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.
I did a couple of try with mixed result.
When pre-generating PC for one shot, I like to have some backstory and individual objective which might conflict with each other (e.g. adding a love triangle, or a cop infiltrated among the robbers). and I try to use chat GPT to turn bullet points into a whole paragraph of text.
I would say it’s more or less working, but still require some work to review/rewrite the text afterwards. I’ve seen chatGPT adding some "imaginary’ facts to the paragraph, and revealing “spoiler” to someone.
On the big picture, I am not sure that I saved that much time compared to writing it myself
