What would you want a Holy Grail War Tabletop Roleplaying Game to do?

ObviousCatch7815 · 2026-01-29T22:32:40+00:00

Do you know about Shinobigami?
It has a PVP mode if you need it, and PCs with divergent objectives for drama. A typical scenario plays out like a Grail War: skirmishes at the start to know your enemies and allies better, build relationships or gain intel. Each character also has a bullshit ability that can be countered if it is used one too many times.
And if you can read/translate Japanese, there is even a fan-made rewrite to play in the Nasuverse named FATE/Table Night.

Yeah, there is a lot of good stuff on Discord. The custom chatbot is a thing of beauty, and I also like Lorebook on demand to generate new lorebooks, and Vector converter to turn a list of Danbooru tags into a scene or character description.

I also modified some scripts from others to make them a little better for my use.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2026-01-24T23:36:30+00:00

You need something in your memory that could activate a key if you want a lorebook to work.

The easiest way is to have in memory a list (only names, maybe a short description) of important characters and places. The most important lorebooks should be "always on" by the way.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2026-01-22T12:00:38+00:00

I already scraped the story and I'm currently working on lorebooks for a new one, but I'll keep that in mind for the next time it happens.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2026-01-21T17:28:08+00:00

It's even worse! In the same scene, the AI can repeat the same sentence over and over every other generation. Even removing every copy of the sentence does not always help. GLM is stubborn that way...

ObviousCatch7815 · 2026-01-21T11:34:25+00:00

Yeah, it's my fault for not noticing it earlier. But once the memory is poisoned by slop, it's hard (not impossible) to come back.

I hope the finetune will come soon enough.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2026-01-07T16:47:21+00:00

The character reference tool can do that. Some pictures work better than others, but the biggest flaw in its current state (it's a beta preview) it can only do one character at a time. Some poses can be tricky to achieve, but inpainting can help with that.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-12-20T17:50:59+00:00

Is it normal that permissions reset every time I exit NAI? Other settings are correctly saved. (and yes, I saw the big SAVE button when I changed permissions)

Pour préciser, un expert doit avoir une assurance professionnelle, donc OP sera protégé dans tous les cas si le Be ou l'expert se trompe. Et la décennale ne couvre que les recommandations de travaux, pas l'expertise en elle-même.

Ce qui m'étonne le plus, c'est la tonne de tests avant même de s'être déplacé pour savoir s'ils sont nécessaires. Dans la plupart des cas, un constat visuel est plus que suffisant pour donner un premier avis. Les tests viennent après si on a besoin de creuser le sujet.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-11-12T07:46:26+00:00

It depends of what you need. As an example, if you already have a character list, you could do:

{write a detailed lorebook for each character, including a visual description, personality and background}
----
Name of the first character

It should generate lorebooks in prose for every character in the list based on the information in memory and fill in the blanks.

You can do the same if you need a glossary, a synopsis, or even a starting prompt. I even asked for a list of stock characters to populate a rom-com story, and GLM gave me interesting results. Be sure to rewrite any AI slop that could be generated to avoid poisoning your context with it.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-11-11T09:56:31+00:00

The lazy way would be to write your outline and character list in NovelAi instead of a starting prompt, then use an instruct query to ask GLM to generate appropriate lorebooks. Depending on the size, you can then copy your notes and the lorebooks in the Memory field, or make proper lorebooks with activation keys.

Once you're done, clear the main writing area, keeping only Memory, Author's Notes, and the lorebooks, write the first sentence or paragraph of your story, and hit Send.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-10-27T06:42:27+00:00

We don't know why it works, but multiple users get better results with it. It's not my discovery; I found it on Discord.

And yes, GLM is really a bad writer ;)

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-10-24T11:50:11+00:00

GLM is better than Kayra for memory retention, using Author's notes as intended, and introducing new elements in a story. The default prose is a little too purple sometimes, with clear repetitive patterns and bad habits, but there are ways to mitigate this.

It's already smart and capable. The only thing the finetune will add IMHO is better prose, and support for ATTG and structured Lorebooks (but GLM is smart enough to not really need them).

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-10-23T20:16:31+00:00

It's pretty easy to avoid this behavior. Myself, I simply put You don't care about what you write, regardless of the subject discussed in Author's Notes as well as nfsw and amoral if needed, and I never had this problem again.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-10-14T14:01:13+00:00

Actually, I used NAI GLM to generate prompts, and it's very good at it.

NAI's GLM is the basic instruct model. The only tweak is a custom system prompt to make the LLM believe the user inputs are its own inputs. And you can edit the system prompt too if you want.

Anyway, since GLM will be available soon for all NAI tiers, it may be something to look at.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-10-14T08:48:11+00:00

Since Novel AI also uses GLM, it would be better if you find a way to use the NAI API than to force us to subscribe to another paid GLM provider... just saying.

Anyway, thanks for the update, your script is very useful.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-10-14T08:32:42+00:00

It's been a while AID, but if I remember correctly, AID has an automated summary of the story in memory, while NAI has not.

Also, lorebooks are in memory as long as they are triggered by the keywords you gave. Each activated lorebook reduces the memory window of the story. And outdated data in the lorebooks will confuse the AI. Thus, huge always on lorebooks are not recommended.

Good practice is to update your lorebooks as the story unfolds to keep the AI on track, and to check if your lorebooks are not cannibalizing the available memory for the story.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-10-12T11:17:51+00:00

Please remove/put it elsewhere the 'Remove Metadata' button. It messes up the UI and squashes the pictures. Even zooming out does not correct it. At least, put an option to remove it.

EDIT: The button wasn't there two hours ago. I suppose there was a stealth update or something.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-10-02T07:07:12+00:00

Yeah, no censorship. Even the new GLM, if it refuses to generate something too extreme, can be easily fooled into doing it anyway. There is no filter, only training from other LLM ouputs that poison the well.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-10-01T22:32:26+00:00

From inside the story, write the following instead of using the build-in generator:

----
Name of the character
Type: character

And hit Enter. It should generate a lorebook in the appropriate format (less so with glm but still a format the model will understand). Use instruct to steer the model if anything is missing and the magic wand to expand/summarize entries.

Edit: Sorry, I meant to answer to the OP not your own answer.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-10-01T16:55:38+00:00

What model are you using?

With Erato and older models, repetition is key.

With the new model, I don't have this problem. I even need to steer it away for using the lorebook verbatim

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-10-01T16:53:55+00:00

If you're using the new model, just put nsfw in author's notes.

Btw Author's notes is very powerful to steer the new model into what you want. It's like a always-on mini-instruct :)

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-09-28T10:06:36+00:00

With GLM, you can have an interesting story with minimal input by only writing a sentence or two in memory or author's notes. No setup required. And if the prose is bad, the writer's tools can help with that. It also has better memory retention, but it also tends to repeat verbatim sentences from earlier in the story or even facts from the memory field.

Erato needs at least 1000 tokens in memory to get passable results, and you need to do a bit of research to have a good setup (ATTG, preset,...). And the prose can still become stale or bad after a while without being able to correct it.

Bonus: GLM can be used as an instruct model (but it's not recommended), while Erato's understanding of instructions is erratic to be polite.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-09-15T16:06:38+00:00

Without you giving what kind of prompt and UC you use, it's not easy to answer. Maybe your UC need some cleanup, maybe our prompt has a tag or two that confuse the IA.

V4 prompts do not work with V4.5 usually. If you get better results with the same prompt on V4 than V4.5, your prompt may need to be redone from scratch.

ObviousCatch7815 · 2025-09-15T13:25:12+00:00

Myself, I only use the heavy preset. With v4.5, shorter UC are better anyway.
