If I was hard up for adventure materials I might take the shortcut. But that's why I have all you guys... :D

This part right here.

Let AI do my day job so I can do stuff I actually enjoy.

It is perfectly fair for the editing team to restrict submissions for publication to human-generated content. The robots should work for us, not the other way around, right? :)

However, it is pretty clear that AIs like ChatGPT are here to stay and I do think they have a role to play in RPGs. Everyone has their own interests in gaming, but I actually like to *play* and anything that can reduce the amount of prep time is interesting to me. Especially if it eliminates drudge work like room stocking or treasure hoard generation.

Maybe the Mysterious Island thread isn't the right place for this discussion, but I'd like to know more about how Rutibex used the prompts above to generate his text.

Feel free to start a new thread for such topic.
I think its a tool (and it depends on its user how much they want to use as a base or as a final product), it should be used in specific conditions, a Contest against non AI users is not a condition for use, but as a standalone think, sure, but I would really prefer is such AI used is credited so people have the choice of using or ignoring.

Sure, I'd love to make another thread about using AI tools for DMing! I'll put it togeather when I'm home and in front of my computer.

Here's my entry.
I've been wanting to do a mini-setting with placed encounters for each hex, so that's what I did for the island.

This is really cool, I love the story of this island! Mind control tadpoles run amok ahaha.

One thing though, I would think about renaming the Gypsy Dryad. Some people are really sensitive about that particular word.

I love it! I was hoping someone would do an Island of Doctor Moreau, it feels like the right kind of island for D&D.
