hands are basically fixed... but behind the version 5 paywall.

Come to think of it, maybe one could a quick buck there... The bar for both 5e and AI is not high...
written by chapGPT based on a one paragraph description of a planet from my home game. Illustrated by DALL-E. I spent about 10 minutes throwing it together in indesign. the prompts for art come from the text, pasted as-is into bing image creator, never more than one pass on the art, the text is not edited. includes pre-gens and monster statblocks. For BRP.

Yeah, with some editing this could become an actual module.

I've tried using chatgpt to write stuff and given up because it always gives me banal nonspecific results that I could easily do without it.

This would require the level of editing requiring a complete rewrite.

Yeah, ChatGPT can follow a pattern of writing but it does not understand how to make an adventure fun.

You could say that about an unfortunate amount of GM's and game writers.
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

just found out about Leonardo.Ai it is really cool imo... one of the things it dose is allow you to save backgroundless images... so the subject is cut out with a alpha.. making integration into other assets easier. Also you can train your own datasets of images. Like say you draw 15 drawings, it uses that data set to make more in that style. Fascinating new system... worth a look.

Also you can use two prompts.. one is the input prompt and the other is a DO NOT DO prompt. So... P:sunset over ocean and then DONOT: two suns (as often AI will show 2 suns at the moment for some reason)


P: Water Colour Wash, Dragon Aura, Female Sorcerer, Rainbow Hair, Ethereal Background, high detail, colourful.
NO: Full Body Dragon, Legs, hands

yeah but that is true of any tool. You can literally make award winning indie films on your phone and some cheap lapel mics. People still need drive and talent to do it. Same for anything.

Yes you could.  So there is no reason to automate what they produce, so as to produce it even faster.

I don't know how you are using it but I've found it to be one of the greatest creative idea generators I've ever used.  I've designed multiple adventures going from ocean going to ancient city all with ChatGPT.  Crafting your prompts to get the "right" answers you are looking for can be a bit of a learning curve. Talking to it like a human being is the path to failure. Talking to it like an Idiot Child I find the results are better.


MidJourney has certain "forbidden" terms that you can appeal if it say "Oh that's a Naughty word!".  I ran into this multiple times with permutations of "god of blood" or "evil god of blood" or "skin of <anything>".   You hit the "That's bullshit this is fine" button and every appeal I won and my image was generated. It really does not want you to make pictures of "God" or something.

ChatGPT routinely hallucinates and gives me bizarre outputs too.

Some real live GM's do the same.
I'm glad for you if you like the top selling game of the genre.  Me, I like the road less travelled, and will be the player asking we try a game you've never heard of.

That's becoming you haven't upgraded their operating system. ;D

I recommend uninstalling the WotC OS and replacing it with something less likely to result in nonsense.

Is this asked with a straight face or are you being sarcastic?

'Cos after I looked at the art - the distorted coins and the dragon wing that seems to extend from the ridgeline of the beast's neck, I wasn't too sure.

I actually thought the sword was the weirdest looking thing. Take a close look.

Yes, but they at least have the potential to learn while a computer program does not.
