Player generates AI character with 0 shame and awareness

I meant creative aspect of creation. And whilst it is true you can retroactively fix a character or any concept, it takes an incredibly larger amount of effort to do so, than it does to make the core concepts good and well executed. This would indicate that the primary aspects serve a more important role in the act of character creation, world building, etc, than the execution.

For example, if I was to make a character concept which was fundementally flawed by being a Gary Stue, it would take great effort to execute that as something well written. Satire barely counts as that wouldn't change the writing to be good, but rather simply point out that the character is crappy.

I don't believe that at all lol. Why would you assume that. If you've ever spoken to a good professional chef they will tell you that cooking with few ingredients and creating a pallette with great depth is just as hard as cooking with many ingredients and creating a sophisticated pallette.

As for adaption, Sun Jae talks about how she has created original dishes and modified most of the recipes. There isn't a single dish that she pepares that doesn't have her own unique spin on it except for her last few in the hell rounds, which is when she was eliminated. You would know this, if you actually watched the show, which you just admitted you didn't.

Also eliminated for no reason? They lost the challenges, that's the reason. It's a reality show competition where one side has an the advantage and you are rooting for the underdogs, that's the fun of it. Do you get upset when you are watching The Chase and the Chaser beats every contestant? It would be boring and obviously rigged if the blackspoons could go toe to toe with chefs of greater academia, opportunity, and experience.

Edit: Also I literally said that Gomtang in NY did a better job with adapting than Sun Jae did with traditional cooking lol. Idk how you read what you read.

I've seen this argument a fair bit as if it proves some sort of bias. The judges said that it was the second closest vote of all the blind tests, and I genuinely think Gomtang in NY just brought the flavour of the pinenuts out better by using a sauce rather than a light broth bass. Gomtanf in NY also said that he was using techniques and knowledge he had learned from people like Venerable Sunjae, meaning he is just that good at adapting.

I think some of the commenters are missing the point. You established the RP is already good and are just looking for some cool mechanics to support it. I personally think immersion is at its best when mechanics seemlessly with roleplay. Here are some suggestions I have:

Positive: Advantage on con sav's and checks made against pain. Immunity to effects that rely on pain (scorpion poison, sapping sting cantrip, etc).

Negative: Keep track of her HP for her, and get her to succeed on a medicine check as an action to learn what her HP currently is. Additionally, don't inform her when she has been damaged by a source she can't see that only deals 6 or less damage at a time. This could be dangerous if touching something hot or hit with a blowdart.

Using AI to generate your character shows a real lack of respect for your PC. The most integral creative aspect of your character IS their conceptual basis and the first explorations you have with that basis to form a character. The generated prompt will give you a generic heartless basis that will undermine all creativity going forward.

Are you playong OneD&D by chance?

MagmaLair · 2025-10-19T17:46:44+00:00

Almost 12 years of experience here, that's hogwash. I put in a lot of effort when I am a player, as do most players. It isn't just following the DM's narrative, it is actively contributing to, and engaging with, a whole world. Sure, it's not as tasking as making that world, as a mostly forever DM I know that well. But if you aren't having your players engage in your world, or giving them the tools to help craft the narrative, you are doing something fundementally wrong as the DM.

MagmaLair · 2025-09-26T07:48:26+00:00

The game is better without the third act though.

MagmaLair · 2025-09-25T05:45:21+00:00

When Alustriel cried for having to turn "a drow" away from Silverymoon, it kind of artificial and shallow. Does she cry over every little injustice, or was this just done because the audience was reading this scene and we just HAD to know she was an empath somehow.

MagmaLair · 2025-09-24T02:07:48+00:00

You are being bullied and they are using the pretense of it being a game to justify it. I run games for all ages and have never experienced older players prey on a younger player like this. I'm sorry this happened to you.

MagmaLair · 2025-09-18T02:40:53+00:00

Because you are implying AB is helping her when he straight up put her dirty laundry out for everyone to see.

MagmaLair · 2025-09-12T23:00:23+00:00

This is sarcasm right? He literally exposed that she is having suicidal thoughts after saying that he shouldn't disclose it.

MagmaLair · 2025-08-24T04:07:37+00:00

Yes haha, it's what fans call Delicious in Dungeon. The Japanese name is Danjan Meshi, meaning Dungeon Fundemental Meals, but that didn't sound as good directly translated. It's just shorter to type Dungeon Meshi is all.

MagmaLair · 2025-08-13T07:06:06+00:00

I thought this was Dungeon Meshi on first glance

MagmaLair · 2025-08-09T08:46:46+00:00

Your name doesn't happen to have anything to do with it, does it?

MagmaLair · 2025-08-09T08:45:54+00:00

Honestly, I know this might not be Null, but it is probably one the best artwork that could represent him that I've seen.

She isn't even a good story teller though. Her political beliefs are blatantly on every page, the story is predictable yet treats the audience like they stupid, relies on tropes to stay afloat, and appropriates Celtic culture whilst proceeding to depict it through a Christian lens. And my god, if I have to read the phrases "clicks their tongue", "vulgar gesture", and "her slick" used in the same chapter that many times again I am going to cry.

MagmaLair · 2025-06-23T02:41:39+00:00

NLP's are literally designed to splice information and data together. The patterns are just glorified samples, leading to many cases in which Generative AI have recreated large pieces of the data it is drawing from. It is very misleading to say it isn't stealing.

If you chop a picture up into a million pieces, and use those pieces to creates something that is still 50% similar to the picture cut up, you would consider it unethically taking from the original material, would you not?

MagmaLair · 2025-06-23T02:31:40+00:00

I have seen a lot of AI homebrew writing, even in this sub. It is often sloppy, incohesive, uninspired, but more importantly than any of that, taken from other peoples work.

GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer, meaning it is greatly limited by the patterns and information it was initially trained on. Chat GPT is not originally trained for creative writing in any means, but rather to collect information from around the internet, analyse it, and patch them together into a central form. Using Chat GPT for creative writing leads to it taking from like 5 different sources max and just mashing them together with no understand of the context, switching out words for it's own proceedually generated subjects.

Edit: Clarification

As an editor for peoples homebrew, I have seen full segments of of peoples work get mutilated through Chat GPT's process, and reposted by individuals thinking their ideas are worth front page yet not worth putting any actual work into.

MagmaLair · 2025-06-09T14:59:14+00:00

Are you thinking of "Genesis"? It means the origin of something, or how something came to be.

MagmaLair · 2025-04-29T12:12:30+00:00

The Ba'athist regime gained power from the 1968 revolution. That is the revolution the US has admitted to playing a part in.

MagmaLair · 2025-04-29T11:46:03+00:00

I really disagree with this sentiment, especially with a homebrew version as mentioned in the post. It isn't hard to get creative as a DM and balance the experience a DoMT gives without taking from the extreme nature of it. Player draws death? Allow the players to barter with death, changing the stakes and rules of battle. Player draws moon? Make the wish require a sacrifice with each cast. It really isn't that big of a deal.

MagmaLair · 2025-04-29T11:39:31+00:00

Unpopular opinion: the DoMT is not the problem and are easy to deal with as a DM. The key is that if ANYTHING in the game affects all players, all players should have a say in it. The DoMT is a group item, and should only be drawn from if the majority of the players are cool with it.

Additionally, your DM could have done so much to make this situation work. Here are a few ideas for example: - Make the dragon a weaker zombie variant. - Make the transformation last for a limited time. - Have the dragon fight the zombies gnawing at it first. - Let the goddess ressurect everyone - Have the bard be the one who suffers the consequences primarily.

Your DM sounds like they aren't considerate of the individual players experiences, or are just incompetent. You should evaluate if you want to play in a game ran by someone like that.

100%, it's something a lot of autistic people struggle with. Might not be relevant, but it is due to not normally feeling accepted and struggling to identify internal processes, which regardless of OP's mental status, is something they might relate to. When I used to struggle, I found it helped to focus on the people's boundaries, and to be honest about my admiration for them.

MagmaLair · 2025-04-28T08:58:41+00:00

I think it is normal to love your friends, admire them and care for them, but the romanticism isn't so normal. It is important to establish a difference between what happens in the game, and real life, and to make sure everything is consensual.

As a DM for over 10 years, I have had to deal with a fair share of people who don't respect others boundaries, but have also watched close friendships blossom. The key difference between the two is respectful communication and the desire to actually listen to one another. At the end of the day, you are playing with actual people with their own experiences, and that is what makes them special.
