    I will speak to my experiences with it.

    I love solo roleplaying; I’ve been doing it for years. I was super excited with the advent of Dungeon AI, ChatGPT, NovelAI, and others. I have tried them all extensively. What I have found is that they are great sounding boards for generating ideas, descriptions, and even, sometimes, dialog.

    However, AI is not quite ready to replace a DM. I’ve found that the stories it produces are very flat and repetitive. What’s more, they become very predictable once you realize that they act a bit like lucid dreams–it’s very easy to influence the story, even accidentally, by what you say.

    Used in conjunction with a solo oracle, like Mythic GME, it can be a great asset.










  • My character is an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, with the Telekinesis Feat. I’ve tried to take only spells that can be explained as manifestations of psychic power. The character’s name? Robert Brün. As in, Bobby Brown. As in, Millie Bobby Brown.

    I haven’t told my DM or the other players about the pun, yet. I’m wondering how long it takes until they figure it out 😁
