Just curious ... how difficult was it to create it all?

Mike,
I went to http://gemini.google.com and in the prompt I typed in the message that I quoted in my OOC post. In about 15-30 seconds the image was generated. I copied it and voila.

There was some tweaking needed to get the image the way that I wanted it and I went through about 4 or 5 iterations to get there.

Well it is clear that 'tech' is leaving me behind <sigh>

For those of us who's talents don't lie in the artistic vein, I greatly appreciate what the tools can do. I recently joined Midjourney at their lowest level because of the gaming I do. Finding it quite useful. I have used Bing AI and Google AI in the past. I am sorry for the way it learns, but I am happy to have the resource for personal use.

Don't be 'unhappy' <G> You use the tools that you have access to help you do whah-cha wanna do <wink>

Some of our FTF players have created character backgrounds using AI

I used Gemini for the mission crew artwork here: https://www.dreamlyrics.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1079771#Post1079771

And I just asked Gemini to do the scene we just left with the hill giant and mudslide.

The "web" is pretty pathetic

And I think that giant has an extra hand....

Impressive!

Uhoh. Does the moderately evil noble scion count as a politician?

Hopefully not each other

Also did the rain suddenly stop between the last two pictures?

This is something I can actually visualize and would hope to see on the big screen some day.

Going on vacation so ghost my character if necessary. I'll be back on April 8.

Sindar isn't inside, but hearing those prices, his eyes are bugging out all the way from the stables to the inside of the inn.

Either I am far too old, and this game doesn't have what I consider reasonable prices, or this guy has jacked things up way freaking high.

It isn't that we can't afford it, it is just "wow".

ooc: Absolutely true. You can react when you rejoin the others shortly. The prices are truly exorbitant. Why? Hmmmm. Pande, PM coming but first give me a history roll. You're +2.

Sindar History
Pandemonium rolled 1d20+4 and got 16

So, I've been using ChatGPT a bit to help me do a bit more DM planning. I just signed up for their paid plan.

It started out telling me what it knew about me...

OMG. Did you ask for more? Your salary, bank account numbers, passwords and genetic information is available I heard

I did have it do some DNA analysis.

You sure tgat is ChatGPT and not a sperm bank?

<grumble> Cheating GMs.

Had to out do me didn't you Nep.

LOL

Nice move Pavel!

You can lead a horse to water (and if I'm the DM it's likely to die) but you can't force them to drink. That's kinda the situation here. The party can decide to do some investigating. I note that you've totally ignored every possible opportunity to engage with the townies or go beyond your delivery task. (who's afraid of ghosts and vampires?)

At this point you need to decide if you're going to stay and investigate or if it's time to split the party into the two groups and move on with the mission.

You get to decide in-character. Go for it.
