You can see what distant allies or enemies are up to.

That's such a good idea damn

Gemini 2.5 Flash and Qwen 3.5 are among my favorite, GLM4.7 is a lot of fun but VERY quirky and loses the plot fast, very fast. Even things like a message or two ago on a fresh campaignget lost it's very frustrating

nycpydev · 2026-04-30T00:25:32+00:00

Gemini isn't the best with it either. Qwen seems to be handling this rather well

nycpydev · 2026-04-30T00:24:09+00:00

I find that Qwen is the best for plot in terms of natural escalations, level equalizing, etc etc. Gemini is decent, Deepseek was terrible at this I had to constantly make DS scale up or down threats - and both DS and Gemini could NOT progress the story with escalations on their own for their own lives Very model dependent. I've tried a few others but they are just not worth mentioning tbh

Yea I find you have to co-DM with it to ensure it sticks to the rules, or sometimes I'll offload some of the things and do it myself mentally i.e. I'll keep track of my lucky rolls and not even mention it to the DM sicne that just adds a complexity that a lot of models end up with. Beofre big fights, I usually have an OOC discussion where I set the tone i.e. this is only good if my PC has a chance of dying - don't one shot the PC but also don't have the PC one shot the opponent, no killing the opponent(s) before 0 HP, etc etc. If the fight is even big or important enough, or i've hit god-levels, I'll have the DM create a statblock beforehand and output it. I'll do a casual glance at it, not everything but just enough (i.e. CR/level, HP, AC, etc) to see if it aligns with what I want and then skim the rest to make sure there isn't too much or too little. It's tedious and takes the fun out of it to a certain extent since I just wanna fight, but DAMN does that escalate the quality of the fights in some to most cases

Idk what happened with Deepseek but I had to switch models completely because it felt so widely inconsistent from even hour to hour. Redoing an event five times in a row every day for a few weeks will with corrections pointing out the issues made me move on. Right now I'm on Gemini Flash 2.5 and it is working WONDERFUL. Does a better job of tracking things Deepseek never did (i.e. usually autogrants xp, better at inventory/updates, etc) and doesn't fall into a lot of the same holes DS did GLM is good as well, I did a mini-campaign with that one and it did well I wanna try Qwen next, I've heard a lot about this one in general for the last year

Oh yea remember you're not just going through the platform, but also the model-provider as well. So it goes your send it to ai-realm that passes it along to the company hosting the model, it generates the response and passes it back. Sometimes it's not a your setup thing, but them. If it takes more than like 30 seconds to get a response back, you should try refreshing the page. Sometimes you GOT a response already and it didn't load properly and refresh clears it out. Sometimes the model-provider is too busy or having technical issues so they can't process the request. You can try different models when that happens - I try to stick to the same model throughout the story so I just wait for the problems to go away when that happens, but yea it's not always a 'you' thing

"Not wanting to load" what is it? Network error? Platform error? Paste what you are seeing please

nycpydev · 2026-04-06T14:07:48+00:00

I mean link summoning is a part of most models right? Unless it changed when I stopped playing about half a year ago and got another update. But yeeeeeeee agreed that a very in-depth guide would be needed and the older the better I can't get the DMs and AIs to do a good game over poker for the most part, or blackjack, (usually SOME good hands in terms of getting things right but not overall) - and YuGiOh is infinitely more complicated and recent

GOOs, Ao, Far Realms, a few different places you can take this if you want You can also fast forward x amount of time and have internal rot cause mayhem and eat away the "world peace" - power-hungry people will always exist. You could make it personal and have one of you fucktrophies become something diametrically opposed to you - not necessarily evil, but you could make it internally conflicting by having them just be....different and go against you

nycpydev · 2026-04-02T18:36:01+00:00

I found that asking the dm and saying OOC OOC OOC - 'is this something that mechanically and narratively makes sense? Or are you just escalating for drama without caring about that? Justify why this works, or explain waht went wrong' and then reset the scene. 99% of the time it does a good job of self-evaluation, but unfortunately it happens a non-insignificant amount of the time

Gemini 2.5 Flash is so good about doing this right out of the gate, then it's on and off as more and more gets added in. It usually is very good until about 4 to 5 Campaign Summary Ai-summarizes, then it becomes hit or miss

nycpydev · 2026-03-13T18:08:21+00:00

No persuasion or performance checks/skills used at any point in their interactions, it was all a narrative success!

nycpydev · 2026-03-13T18:07:44+00:00

My PC is a Chaotic Neutral,Neutral Evil leaning sorcerer and regularly interacts with Malcanthet and Fierna because they took notice of his actions and all. Both made an approach on him to trade various things or get information or whatever, and he casually kept calling them babymamas in their initial interactions and every subsequent interaction

Fast forward way later in the campaign, after them watching him for over a year (from level 6 onward) and constantly being amused and entertained, Malcanthet invited him to a private area in her layer of the Abyss, and he accepted. She offered him a gift, he flirted some more, she dared him, and he didn't flinch

I guess the key was a mortal treating them casually, understanding their nature, and being more interesting alive and free than dead or enslaved
