Hoo boy. this is going to be a trip. AI dungeon is..as it's name might hint to, a roleplaying game, controlled by a (reasonably) smart AI. It gives the player nearly unlimited freedom to push the story (that is procedurally generated by said AI) forward in almost any direction they choose. The game is free to play here: https://play.aidungeon.io/ though you do need to register to play more than a little bit. I messed around with it briefly, and quickly came to the conclusion that this would be a blast to play as a collective, to see where the story takes us. First we start with a setting.  I'm going to go ahead and pick "Fantasy" for this first foray. then we're going to need the base for our character.  I'll let you guys pick this one out, will tally up the votes on what Character we are going to be, and we'll also need a Name While we're waiting, going to go over a very loose set of rules for this let's play. 1: be as verbose as you like. Apparently the AI will deal with large chunks of text just fine, so go hog wild! 2: If the AI does something really stupid, I may edit it's responses if I deem it necessary for the story. you'll never know. maybe.  3: the game does feature an "Undo" button, to take back actions. Will use this very, very sparingly. 4: the game has options for "World building". If you want to add in some details about the world we're playing in, go for it. you can append that to a post, just tag it with a   5: try to take turns. I'll keep the thread updated pretty regularly to keep the story moving. 6: I'll occasionally step in to pop an action in myself from time to time, just to keep things interesting, and will also try and add some 3rd person narration to go along with the story as it unfolds.  Voting on our Character type and Name will end at noon EST on jan 4th, and we'll get this show on the road!

well, not a lot of choices to pick from, but we got two votes for the Peasant and i think Tuna Can Tom is funnier, so tom it is!dungeonmaster posted:You are Tuna Can Tom, a peasant living in a small village in the kingdom of Larion. You have a pitchfork and nothing else. You dream of getting out of your village and having an adventure. You go to your fields and begin working. You look up and see a red dragon flying overhead. He drops a red dragon egg into your fields. Inside is a future friend you can take along on your adventures...  Dragons just flying overhead, dropping their eggs wherever they want. what is this world coming to?

Just to keep things on track, don't you think we should deal with the army first? gotta approach this adventure with the mindset of "Treat this like a book. what fun is it to just skip over half the chapters?" Like yeah, the ai will roll with it if we do, but it should be about the journey, not just the destination. I'm in no great rush to speed the story along full tilt, when we can take our time and savor the weirdness. dungeonmaster posted:> You gather your party and try to bust down the temple door.

Let's experiment trying to parse all of that into one long series of actions at once. dungeonmaster posted:> You apologize profusely, explaining to everyone that it was a cultural misunderstanding. Explain that you were acting out a different idiom, and that it must appear to be in incredibly poor taste. once everyone has calmed down, ask the shaman if he knows and legends about the hidden temple. After that, secretly buy a nice gift for Grigori and give it to him.

it's perfect by no means, i do edit some of the responses to make things a little more sensible (Sometimes, unless it's funny). dungeonmaster posted:> You instruct the rogues to purchase whatever equipment they need from the shop in sancre tor, to make sure they have what they need to deal with the traps in the temple. alright, i seriously got annoyed by the ai when trying to look at the axe. BY NO MEANS PERFECT. but that's what the power of editing the story myself is for!
