The main problem with doing this on chatgpt is that it is _relentlessly_ cheerful and it's almost impossible for it to produce any kind of interpersonal drama or threat or danger.

I tried to get it to run space opera about a diplomatic mission to a newly recontacted planet, full of Game of Thrones-style intrigue and plotting and scheming, and it was like playing with a cheerily optimistic new UN intern that completely believes in the power of compromise and diplomacy to solve all problems.

It was always like: "And so the two of you hashed out your differences over a glass of Dubranian Forblik, and peace reigned forever and ever after."

That's true of how it does role playing games and any kind of fiction at all -- it always wants to tie a neat bow on it at the end of every few paragraphs with a moral and everything.

You also have to ask it to use python to dice roll for anything you want to potentially fail on, or it will always make everything you do succeed wonderfully.

I will say this -- the advanced audio mode for D&D is amazing and it really does act out the characters and it will occasionally slip into different voices or even add sound effects, even though it's not "allowed" to. It will also sometimes copy your voice and act out what it thinks you should do instead of letting you talk, though.
