I used chatGPT to play a Red Dead 2 dnd game. I played as Sean MacGuire and I robbed a homestead with Karen Jones. Once I got the AI to allow me to make my own roles during combat (which I did using physical dice which I input the results for) It was great. Even the roleplay turned out really good between characters, I was able to have some romantic moments with Karen and even got to play a full game of poker with the rest of the gang. When a dedicated AI is designed to run TTRPGs it's gonna be amazing.
Oh 1000% when they can pair it with a digital tabletop, gg. Also if you are interested I record my 1-on-1 sessions with GPT. In one I’m a bard who is about to go on a serious adventure. In the other, well that one isn’t released yet but it’s kinda fun.
Great video! Rules on surprise: surprise itself does not grant you advantage. It simply causes those with the surprise condition to be skipped on their respective turn in combat when they have the surprise condition. You gain advantage whenever you are unseen. Oftentimes when you do surprise the enemy you are also unseen, but surprise in itself does not grant advantage. However this can vary from DM to DM if they have different house rules! This is a great tool, ChatGBT will save me so much time on creating new NPCs!!
Right. When I was editing I noticed that I went and then initiative started, kinda like it gave me a surprise round. And yeah I’ve been using the heck out of this thing for the campaign I run.
Additionally, as Sariel is an assassin, she should have advantage on attack rolls made against creatures that have not yet taken turns. Sneak Attack also procs if you have advantage OR if an enemy of the target is within five feet, so she should have done the extra damage for the first two attacks regardless of whether she had any allies adjacent to the goblins.
True that! I forgot about assassin as a subclass rather than just a descriptor. I’m going to try this again with GPT4 along with a couple plugins to see if it can apply the rules a bit better.
The limitation of ChatGPT is that you can not roleplay or act as evil alignment characters do, as it should be, cause the current content policy will stop you and block all policy-offended messages even if you are using relevant known bypassing prompts. If you know other ways to do this, let me know.
Very interesting. If I had time I’d play around with it and see what I could do. My ultimate hope is that ai like GPT can be adapted strictly for rpging. Then you could combine that with AR and online tabletops and have a remote game with an AI DM, which would mean D&D wherever, with whomever and no one has to dm.
RU-vid algorithm decided to show me this video, and I'm totally here for it! Subscribed! Looking forward to seeing how well your testing progresses with this.
I understand that Dungeons and Dragons is the most well known rpg on the market. It's the most likely to get viewers. however, there are many great systems out there and ChatGPT is familiar with most of them. The world of darkness would also get a lot of views for instance. Chatgpt variety would be nice.

@@TBLReady It would be nice if ChatGPT would learn from people doing this and evolve to become a better DM simply by asking for it to be one instead of having to outline all of the details at the beginning each time you start a campaign. It is still impressive where it is already.
That may be because it has trouble remembering further back than like 40000 words or something like that. I’m glad you can use it to play with your son, that’s really cool!
@@TBLReady I was using it last weekend just for stat blocks for monsters, I even asked to increase the difficulty and it did. Chat GPT is great to help DMs in a pinch!
This is the hardest obstacle by far. In the initial prompt I had to make sure I gave it an example for how I wanted it to respond when my character “____” was going to act or speak. Like “what do you do”
@TBLReady I was able to fix it by making a new chat telling it everything from the last one but before I start the campaign I give it a format to speak in
At this point, given a solid prompt, it can run a great narrative combat and can even keep track of spell slots and effects. Where it struggles and what makes it a no until resolved is its inability to do math well consistently and its disregard for rules in order to support the narrative it wants to complete.
@@TBLReady maybe uts my prompt. I have tried so.many times and different ways. It always tells me it doesn't know or remember monster stats and abilities. It constantly tries to take over PC's. Doesn't track health and won't remember anything after 20 minutes
@chrismaddox9884 you are not alone. Taking over PCs is honestly the biggest frustration for me in getting the game to run. I am making a gpt that should understand the roles and limitations of a dungeon master in gpt4. When it comes to stats and abilities I upload a character sheet to gpt now. I’d imagine if you sent links to sites with monster stats it would help but not enough to make it worth while. I honestly think, at this point gpt is limited to theater of the mind/ narrative / role play heavy games.
It’s fun. I think in the future there will be some language models tailor made to specific gaming systems. That’s when TTRPG will change significantly.
Good question. You don’t have to tell it the rules. It uses the available online resources like the 5e SRD. It knows a lot but not everything just by telling it to be knowledgeable on the topic.
WOOT! I'm so excited to be subscibed to your channel when it is still so small and new! I have tried running one with chatGBT myself and I have something I must warn you about, its about how ChatGBT forgets anything farther back than about 40,000 words. Keep that in mind for your campaing! Also good luck being a new dad! I want to be one soon but thats far away. college first.
I've been trying to run a solo campaign and have found it easier to just prompt chatgpt to describe what attack the enemy makes and I do the roll as I found it often would use a different modifier for each attack, even with the same weapon and when describing the damage would describe the wrong dice for that damage. Like it would say, "The half-ogre swings its greatsword at you twice, getting a 16 + 3 for a 19 to hit on the first attack and 7 + 5 for a 12 on the second attack for a 12 to hit, both hit (despite my characters ac being 18) and then it rolls would say the great ax the half ogre swung dealt 15 damage and its second hit dealt 3 damage.
Yeah I do all my own rolls in my Solo Bard campaign. I’ve had GPT swap out whole weapons and modifiers on me too. There are things it does well and things it does poorly that’s for sure
One tip make it create a character sheet to go back to. Help a lot i might be creating a prompt where you just copy and paste it into chatgpt and then it wil ask you questions on what type of stuff you want yk
I’m not sure if you can upload a character sheet but I guess you could list all the text on it. But GPT will create you a full character sheet that can be copied and pasted
Would it be possible to have GPT to randomly generate a dungeon using Dungeon Crawl tables like Sandbox Generator? It would be great for a program to randomly generate a dungeon and dungeon encounters on the fly and have the solo player interact to what is presented.
This is something I’ve been playing with. It isn’t possible to do well in GPT 3.5. It’s memory isn’t up to par and it often can’t track space in an imagined plane. Now that GPT 4 is getting better at using tools it should be able to in the future. I have a had a little success asking it to run an option based dungeon crawl in my Rhys video series finale (coming out tomorrow). It did… okay
Interesting video. One thing that struck me when watching the combat was how high everyone is rolling. Do we know if the AI uses a RNG or something like that? Or are these rolls not really random?
That’s a good question. When I play my one-on-one seasons with it I roll my own dice. For this the rolls are probably not exactly random if I had to guess. I could ask it but in the past it would say it was capable of even making the rolls and then other times just does it.
Usually I try to give him/her or it (:D) the command to determine the hp of the enemies but I say to her to not tell me the number. I feel like sometimes.. the AI doesn't know how much hp an enemy should have or even.. AI may have never determined their hp. Once, I asked her to describe the combat including the hp loses and what I noticed is that it loses the track of hp, damage applied or it never registered any of them. Sometimes you end up having the opponent having negative hp. So, often I also say to her at the beginning to be familiar with dnd 5e death mechanics and combat mechanics.. that helps but eventually it loses the track and its mind. In general GPT-3.5 is getting lost in those complex situations. Either way.. it's an AI that's used for general purpose so I think it's doing a damn good job. Now, we need to wait for someone that will build an AI specifically for DnD :D GPT-4 although, I have not noticed much problems.. The only problem I noticed so far is 25 message limit.
That’s awesome! Yeah I realized that 3.5 actually is bad at most mathematics generally so Hp tracking is like asking it to wall backwards in the dark lol. In my test chat I tried to fix this with prompts around combat and hp tracking and it took me way old the rails in my game. I think I’m going to go ahead a subscribe to get access to 4. It sounds worth it at this point. Do you know if I would keep my chats thus far? Or would I have to start new chats in 4?
