I dont have the time to play abandoned realms much these days, and ive been wanting to play dungeons and dragons, so I have been attempting to get aChatGPT (free) to DM for me. I used an I initial prompt I found on reddit or some shit to start off and have tweaked it through gameplay. Its nowhere near perfect and I have to remind it sometimes of what has happened and leveling up and ither things but for the most part works awesome. I took the idea of using AR as a ttrpg world from a heavily homebrewed game I DMed in basic training and it was cool af. I havent posted this anywhere else and only planned on using it for myself, but for those who like me dont have the time to commit, I thought I would try to create something we can use. All credit for world creation goes to Abandonedrealms.com and staff.
All of this is presented terminal style.
So far its solo, but I have seen that people have tried META AI from FB messenger to run group things and think this could work. Before I did anything I copy/pasted the full ASCII map and it can tell me where Im at in relation to pretty much any area. Im also currently working on getting it to understand the mobs from AR that would be there and actual recommended levels for each area.
All of this is presented terminal style.

-------------------------
CORE COMBAT SYSTEM

This is amazing. I haven't tried it yet, but just seeing the full scope of the work put into this is super impressive!
As somewhat of an anomaly in MUDs, I'm not exactly tech savvy. Do you just copy and paste this into chatgpt?

You'd need memory for this though, once the context window is gone its game over.
I was going to make a single-player D&D game with AI DM but unsure if there's enough audience for it.

Ive had a little bit of trouble with the memory so far but I think its just a pay wall thing. I'm not too sure. But yeah. Copy/paste should work.
Ive had some success using Grok but idk how far that will go. Another update:
