Ive heard of dnd players playing solo but like how does that work compared to with a party? i dont really have anyone to play with and i dont really like online games of dnd, but for real how do you play solo becasue it looks hard but also interesting.

another dumb question but do player sell there dnd notes, is that a real thing becasue ive wonderd if dnd players actually do that or if its just a joke.

as you can tell ive only played dnd a few times and that was with a few horrible partys or ones that just gave up after one session, so im kinda a noob and i love player the most crazy classes or a wizard/magic user. also wher eis a good place to find free custom rpg content for games such as dnd?

    It um, kind of can! It took a bit of effort, but I got it to come up with a character and roleplay it, and then Lyra Moonshadow and I went on an adventure together!

        I first asked it to create a d&d character and make all the choices for it. Then to roleplay that character. And then it took a whole bunch of corrections to do what I wanted, it started off

        • telling the entire story (leaving very little room for input from me)
        • speaking in third person
        • speaking like

        Lyra: “Let’s go on an adventure!”

        instead of

        Let’s go on an adventure!

        • then it actually started filling in my side of the dialogue too(?)
        • it (in character!) initially refused to go on an adventure with me 🤣 it literally said “I have no interest in accompanying you on a foolhardy quest for a trinket that will likely bring nothing but trouble.”
        • but once I promised Lyra treasure, she came along.

        And from there on it was reasonably smooth sailing, with occasionally me asking something new, like

        • can you roll dice to determine the outcome of our actions?
        • can you add the relevant modifiers to the dice rolls?
        • can we take turns in combat describing what we do?
        • can you roll on the random encounter table to see if something happens while we rest?

        Mostly, it surprised me with how easy it was. Most of the effort was in getting it to present its side as I wanted. Most of that I did with corrections like “No, I don’t want you to fill in my side of the conversation. Only describe what you’re saying.”

        It’s a fun toy.
