Good luck! I’m slightly ashamed to say this but I have found ChatGPT 4 an absolute godsend to design small quests and encounters when I’m pushed for time (or more regularly when my party decides to do something utterly random). Your mileage may vary, of course.
- bovermyer 3y agoFor years I've worked on a generator website to handle stuff like this. I don't think I'll ever use AI for it. See: https://ironarachne.com https://ironarachne.com
- thom 3y agoThat’s really useful, ta! The advantage of ChatGPT is that I can ensure a certain kind of setting or flavour, or push it to include particularly thematic actions or terrain. Or if the party arrives at a marketplace in a new city, I can quickly spin up ten characters with different backgrounds and potential side quests for them to talk to (and dig in deeper if something particularly fun comes up). I know this makes me weak and feeble but I only have so much time to prepare each session sadly (and my players regularly go off the beaten path).
- bovermyer 3y agoI wouldn't say this makes you "weak and feeble." If the tool is solving a problem for you, then it's doing its job. Just because I won't use AI for this doesn't mean I think others are bad for using it. Now... _selling_ work that was produced with AI, that's a different story.
