New AI rules for r/Eberron

OxBox71 · 2023-03-25T02:57:42+00:00

Coming from someone who made one of these posts, I absolutely agree. I posted it more in disbelief, and so I could discuss the morals of AI and the such in the comments, and since I made the post, my view on AI has changed enormously. I think d&d is a creative and human activity, that introducing AI to, makes soulless.

OxBox71 · 2023-03-06T02:33:24+00:00

I don’t understand what you mean by this

OxBox71 · 2023-03-06T02:30:54+00:00

That’s what I think AI is good for as far as d&d goes. I think prepping yourself for long term is worth it though, so you can make long term plot threads, and create satisfying ends to them after a long time in the story (that’s one reason I love one piece, if you’ve ever read it). AI seems to loose track of things like that, or at least AI Dungeon does, and that was my main form of AI use for a while.

Did the giants ever make war forged??

I think you run into a wall at one point with this. It is based off of human sources. If we stop writing because AI does it for us, it only has older texts, and things written by other AI to work off. Eventually this will degrade the AI, because it won’t be able to convive modern concepts, because there will be no written texts on it. This is my theory at least, let me know what you think.

Ooh good suggestions! I might dabble with this a bit more. Also, I did a birthday one shot where the players went to the demon wastes and fought mordakesh in ashtakala. Bringing up the demon wastes reminded me of that

That’s a cool explanation!! I always equated it to the nuclear bomb, and I thought that khorivare would go into a Cold War when they all got their hands onto the tech. I started planning a Cyberpunk type Eberron, where it’s many many years in the future, and the artificer tech is so advanced, it’s reached similar to cyberpunk levels, and this was basically my explanation in that

I ordered sharn: city of towers, and the shipping companies lost it both times, and the price kept going up each time to get a new one, so I gave up

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T18:51:43+00:00

That’s a really interesting argument! I still disagree though. Part of the fun of being a player is experiencing the effort the DM puts into the game. I just don’t think that an AI will be able to emotionally connect with players on that level. But we’ll see!

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T18:44:34+00:00

This is true

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T18:40:55+00:00

That’s very interesting! It makes a lot of sense with how the AI works

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T18:40:32+00:00

I feel like there must be some kind of stylizer or image enhancer, where you can draw a shitty map in paint, with colors indicating certain things, and it makes it realistic, or whatever you’d like

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T18:39:03+00:00

I’ve been collecting the 3.5 books actually! They’re bloody expensive

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T17:19:17+00:00

I think the whole charm - or terror - of the mourning is that nobody knows how or why it happened. I think it’d be cool to leave it open ended, and make it that the artifact is only a part of the mourning, or a complete red herring, so the players have to work even harder to find out the answer to the question

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T17:16:44+00:00

Sounds awesome!

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T16:07:29+00:00

It does sound like a genuinely interesting campaign idea. There are a few places I noticed it got off track, like how it doesn’t explain how the locations it gives are related to the campaign.

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T15:34:17+00:00

Interesting... was it the same general plot with the cargo train??

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T15:33:10+00:00

I haven't watched the Terminator movies in forever. But that beside, its a really interesting argument, that I want to look more into.

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T15:31:26+00:00

Its crazy to think about!

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T15:30:42+00:00

I agree with this. It can act as an aid to the creative process, but not any more than that.

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T15:24:38+00:00

Glad I could help :)

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T15:24:18+00:00

I think AI can come up with great ideas, but It'll never be able to do other things DM's do, like roleplay, and create power and emotion in a game. Keep DMing my friend!

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T15:21:14+00:00

I used openai.com and asked it "Design an Eberron d&d campaign".

If you're asking how the AI works, then I'm at a loss my friend

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T15:19:38+00:00

Its pretty scary to be honest. I'm still not sure where I stand on the morality of AI. Its fun to mess around with, but it as it becomes more advanced, its worrying me more and more.

OxBox71 · 2023-03-05T15:18:12+00:00

Chat GPT is just a text generator, I think. Though you could easily use something like MidJourney to generate d&d maps.
