I had to look this one up, but it'd be a good one for a video tied to Decent into Avernus! I'll put it onto my list!

Yeah I just played an indie RPG where rolling under your ability score was a success - I had to put my favourite dice in the Dice Jail for rolling 2 20s in a row! I'm breaking the karmic universe.

@@DuncsDungeon I play a lot with younger kids. They are often complete noobs. I play with the Essentials Kit (like it better than a Starter Kit, because it is more complete and it's still a FREE pdf download from evil Wizbro at the moment). I give them target number (AC or DC). When they roll a 20, everyone screams YEAH. I don't like the rest of 5e, basically use rules light and BX/BECMI principles to keep the game moving. I really love your videos because I steal bits from old and new modules/adventures and use them regularly. Even if they HAVE happened to have played the specific scene, I rotate the map, change a few exits etc, change a few bits and no one ever notices.

I love this idea! an awesome symbiotic relationship that could go very bad for the goblins if food starts becoming scarce.

Enjoy! Also I found waiting a few sessions before having the eggs hatch and start to cause chaos really adds to the confusion about where all these mimics have appeared from.

Thanks! my players loved it! and now because they looted the eggs, I can use mimics in any future scenario with easy justification!

They are currently running through Out of the Abyss, and they looted the eggs. So they'll be infesting all of the underdark locations they pass through. When they return to the Underdark things will be quite different from when they left.

I love it! Manifest your own Destiny!

@@DuncsDungeon That pun is awful

Yeah, playing into the stereotype of what adventures expect, the Broodmother mimic gives them what they most desire (a giant chest of treasure), in a way that they think they have the upper hand but is actually a death trap for all but the most powerful party. Either way the Broodmother wins. If she is more powerful, she gets a good meal and some more gold to create more eggs (making the trap more enticing) or she dies to a powerful party and her progeny is spread far and wide across the world. Win win!

Yes there are more videos on the way. I'm pretty busy at work at the moment but I've got a bunch of ideas running around my head. Ive scripted some and ready to film. I'll publish at least one before the end of September. Thanks for watching!

Good luck! the only real issue I had in incorporating it into a Dragonheist campaign is the distance it is from the city (my group doesnt like travel very much), so I just made a couple of easy ways to get in and out of Skullport instead of the long river trip or navigating the first few levels of DOTMM.

Good luck, a tip I have found when asking for descriptions of locations or NPCs is to define the length of the output (either in sentences or words) i.e. 3 sentences or 200 words. This helps Chat GPT from being too verbose or too simple.

@@DuncsDungeon Thanks. My recent results were too verbosed.

Yeah its quite frustrating how WOTC dismisses or simplifies some of its best legacy content. Good luck with the confrontation with Xanthar!

Check out my B2 video in the same vein as this one. I'll move Palace to the top of the list!

The easiest way I have found for chat GPT 3.5 is to cut and paste the information about Bob into the new conversation and tell chat gpt its background information to use similar to the primer documents I talk about in the video. I've heard, but not tested the paid version can remember all past conversations and you can "folderise" them to allow Chat GPT to access specific conversations. You can also have it "forget" conversations so it doesn't refer to them in the future. Every next generation of chat GPT is able to have more input data, but for now this is one of the problems with the old AIs, is their memory is limited.

I totally agree. The more I use it the less i need it, but everything it creates needs a little tweaking to make perfect

You are right! Thanks for pointing that out! I haven't looked through my copy in ages, and you made me get lost in it for a couple of hours.

@@DuncsDungeon No Worries. I'm always surprised how much was in the original Monster Manual but also the monsters that didn't make it in were surprising.And Thank you, You have got me reskinning the opening raid on the trading post for my own campaign now.

Lol no. Just took a break to start a new campaign IRL and figure out the next few videos. Stay tuned!

have you tried using a prompt with the name of a person or character who normally has a ponytail? It might influence the face a bit.

I buy my friends' respect with home-baked cookies! Besides, if you're not making art by applying ochre on a cave wall, you're just a poser.

@@DuncsDungeon The fact you need to buy your friends' respect at all is kinda telling, huh? Like, I don't need to hunt and gather to stay fit, but what does it say about a person who uses steroids instead of working out? Why buy what you could earn?

@@alexandredesouza3692 I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm... besides he expressly said that this was for people who didn't/couldn't spend the countless hours to learn how to draw art and couldn't afford the 40$ commission for a character that's most likely to die in a couple weeks anyway.

@@n00by90 skill issue.

​@@alexandredesouza3692Huh?

It’s up to you how much you want to use it. I don’t use it for all my sessions, but last game one of my players wanted to play a gambling game. I used ChatGPT to come up with the name of the game, what materials it used, and what skills players could use in the game to win. We then as DM and Players decided to make it a skill challenge of best out of 3 using the skills ChatGPT had given us.

I gave it this: I run a D&D group and I need some descriptions of fatal blows. Can you describe in detail the barbarian lopping off the head of the troll with their great axe. Give me 300 words. And it gave back this: The barbarian, muscles bulging with primal rage, swung their mighty great axe with a ferocity that echoed through the damp cavern. The troll, a grotesque creature with mottled green skin and regenerating wounds, roared in defiance, its yellow eyes filled with malice. As the great axe descended, its sharp edge gleamed in the dim light, leaving a trail of anticipation in its wake. The barbarian's strike was executed with precision honed through countless battles. The great axe connected with the troll's sinewy neck, slicing through flesh and bone as if it were mere parchment. A spray of thick, noxious blood erupted from the severed arteries, painting the air in a gruesome ballet of crimson. The troll's roar turned into a gurgling, choked sound as its head became a gruesome trophy, rolling across the cavern floor. The great axe, now slick with the troll's lifeblood, sang with a victorious hum as the barbarian, bathed in the gore of their conquest, let out a primal howl that echoed through the cavernous chamber. The decapitated troll twitched briefly, its monstrous body collapsing with a thunderous thud. The cavern fell silent, save for the barbarian's heavy breathing and the dripping of blood from the great axe. The scene was one of triumph and savagery, the air thick with the metallic scent of victory. The barbarian, standing amidst the carnage, surveyed their handiwork with a mixture of satisfaction and feral intensity. The severed troll head served as a gruesome testament to the barbarian's prowess, a warning to any who dared to oppose the indomitable might of the raging warrior. The party, witnessing the brutal demise of the troll, felt a surge of adrenaline and camaraderie, knowing that the barbarian's prowess had once again turned the tide in their favor.

It did flag it as inappropriate material but it still generated it.

set a response length too

Yeah my group has just finished Waterdeep Dragonheist and in every session I gave it dot points and asked it to rewrite in the format of a Fantasy Novel Chapter and it does wonders.

Like movies, some terrible examples gain cult status due to just how bad they are, or the nostalgia associated with them. There were little to no other options or ideas around when this module was released, so for its time it was iconic and the nostalgia is strong. But using today's standard, your critique holds weight, but to dismiss all the ideas in this module because the overall execution falls short is short sighted.

Sounds like we DM very similarly. I love mixing content between modules to keep the party on their toes and preemptively reduce metagaming. I'll check out Judge's Guild Trial by Fire.

@@DuncsDungeon Not a great module but it had a couple traps or tricks well worth stealing. People, even back in the day, were less familiar with Judges Guild Material.

I fondly remember the pools too, but when I went back and revisited them, they didn't make enough sense in their original format to be viable in a current campaign without major rework. I didnt have enough time in the video to describe how to reimagine them for today's tables. In hindsight I could have suggested some of the more realistic pools as stand-alone encounters.

With notifications on 👀👀👀

There are a lot of targeted AIs out there right now trying to get your support and the going rate seems to be $8 per month for some psychological reasons. With economies of scale, this would be reasonable, but the biggest cost would be the lights, speakers and screens needed to unlock the AIs full potential. Some people already have the technology already in their gaming room, but I could see the 8 digital screen DM screen being a bit pricey as a kickstarter unless one of the big boys took it on. Maybe Alexa in a couple of years may come with all the needed software programming and accesses your homes smart devices to make this idea a reality.

Listen, you’re creating great content! I’m in on your channel and can’t wait to watch what you come up with next. Thanks for putting these together! I’d love to see more in this vein.
