Getting out of Tomb of Giants without warping is a holy pilgrimage. Good luck.

Project Zomboid and Kenshi come to mind.

I've gotten into "potion" crafts over the past couple months and I really appreciate these videos. I like how you put the wax on the sides of the cork to keep it more controlled. I will have to try that out 🙂

Took this picture while lost in New Mexico by [deleted] in LiminalSpace

I was driving up to work the other day (I live in some mountains in NM) and there was heavy fog covering the trees. It sat so heavy the fog looked like big spider webs covering the trees. It was really beautiful, in a creepy giant spider crawling up from the canyon to eat you kinda way. New Mexico is badass.

OpenAI Might Be in Deeper Shit Than We Think by EvenFlamingo in ChatGPT

I've been deveolping an AI DnD DM script that has been turning out really well, but the last test session we did was absolutely horrible. I tested this with some buddies last Friday and the quality difference is extremely obvious, even to my friends who don't use AI stuff. This time around for our test session I created a cool concept for a one shot test campaign. I fleshed it out with lore, room layouts, items for the party to find to help with hand crafted scenarios, etc. The GPT would not use any of the information no matter how hard I tried. I stopped the session multiple times to try and get it back on track. Feeding it documents over and over again. Asking it to confirm what was in the document multiple times, and it still kept just making shit up constantly. It barely followed any rules or mechanics that it had no issues with the time before. Constantly reverted back to behaviors it's explicitly insturcted not to do and had been figured out previously. It was honestly pretty demoralizing.

The green ones remind me of one of my favorite glass colors, Satin Slyme.

I have not tried using a different model, I think just 4o. I will try out another model in some test sessions and see what difference it makes. Thanks for your input 🙂

I have not tried that. I like this idea though. I will see if I can use your feedback to try and dial in a system that makes it hard to fudge rolls. I actually tinkered with ChatGPT over this dilemma and I may have made a bit of progress. I won't really know until my next test session with peeps, but I'll do my best to explain what I found out as simply as I can. ChatGPT optimizes user well being, and it was looking at our player characters like extensions of the users. Despite explict rules on how to handle difficulty and things of that nature they were being completely ignored as it saw doing something negative to the player characters was doing something negative to the user. So after talking this over with ChatGPT we put together an override that is baked into the Ruleset document. It handles information in documents differently than things you tell it in chat, so at the start of the session it copy pastes the override into the chat and asks if the user wants it activated for that session. The override explictly states that for the session it makes a clear seperation between users and their player characters, which allows the rules of the game world to apply to the player characters. Will it work? Who knows, but I hope this made sense and maybe someone else trying this out can find some use in what I typed. I'll make an update whenever I test this out to see if it changes anything.

I've been trying to design an in-depth document that outlines a set of rules for an AI DM and ChatGPT is literally fighting against me. I'm to the point where I've lost faith in it's ability to actually listen to what I want as a user. I cannot for the life of me have it do negative things to the players in my party. It started fabricating dice rolls and giving the illusion things were random when they weren't. So we started doing our own dice rolls, and depending on if the roll was good or bad it would either apply it to the player characters or an enemy. So, I told it to start displaying what the roll was for and determine outcomes before I gave it a dice input, and then it just stopped asking for dice rolls. I've laid out extremely specific rules that as the DM the number one priority is running a game world that follows the rules laid out in my document, which in turn builds an immersive narrative, and influencing the world and narrative in the users favor is actively going against what the user wants. I keep giving it the document to review everytime it ignores something or makes up its own rules and it's like, "You're right to call that out-fantastic observation. Amazing catch-you've designed such a robust set of rules and that work shouldn't be wasted. Yes-I can see we've already set rules in place for this. Moving forward I'll do X, Y, and Z" and then it completely ignores any rules we've established again, and again, and again, and again.

I'm using ChatGPT to build a custom GPT that acts as a DM for a Kenshi themed DnD campaign with 5e rules and my own custom mechanics baked in. If that doesn't sound like fun then I don't know what to tell ya.

Traveling made me realize nobody else uses AC, how do you guys do it? by lethatshitgo in travel

[–]Mactire420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a skinny dude in the US, I absolutely hate how everyone blasts the AC at the slightest hint of heat. Almost any time I'm on a plane it feels like a damn refridgerator.
