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.
Same. My problem has never been generating content, it’s been in parring down alllll the content I produce to actually fit in a game, and organizing it in a way that produces a cohesive narrative.
EDIT: Was thinking about this more and was going to add that I don’t normally use random tables/generators, for the same reason. But there is one exception: I will absolutely generate NPC names. And it occurs to me that ChatGPT would be as good as or better than existing generators.
For names, I tend to use Behind the Name’s random name generator.
