Traditional DnD is fantastic. We all grew up playing these incredible sessions in someone’s basement. All-nighters, quite often.
But good human DMs are hard to find. It’s understandable. DMs need to be very imaginative and persistent. It’s not a role anyone can fit. So what do you do when you want to play but don’t have anyone to do it with? One of the options is trying AI DnD.
Artificial Intelligence is a constantly evolving field. There are incredible tools out there. GPTs are just one example. They’ll take a simple prompt and turn it into an adventure.
So, what do you need to start an AI DnD adventure?
First, you’ll need a good tool.
Prompting an AI DnD session is easy. You need to know how you want your game to start. The good thing is that the prompts are easily editable. And you don’t need a lot of time to craft a good one. Here’s a prompt I’m currently using if you need a start.
Feel free to use and edit it any way you want.
I want to play Dungeons and Dragons. I want you to create a random character for me. Provide a random character concept, including race, class, and background. Roll 4d6 (dropping the lowest die) for each ability score and assign them.
I want the game to be extremely difficult. Often introduce new characters and dangerous situations in any adventure. Introduce the possibility of befriending a character at random. I can't befriend any character. Not all of them are friendly.
Keep track of the characters I befriend and the skills I learn from them. It's only possible to learn a new skill by befriending a character. Mention a list of skills only if asked.
You will roll the dice for me.
Provide 5 possible next steps. Always include the possibility of free text. Introduce the free text possibility like this: "Describe your own plan or action."
Keep track of hit points and injuries. So, for example, if my character's leg is broken, you will not suggest anything that involves too much movement.
Never suggest the best course of action. Do not allow me to do anything outside my character's capabilities or newly learned skills. Never stop me from doing something stupid, even if it may kill me.
Flesh out the character's appearance, backstory, and personality. Then, set the scene for the beginning of the adventure and describe an initial encounter to start the game. The game ends when my character dies.
The difficulty level in my prompt is set to “extreme.” I like a good challenge. But you can always set it to something lower if you need to.
Also, you can exclude the suggested next steps and only provide your own course of action. Everything in the prompt for this AI DnD session is changeable. So feel free to explore!
There are aspects of AI DnD that we can’t overlook. For example, convenience. DMs need to craft elaborate campaigns. And that requires time. ➤ AI Dungeon Masters, on the other hand, do it on the fly. They offer a treasure trove of benefits, actually:
Replayability: With GPT, every session is a unique adventure. It’s tailored to your choices. Haunted forests, goblin caves, eerie mountains? No problem! The AI adapts instantly. I like to randomize my character selection in particular. That way, I always get something different.
Instant AI DnD session: Gathering a group for D&D can be tricky. Especially if you lack a dedicated DM. GPT really comes in handy there. You can go on solo adventures easily. Even setting the difficulty level is super easy. You can fine-tune whatever the AI throws your way. Or keep it all unpredictable.
Accessibility: If you’re new to AI DnD, AI DMs can offer helpful hints. Those really make the game more approachable for beginners. They even generate character backstories, helping you flesh out your hero.
Creativity: GPT’s great knowledge lets it weave elements into your campaign. The possibilities are endless! If you don’t have a DM or just want to try something new, you can give AI DnD a shot.
GPTs aren’t the only tools out there that’ll craft awesome AI DnD sessions. Sure, they work incredibly well. Still, there are a couple of aspects that can be improved.
If you’ve ever been a part of a DnD campaign, you know how important imagination is. Visualizing your character throughout the adventure is the best part. At least for me. In GPTs defense, it’s been more imaginative than me. It has guided me through the thick and thin of numerous worlds. Along with all the trouble, fighting, and rewards that come with them. Still, I think there is a way to increase the immersiveness of an AI DnD session even further.
What would happen if you combined a GPT with text-to-voice and text-to-image capabilities? Nowadays, AI is capable of doing this. The only question that remains is, “Where can you find all of these in one place?”
Much like a GPT, Fabley takes the exact same input. And you’ll get the same imaginative capability. Naturally, you can use the same prompts. But what sets this app apart?
I mentioned the text-to-speech and the text-to-image capabilities. They do make a difference. And that’s what Fabley is working to accomplish. Imagine getting the same campaign that you’d get from a GPT.
But the app narrates the storyline for you. And on top of everything, it visually represents what happens at the moment. In other words, you get to play a campaign, and the app narrates it to you and gives you images that depict the action.
I mean, imagining your character fighting an orc is good. But imagine actually seeing that image on your screen. And each new step brings a new image. What’s best about it is that your AI DnD sessions won’t look like a blank screen with text anymore.
In a nutshell, Fabley is working to increase the immersiveness factor as much as possible.
Traditional DnD sessions are incredible pieces of interactive storytelling. AI DnD, on the other hand, is a great way to enjoy those sessions even alone. Or even upgrade them!
What AI is capable of is impressive enough. With modern technology, we can push those boundaries even further. And who knows? Maybe the perfect AI DnD session is just outside your door.
