I used your prompt and love it. One problem I encountered is the abilities only generate modifiers but not the actual ability score. Any thoughts on why that is happening?
This was the most informative video on how to use ChatGPT in a RPG. Thank you. What was specifically useful was the format information. I love using ChatGPT to see its limits. I use it for conversions as well and it does a fair job as long as your paying attention to it closely. [I am using 3.5]. Again great video thanks again. Sorry for being 8 months late your your channel.
Claude 2 is also a handy tool if you have access to the text or PDFs of adventures. Many of the older adventures don't really do a good job at fleshing out NPCs, Rooms, Plot Points, and Encounters. Once uploaded, you can ask Claude to help you add depth, descriptions, motivations, secrets, mood, plots and more.
Thank you for this. I have a PDF for a campaign setting for a different ttrpg system that I have been trying to adapt to yet another system. I am hoping that Claude will be able to help me with this
Good catch! Yeah ChatGPT v3.5 is what I used here, and v4 would probably be more accurate. I’ll edit the prompt if I figure out a way to get it a little more accurate at 3.5.
I'm really impressed by these prompts. I tend to stick to just GPT4.0 for campaign writing, but I'm struggling to get really good prompts. I'm going to have to break this down to understand why these work so well and give such consistent results. If you're looking for another d&d / gpt video idea, consider working on prompts to build out the campaigns and quests. I've found it to be really strong for this, and very capable of keeping track of NPCs, what they know, and how they fit into the story. But, it's markedly better on GPT4.
I want to write a language model specifically for solo/co-operative play of a ttrpg I want to make. I made one ttrpg. It was fun. But, I'm obsessed with the idea of using AI for table top gaming to diminish any preparation. Currently I'm having trouble getting the AI to understand contextual stuff. Its killin' me. lol
@@TingenLaw It was cool. Then I got obsessed with another idea. Bahahaha! I'll probably get back to this one eventually. I got as far as to create functional intents. It worked okay if I used a cosine similarity algorithm thingy. Still, nothing even CLOSE to GPT-3 or even 2 for that matter.
It looks like it recognized that you had a +4 to your attack for your light crossbow (against the Orc) but, it didn't take the +4 into account when telling you if the attack missed or hit and it was incorrect as a 12 on the D20 +4 would be 16 and the Orc had an AC of 13 at 13:00
I put the prompts for sale on my site--it's $10. A couple of others have put the prompts in the comments and I haven't taken them down. Either way you get them is fine by me.
@@TingenLawyou are already attempting to make money off a UA-cam video.. not sharing the prompts here is actually trash. Move along.. I will get my prompts from everyone else sharing them in the info. Which literally everyone else is doing. This isn’t a get rich scheme.
Okay, so I copied your first prompt by hand and put it into ChatGPT 3.5 (I don't have access to 4) and it doesn't want to do it, keeps making excuses like "It's too many variables to calculate" and "I don't understand Markdown tables" which I know is BS. Help?
This does not currently work as displayed in this video. Chat GPT 3.5 currently seems to have issues with calculating HP and AC accurately all the time. It struggles with saving throw calculations, it does not display all the skills and it does not fill in personality traits, bonds, ideals, flaws based on what is in the player's handbook. It is still pretty cool but make sure to check its work and YMMV.
I've been struggling with getting Chat GPT (Only have access to 3.5) to generate characters for a few days now and was hoping this would be the key but even with your prompt I am hitting a lot of walls. The AI often gets the math wrong on certain things like Starting HP and AC. It also likes to make things up like abilities or personality traits... The time it takes me to proof the content is about how long it would take me to just make the character in the first place... sigh...
Great video, very helpful. If I may offer some advice? Please turn off your discord notifications while you're recording. Makes me think I have notifications and I don't even have it open currently.
The Scene Info prompt that I use in this video does a pretty good job of describing the world, and the random event prompt and battle info prompt are good for helping take turns.
I am currently trying it the other way around. I am having GPT DM me as a solo PC through "The Wild Beyond the Witchlight". The Character Generator gave me an ally and I told the AI to control them as an NPC member of my party. I also asked it to allow me to gather other members as the story progresses like in an epic adventure movie.
this guy really SELLING a Chat GPT prompt for DnD with version 3.5.... That's some slimy shit man. It doesn't work. No amount of fussing with 3.5 can come anywhere close to being able to maintain a few turns in combat, much less keep up with stats, roll bonuses, multiple characters interacting at once. Lol 4.0 does a half-decent job and you tried selling a PDF for 3.5? Hilarious.
i love the video, found it very informative and seems useful. shame youve locked the prompts behind a pay wall i mean 20 bucks just for some prompts, from this video it seems fairly self explanatory and anyone should be able to recreate these results without paying for your lessons not that anyone would want to pay that much

It usually generates the ability score for me, but I'm sure you could force it by asking specifically for it in the prompt.
Thanks for your comment.
@@TingenLaw extreamly easy to fix. Change "A three-column markdown table" to "A four-column markdown table" it will solve the issue
Just purchased the prompt PDF and love your Copyright section. It accurately describes the current state of IP in this new AI era.
Ha, thanks for reading the details!. Best - Jacob
Anyone could be a DM before chatGPT! Free your creativity from perfection and allow yourself you flounder towards greatness!

There are way better videos about this out there and they actually share their prompts. Just sayin

Yeah, I use GPT 3.5 for game play because it's so much faster, but definitely see better results with GPT4.
Care to share any of these that you’ve used for building those things out?

Yes, please do :) you scripted the wholenthing brilliantly :)

He is a lawyer so you shouldn't be surprised he would try to monetize this
The future of AI in RP video games and table top games looks bright!
My favorite tool for D&D 5e. All I need is a way to better organize the notes it takes. That'd put my production into the stratosphere.
This is amazing
Would be interesting to see one for the creation of a Pathfinder 2e character.
I've heard great things about Pathfinder, but alas, I've never tinkered with it. I'm sure a prompt could be adapted for that.
Was nice video continue 🔥
Dude, this lovely, thankyou for sharing, would you have any advice on how to bring in chat gpt if youre mid journey?
13:06 Isn't that wrong? If you rolled a 12 and have +4 that's 16. You very much hit AC 13.
I have noted ChatGPT has issues with counting.

Thanks for the tip--i'll keep in mind for the next video.
Lol. It got me too. I kept checking.
i wonder if by tweaking some words whether these prompts can be used for Pathfinder or World of Darkness or any ttrpg available online.
Yep for sure, I made a Star Wars FFG RPG character and also run a campaign with CHATGPT.
I loved the DnD movie. I have seen it twice and cried both times. I loved Michelle Rodriguez as the Barbarian
It was excellent, right?
Has anyone here DM'd Chat GPT?
GPT only performs the actions of the party, whilst the user describes the world and the NPC's.
The Scene Info prompt that I use in this video does a pretty good job of describing the world, and the random event prompt and battle info prompt are good for helping take turns.

That is a great idea for play-testing (at least) parts of your adventure.

"buy my prompt." Yeah fucking right...
If you played in my game I'd designate you the rules lawyer. 😊
cool! enjoy playing dnd, you will have plenty of times when LLMs will replace you
Your Audio is very off even with nice set up its super muted on speakers
Sucks you put it behind a pay wall.
Absolutely disgusting.
