I’m not a DM and I’ve never played DND so maybe this sucks but I thought I’d pass it on because I like browsing this community.
I was messing around with Bing Image Creator and thought I’d see what kind of map I could make. I think my immature prompt here was “The Ball Zone: Dungeons and Dragons battle map of a ball factory. Balls are used as obstacles throughout the map”
I’m not sure if I’d use anything Bing makes as-is but it might be cool for inspiration at least
So I’ve been playing around with this some more, and this might genuinely be one of the best usage of AI image generation for ttrpg games I’ve come across. Previously I was using it to generate character portraits and splash screen backgrounds, but this looks like it’s going to be a big practical help when it comes to planning fights etc. I’d never even considered using if for this so thanks, seriously. I can already see the possibilities for making my life easier, lol.
I have a LOT of reservations about using these generative models but if you’re using it as a source of inspiration, to me it’s the same as looking at thousands of maps…just wayyy faster.
