I Asked an AI About D&D, Vampire, and Age of Sigmar

I’ve seen a lot of controversies online around AI art lately. One of my favourite blogs actually shut down because of the abuse that the author was receiving about the use of AI art in his free supplements. I understand how problematic AI art is. Whilst it will spit out a unique piece of art, it’s not really an original piece. To form that image, the AI has scraped the internet for artwork that fits your keywords, combining them to create something unique for you. The copyright implications are quite troubling, especially when this is done for commercial gain.

I wondered if there were many AI applications that produced written content. The answer, of course, was yes. I tried a couple of them out and decided to have a wee chat about games. I may also have been bored. Here are the questions I asked and the responses I got.

1. What are the best things about D&D?

Dungeons & Dragons is one of the most popular tabletop role-playing games in the world. And for good reason! D&D is a great way to immerse yourself in a fantasy world, make new friends, and exercise your imagination. Here are some of the best things about D&D:

  1. D&D is a great way to socialize and make new friends. When you play D&D, you’re spending several hours with a group of people, all of whom are working together towards a common goal. This is a great opportunity to get to know people and make new friends.
  2. D&D is a great way to exercise your imagination. In D&D, you create a character and then play out that character’s adventures in a fantasy world. This is a great opportunity to explore different aspects of your personality, and to try out different ways of thinking and acting.
  3. D&D is a great way to relax and When you’re playing D&D, you can forget about your day-to-day worries and just have fun. Whether you’re battling monsters or exploring lost ruins, D&D is a great way to relax and chill out.

2. What games are better than D&D?

D&D may be the most popular tabletop RPG, but it definitely isn’t the only game in town. In fact, there are many other games that offer a more immersive and satisfying experience. One such game is “Pathfinder.” Pathfinder is in fantastical world of swords and sorcery, and offers players a chance to explore exotic locales, battle fearsome creatures, and uncover ancient mysteries. The game features a robust character creation system that allows players to customize their hero to suit their playstyle, and the combat system is fast-paced and tactical. Best of all, the game is constantly being updated with new content, so there’s always something new to see and do. If you’re looking for a more engaging and rewarding RPG experience, Pathfinder is definitely worth checking out.

3. Why should I play Vampire: the Masquerade?

Vampire: the Masquerade is a classic tabletop RPG that offers players a unique and compelling gaming experience. For starters, the setting is rich and detailed, with a complex history and a wide range of interesting characters. What’s more, the game mechanics are designed to support an immersive and dramatic storytelling style. Players take on the role of vampires, struggling to survive and thrive in a dark and dangerous world. number of expansions and spin-offs that allow players to explore different aspects of the setting. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the genre or a curious newcomer, Vampire: the Masquerade is definitely worth checking out.

4. What is the best AoS army?

Age of Sigmar is a game of fantasy battles, pitting armies of brave warriors, monstrous creatures, and powerful wizards against one another in a struggle for supremacy. There are many different armies to choose from, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. So, what is the best Age of Sigmar army?

Well, that depends on what you’re looking for. If you want an army that is fast and agile, then the Sylvaneth might be a good choice. If you’re looking for an army that is heavily armored and can plow through enemy defenses, then the Khorne Bloodbound might be a better option. Ultimately, the best army for you is the one that best suits your playstyle and preferences.

So, take some time to look at the different armies available, and see which one you think you would enjoy playing the most. There is no wrong answer, so choose the army that you think looks the most fun. And, who knows, maybe you’ll discover a new favorite faction in the process!

My Thoughts

Interesting. Let’s work through the questions, shall we?

The first question asked the AI to tell me the best things about Dungeons & Dragons. The response is actually pretty good. It’s probably a better answer than I am normally able to provide to prospective players. Read into that what you will.

The second, well… I’d have accepted almost any modern RPG as being at least the equal of, if not better than D&D, at least in someone’s eyes. Pathfinder seems a bit of a cop-out because it essentially is D&D. The description is decent, though.

The third question provided another really great pitch for a game; this time my beloved Vampire. This time, however, there was a somewhat dodgy sentence thrown into the mix:

This sentence doesn’t work but is the only one in there that doesn’t, and the paragraph is otherwise solid and accurate. This error stands out as in noticing it, I realise how few errors like this that there are at all.

The final question is, again, filled with pretty specific and accurate information. The most convincing thing about this answer is the tone that it takes. It’s pretty conversational, and would perhaps pass quite easily as my own writing with touches such as “well” and “so” at the start of sentences and parenthetical statements placed between a pair of commas. These are definite traits in my writing. The only factual issue I’d point out is that, as an army, the Blades of Khorne are not actually all that well-armoured. Otherwise, this is pretty good.

Grammarly says the AI sounds confident, by the way. You know, for what it’s worth…

I must say, I’m pretty impressed by this on a paragraph-sized basis. It works pretty well. I wonder how it works for longer pieces – though I’d be reluctant to pay to find out.

  1. It’s pretty amazing… I know I’ve quit my career in cgi after using AI and seeing what’s ahead. I banked some “for yesterday” concept stuff that ni way I could have achieved without… Nor the AI without me… But that was like ages ago, one could say.
    On the Vampire “bugged paragraph”… Not sure… Not sure at all. Because as I was reading the “opinion” I kept thinking myself “I didn’t really liked Vampire that much, back then… But was really into the spin-offs, both Werewolf and Changeling. There is that…
