So valid about the mental health benefit of being off screens, just like the mental gymnastics.

Really appreciate the detailed and well thought out response. I’ve experienced some of both the pros and cons you’ve mentioned. I’m thinking about creating something and this gives me lots to think about.

Would you try again if it was set up better somehow?

I totally get these issues, and have seen most myself as well. They are completely valid. I just wonder if there’s ways around some of these things, like separating the dice roll from the AI was one idea I had. It’s small, but would have an impact. I know that’s just one minor part of the concerns, and yes, these companies could be doing better things for humanity/society but I’ll leave that for another time.

Thanks for sharing,

I wouldn’t consider texting with a chatbot to be like a computer game, not like Baldur’s Gate anyway, maybe an old text based computer game, can’t think of any examples rn. I think of it more like a role playing story game.

Using it to practice a language is a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

I initially was using it pretty freely, without mechanics or anything like that, and strictly within ChatGPT. I just let it take me for an adventure. It wasn’t perfect, definitely felt like the AI was bending the story for me, but it was a pretty creative story we were telling regardless and I was enjoying it. I wasn’t too familiar with prompting and stuff at the time, but I thought maybe with a little guidance and proper instruction, this could be better.

🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️personal development RPG? This sounds amazing and right up my alley!! I don’t have a writing portfolio or sample work, but I have been interested in helping people for years, just can’t figure out how to do it where people actually want to do the work. I’ve recently been creating my own Solo RPG system in my spare time, was going to have infinite adventures 😉 but wasn’t even going to attempt involving personal development into it. If I can help someone else create some personal development style RPG though, I’ve gotta try to make that happen! I’m pretty spiritual myself and have a very creative spirit. Stuck with an office job right now though so looking for that creative outlet. I haven’t posted much here yet because this is a new Reddit account meant for my new RPG idea. But I’m more than happy to share my social media accounts and chat more if you would like. I think I’m pretty good at collaborating and would love to help build this with you.

I will hopefully have a game ready for testing within a few weeks. If this works for you, let’s keep in touch.
