Dr. Michael has given the AI (Artificial Intellegence) the exact same prompt for a Solo adventure as he did in “The Enchanted Grove”

https://dungeonsandtoast.com/story/the-enchanted-groves-conundrum/

in an attempt to see how creative and varied Chat-GPT’s response would be. The results were amazingly different. While “The Enchanted Grove” was a simple solo adventure, this story “Shadow of the Whispering Grove”

https://dungeonsandtoast.com/story/the-shadow-of-the-whispering-grove/ is a cooperative story, in which the AI sometimes speaks and makes decisions for him. Also of note is that the AI generated such rich descriptions that it essentially did all of the work to generate the illustrations, itself.

In his latest Artificial Intellegence (AI) experiment, Dr. Michael asks the AI to serve as a Game Master for a solo adventure. The result is an original game where Harvey has to face evil, understand, and conquer it. Is he up to the challange?

Is the AI up the task? We will find out in “The Enchanted Grove’s Conundrum” https://dungeonsandtoast.com/story/the-enchanted-groves-conundrum

Evil will rise, but so do the forces of good. Who will triumph? When the Big Bad Wolf and his gang prepare for even more terror on the poor pigs, will the pigs have learned enough to defend themselves? Find out in the latest Episode of Dr. Michael’s experiment in AI generated storytelling. https://dungeonsandtoast.com/story/the-wolf-pack-meets-its-match/

Hello all! I would like to announce a service that has opened up for my term as VPPR. Starting today, if you have a speech that you would like a custom background for, I can make you a background based on your creative vision. Simply fill out a custom background request!

Requests must be made at least 48 hours in advance; any later and I’m unsure if I can get to your background. I can’t wait to see what ideas all of you have, and here’s to some fun collaborations to bring your speeches to life!

As the forces of Lucifera march, a small village of farmers prepare to repell them. Another story in Dr. Alexander’s AI assisted blog. https://dungeonsandtoast.com/story/the-rabbits-stand-against-the-darkness/

Dungeons & Toast celebrated International Cosplay Day on Friday, September 11. Members competed in a contest to determine best Harengon character costume. Congratulations to Mistress of Coin Kelly S for coming in first place with her hand-sewn Maj costume, earning $25 Amazon credit to be used toward further costume improvements!

Thanks to all members who participated in the contest!

As part of the celebration, member Loni H shared about the process she uses to create detailed, recurring characters for cosplay.

This week (9/8) Dr. Michael gave the story of Two Tone a Pint-Sized Hero. The story was the first part of his “blog” on AI assisted writing and gaming. The AI version of the story is now available at Two Tone – A Pint-Sized Hero.

Dr. Michael will also be hosting a discussion of the experiment in Discord in the #blog channel on Discord. People are invited to offer comments (pro and con, this is about all of us learning what does and does not work for each of us), suggestions, and even requests (requests may include stories involving your own characters or non-player characters, alone or in conjunction with others).

The plan is to release two stories Saturday and Wednesday for four weeks.
