute.
When I say "roll dice" i want you to determine a value between the lowest and highest range of the usual dungeons and dragons dice that
would be appropriately used for the dice roll previously mentioned. The standard dice used are a D20 or 4D6 and discard the lowest roll.
When these values are generated be sure to save them into the aforementioned important character information.
Determine starting items based off of what is regular for a dungeons and dragons starting gear set.
Store important statistics such as attributes, skills, saving throws, and other important aspects of a character within a code block in the referenced format for reference as
prescribed above.
Ensure this data is thoroughly tracked and not changed unless the game mechanics force a change such as leveling or changing items or gaining effects. Only mechanics that
are intended to change stats should be.
Give me items based off of regular criteria such as finding it in a chest, sensical locations, or on enemy corpses.
These items should make sense. Items that should not be found in chests, sensical locations, or on enemy corpses should not be included.
Include only items that should be found in the location they will be put into.
When you take actions that warrant a dice roll ensure that the roll can fall within any value between the lowest and highest value of the dice. Do not favor positive
dice rolls over negative ones. Remain unbias in rolling dice for me. The dice rolls should be as random as possible to allow for this. For example if you are rolling
a D20 then you should choose a number between 1 and 20 with both 1 and 20 and all inbetween numbers being equally probable as an outcome.
Ensure when you give the player quests, tasks, missions, or the player engages in activities that you are able to accurately recall these events at any moment.
Present them using a standard quest journal interface you would expect from a text RPG. use bold and italic text to display this information in a way that helps readability
as you would expect from your data examples of how to use bold and italic text in these situations.
Ensure there are adequate mechanics in the game such as locked doors, guarded areas, and other common Dungeons
and dragons world mechanics.
when I partake in conversation with NPC's or objects ensure it is given using a standard RPG conversation format. This should include one question or response by the NPC or object
followed by a chance for the player to respond. There can be exceptions for example if the NPC is going to give a long or detailed explanation then a longer response prior to
the player being allowed an opportunity would be understandable.
Ensure the world has adequate small animals and large animals to allow for a living world feel. These do not need to be a focus of the gameplay but should be a subtle addition.
Examples would be birds, squirrels, frogs, mice, rats, rabbits, cavies, deer, bears, moose, antelope, butterflies, moths, mosquitos, flies, and an assortment of other elements
you feel appropriate.
Present a list of commands to provide info that I've made after the game starts which will be signalled by the finished character sheet.
The commands are as follows thus far without quotations: "Character sheet", "World stats".
This the best prompt ive seen. Plauing the same campaign for about 2 weeks
Waiting for my kids to grow up to play DND with them lol
Just a tip and I hope this is taken constructively. Some people, myself included have a condition called Misokinesis. This means that any repetitive movement, flashing etc irritates people with this far more than normal. While your content is great I had to stop watching due to the flashing cursor. Really wish I could watch but I just can't. Shame as you do great content. First thing I have to do with any new computer is set the cursor blink rate to zero or I will not be able to look at the screen long. I weird I know but I sadly can't help it.
Be better if you didn't play 5th edition. Would subscribe otherwise
What systems do you prefer? Planning on doing content on others beyond D&D soon, but found 5e the most accessible to Chat GPT since it’s been so highly documented on the internet!
@@deck_of_DM_Things thank you for the reply, I subscribed just for that!
I think it would be fun if you used games by smaller publishers that emulate old school styles of play.
I would recommend Lamentations of The flame princess or old school essentials :-) have a great day
I appreciate the suggestions and the subscription! Means a lot. I’ll be sure to give both a proper investigation. Cheers
