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.

    Na minha opinião pessoal, ChatGPT é uma ferramenta útil para GMs ocupados de D&D. Pode ajudar a criar histórias, NPCs e locais rapidamente. No entanto, o GM ainda precisa verificar e editar o resultado do ChatGPT para garantir a qualidade e consistência da história.

    Ao mesmo tempo, os GMs também devem considerar combinar o uso do ChatGPT com outras fontes de ideias para manter o jogo variado e interessante. Esperamos que outros GMs também compartilhem mais experiências usando ChatGPT para D&D.

    The personalization in sharing the author's own work style helps create a feeling of authenticity and intimacy. This also opens the door for readers to share their opinions, experiences, and even suggestions on how to optimize the use of ChatGPT in a GMing environment.

    ChatGPT puede ayudar a los DJ a ahorrar tiempo preparando rápidamente la trama, los NPC y los detalles necesarios para el juego. Sin embargo, GM todavía necesita supervisión y edición para garantizar la calidad y adaptarse a su propio estilo.

    I think this is a good and creative idea to use ChatGPT to support the work of the Game Master (GM) in games like D&D. ChatGPT's strength is that it can automatically create content and core details. story quickly based on the GM's input requirements. This saves preparation time for the GM. However, I also agree with the author that the GM still needs to monitor the output quality of ChatGPT, adding its own details to create its own style and feel. for your game.

    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.)
