Short version, like many players, ChatGPT face challenges in looking at OD&D without bringing baggage from later edition.

Yeah, like I said, might need to do all the rolls yourself and just let the AI make the decisions and do role playing.

Has anyone been messing with the AI image creation?

I did a little bit when it first showed up, but I liked it better when the results were a lot more abstract and a lot less thiefly.

I found out that CrAIyon was really good at making weird variations of Fonzie from Happy Days.

I've messed around with it, but never for an actual game. Here's an example:

Welcome adventurer! I have created a 10 room dungeon based around the grammarian Galbungus for you to explore. Be careful, as danger awaits around every corner!

The Entrance: As you enter the dungeon, you find yourself in a large, dimly lit chamber. The air is thick with dust and the walls are covered in ancient text. In front of you is a locked door with a riddle etched into it. The riddle reads, "I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?" The answer is "the letter e."

The Antechamber: Beyond the door, you find yourself in a small antechamber. The room is filled with bookshelves, and a single desk stands in the center. On the desk, there is a book with the words "Grammarian's Handbook" etched onto the cover. However, as soon as you touch the book, the room begins to shake, and the bookshelf on the far wall slides away to reveal a hidden passage.

The Library: You enter a massive library, filled with row upon row of ancient tomes. As you walk down the aisles, you notice that some of the books are glowing faintly. If you choose the wrong book, a trap will be activated, so you must use your grammar skills to identify which books are safe to touch. The safe books contain clues to help you progress through the dungeon.

The Classroom: In this room, you find an old, dusty chalkboard with a series of sentences written on it. Some of the sentences contain grammatical errors, and you must correct them to open the door leading to the next room.

The Hall of Puzzles: As you walk down this long, winding hallway, you come across a series of puzzles that test your knowledge of grammar and syntax. Some of the puzzles involve rearranging words to form coherent sentences, while others require you to identify misplaced modifiers or subject-verb agreement errors.

The Room of Tenses: In this room, you must navigate a series of obstacles that correspond to different tenses. For example, you may need to jump over present participles or avoid future perfect verbs. If you fail to avoid the obstacles, you will be sent back to the beginning of the room.

The Colosseum: As you enter this room, you are confronted by a group of grammarian gladiators who challenge you to a battle of wits. You must answer a series of difficult grammar questions correctly to defeat them and progress to the next room.

The Chamber of Homophones: In this room, you must use your knowledge of homophones (words that sound the same but have different meanings) to navigate a series of traps. For example, you may need to choose between "there" and "their" to open a door or avoid falling into a pit.

The Hall of Infinitives: In this room, you must navigate a maze of infinitives. If you touch an infinitive, you will be teleported back to the beginning of the maze. However, if you can make it to the end, you will be rewarded with a powerful grammarian artifact.

The Final Confrontation: In the final room, you come face to face with Galbungus himself. He challenges you to a battle of grammar, and you must use all of the knowledge and skills you have gained throughout the dungeon to defeat him. If you can prove yourself worthy, Galbungus will reward you with his greatest treasure: the Grammarian's Crown, which grants the wearer incredible linguistic powers.

Edit: It won't create a dungeon with many rooms at once, and it can't actually interconnect rooms. I've also noticed that it always organizes a dungeon to lead up to a 'Boss Battle,' without fail. I'm not sure exactly where this is coming from. 

Some other types of prompts I've tried that have worked really well are populating random table, for instance something like "create a 1d20 table of magical fungi,' etc.

[plethon]

Ok, this one was pretty cool,

8. Icebound Husky: Thriving in cold environments, they can help adventurers navigate through icy chambers or freezing traps.
9. Mimic Mutt: Trained to detect mimicry, these dogs can sniff out disguised traps or creatures within the dungeon.
10. Guardian Mastiff: Large and imposing, these dogs serve as formidable protectors, capable of fending off smaller dungeon denizens.
11. Swift Sighthound: Renowned for their speed and agility, they excel at chasing down fleeing foes or retrieving items quickly.
12. Gloomhound: Adapted to low-light environments, they have superior night vision, aiding in exploration during the darkest hours.
13. Toxic Tracker: Immune to poisons and toxins, these dogs can lead adventurers safely through areas riddled with dangerous substances.

16. Scenthound Sentinel: With an incredibly acute sense of smell, they can track down hidden enemies or lost items within the dungeon.
17. Webweaver Whippet: Skilled at navigating through webs and sticky traps, they can clear paths for the party with ease.
18. Phantasm Pup: Possessing the ability to see into the ethereal plane, they can detect invisible creatures or illusions lurking within the dungeon.
19. Vault Vizsla: Trained to detect hidden compartments and secret doors, they excel at uncovering concealed treasures.
20. Celestial Shepherd: Blessed with divine protection, these dogs can ward off evil spirits or undead creatures encountered in the dungeon.

Ok, now create a one paragraph description for the sheriff of the hamlet, and connect him to 3 of the NPCs

ChatGPT:

Plethon:
Who is Sherriff Garrick wary of in the village?

ChatGPT:
Sheriff Garrick is wary of Mysterious Stranger Selene in the village. Her sudden arrival under the cover of night and her secretive nature stir suspicions and rumors among the villagers. While Garrick respects the privacy of individuals, he can't help but feel uneasy about Selene's mysterious presence and the potential implications it may have for the safety and security of the hamlet. He keeps a close eye on her activities, subtly monitoring her movements to ensure that she poses no threat to the peace and stability of the community.

Sorry to keep multiposting, but there's one other neat trick you can use ChatGPT for: coming up with a riddle for a specific answer. For instance, you could ask ChatGTP to "Please create a whimsical riddle with the answer of [X]" where X is what you want the solution to be.
