ChatGPT has been a lifeline for me as a GM with little spare time to prep and far too grand ambitions for the scale and scope of (D&D) campaign I want to run. I’m curious how other GMs have found ChatGPT and similar AI tools useful or helpful in running their own games. I’ll share my own workflow below as a comment, and I hope others find it useful. I’m especially interested in any ChatGPT prompts you have found worthwhile, and you can see some of my own prompts in the examples I’ll share shortly.
I moved to using DeepSeek which should have a much better energy efficiency compared to ChatGPT with same maybe even better results.
Pretty much the only things I use LLMs with ttrpgs is when I want to customize something I have an example of.
For example when I find a some kind of random table that has great format or style I like but doesn’t fit the area I would yo use it on I give it to LLM to produce similar but something that is more fitted to my need.
Edit: the other way I use LLMs is to translate texts as we don’t play in English.
