Introduction
In the realm of role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons, the Game Master (GM) has always been the cornerstone, guiding narratives, shaping worlds, and bringing characters to life. But with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), like ChatGPT, Midjourney and Dalle, the role of the GM is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Let's explore 15 ways AI has revolutionized this pivotal role.
AI is making easier and easier for GMs to create fun, compelling and complete campaigns from the first encounter to the last.
