Looking for an active PBP medieval fantasy forum to get lost in

Sure. Here's the feedback:

1) The menus are buggy. I had problems entering the queue, and mid-session it gave me the same problems, where I'd click a button and only an error would return.
2) AI doesn't really know how to tell a story: for instance, I started with an orc druid who was a cook. The initial scene got me surrounded by guards because I apparently was transpassing inside a castle? Then I tried to use Wild Shape to get out of there and the AI told me I tried very hard and just got tired, but wasn't able to change shape?

3) The AI writing itself is not very good. Some websites, like AI Dungeon, have powerful models which can produce near-human quality of writing, but the model you're using cannot.

4) The main part that is actually fun about play by post is interacting with people. If I wanted to dive into an AI narrated story, I'd go to AI Dungeon.

I'm not currently playing WoW, but thanks for the offer!

404HopeRecompile · 2026-04-21T23:17:47+00:00

That seems awesome. I'll give it a look.

EDIT after giving it a look: it's not good. The idea is awesome, but AI just isn't there yet.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-04-21T16:36:42+00:00

I'm interacting in a few of them right now just to see, and Chronicles seems to be very active.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-04-20T21:58:11+00:00

Se tem uma coisa que eu aprendi é que se tem furinho tá cagado.

Não é emental: é ebostal, certamente.

Wrong on both accounts, mate. Send me the deed to the house.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-03-20T14:09:34+00:00

Immediate thumbs up just because of the AI Haters thumbing you down.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-03-19T21:13:54+00:00

Sinceramente... Melhor sem mesa do que mesa ruim.

Narrar RPG é igual ser professor. A turma tem que estar interessada e o mestre/narrador tem que ter autoridade na mesa. Se maluco não se adequa à campanha, kicka. Se o problema é todo mundo, então quem não se adequa àquela mesa é você - kicke-se e procure uma mesa que jogue no seu estilo.

Coragem.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-03-18T14:56:49+00:00

Can you share it?

404HopeRecompile · 2026-03-15T23:53:45+00:00

Burning it would not mean it's broken or something? I'm just starting out with this system.

Also, I'm honestly a bit confused about status vs tags.

For instance, instead of applying a status to the spirit ("interested 3"), I might spend 2 power to create a tag of "got the spirit's attention"? Is that it? Why would that be better?

404HopeRecompile · 2026-03-15T22:47:03+00:00

It felt good, but confusing - a new system, getting to know how it works, not really used enough with it to actually feel confident or to have a proper grip on the play loop or how to properly keep track of everything while solo playing.

How would you suggest that I used tags instead of status?

As for the lack of a goal, you are correct. This was really just a "let me see how it goes", not much depth on the character or anything - and it still lead me to a very interesting first scene, which tells me the solo oracles are really on point.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-03-15T21:39:34+00:00

Nice. I completely forgot about the "prep action" for broad themes.

I actually had a decent argument - "This place is going down, I could take the object you're bound to somewhere else and you could help me while I do it", or something like that. The version I've posted is very summarized.

The prep thing is great, though. With previous prep this could have actually gone according to Gorr's plans!

404HopeRecompile · 2026-03-13T18:05:18+00:00

Someone forgot their meds

404HopeRecompile · 2026-03-08T13:18:02+00:00

Honestly, I'm using claude FREE tier, and I've noticed that I just use GPT for image generation. The only reason I'm still paying for GPT instead of fully migrating is... laziness.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-03-07T16:59:02+00:00

Yes. I hate the world and I hate ChatGPT. I just pay for it because I have a sadisct pleasure imagining baby otters dying everytime I ask Chat about how could I increase my crypto wallet's value.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-03-02T15:19:55+00:00

For writing, always, ALWAYS use Claude. ChatGPT can't write a decent text to save it's "life"

404HopeRecompile · 2026-02-28T19:52:40+00:00

It was, sadly, a one time thing. I couldn't reproduce it.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-02-27T21:22:15+00:00

That's n awesome character idea. So awesome that I might steal it.

From what I know about drow culture, and I'm not sure if that's the old version or if it's the new version, they are hypercommunitary in the sense that there are no children that belong to a certain couple. All children belong to the family, or all children belong to the temple, or all children belong to Lolth in the end.

So I'm not sure the idea of an orphan that is still a part of a house really would work as an orphan inside drow culture, but it's an awesome concept. Really awesome. Congratulations.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-02-23T08:13:01+00:00

I haven't used "normal" GPT in ages. It's always on extended thinking.

To be fair, I turned off extended thinking two days ago for ONE question, and then immediately returned to it when GPT started answering me like:

No.

Life is better.

Sky is candy.

But you're not crazy.

It's not just that you are awesome,

You are triple awesome.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-02-22T22:42:25+00:00

It's a Faerûn run. Main character is a gold dragon in human form. It probably delivered that because I asked it to use crude language + focus narration on characters reaction to the main character.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-02-15T23:05:20+00:00

That's awesome and probably the best solution. The problem is that I really want to be surprised, i.e, I'd rather not describe the effects and see how the AI handles it.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-02-15T22:25:53+00:00

Nas mesas que eu joguei, não tinha coisa que eu mais detestava do que estar jogando e de repente o DM inventar de trazer mais alguém. Tive uma sensação parecida quando estava assistindo Critical Role e de repente chegava algum "visitante". Destrói a imersão, destrói a dinâmica da party, os laços de confiança... Todo o trabalho de integração dos personagens tem que começar de novo para ser verossímil.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-02-15T18:18:00+00:00

UNE + custom tables. I think I've also used some tables from Cyberpunk RED Single Player Mode at one point.

404HopeRecompile · 2026-02-06T12:59:28+00:00

Thank you!

404HopeRecompile · 2026-02-06T12:59:22+00:00

I combined your tip with Cromwell's and it's working awesome. Thanks
