Creating characters for a Dungeons & Dragons game can be an intimidating part of the game-prep process. It doesn’t have to be, though. Utilizing AI tools such as DALL-E and ChatGPT from OpenAI can quickly and easily create a character that’s both satisfying to craft and ready for your next adventure.
ChatGPT is trained on a large amount of data and can understand both the context of a conversation and can simulate creativity when creating a character. With this, you can search for relevant information about the game’s story and background as well as create a character background and backstory to incorporate into the game. Additionally, you can also create detailed descriptions of the character’s look and traits with ChatGPT.
DALL-E 2 is an AI tool from OpenAI that enables you to create images in the form of digital art. Using ChatGPT to form a description of your character, you can generate digital art of the character. This can be further fine-tuned by specifying a style such as anime or comic-book or by giving a ‘portrait’ prompt, allowing less room for the AI to “make mistakes”. Once your character has been created and refined via the AI tools, you can utilise the results for your adventure, NPC’s, encounters, and more.
OpenAI is a research laboratory taking on the challenge of creating human-level artificial intelligence. Founded by a group of engineers and researchers from leading institutions such as Stanford, Berkeley, OpenAI focuses on developing safe AI, while also making AI accessible to everyone. With more and more tools to help you build characters for your Dungeons & Dragons game, OpenAI continues to help make gaming more enjoyable and accessible.
