    > Find people that want to play, there’s more than you can think. Something I learned a long time ago is it's easier to find people who want to play D&D (or whatever game) and make friends with them than it is to make your friends play D&D. There's probably a nicer way to put this, but frankly most people are a fucking mess. And who can blame them? This is a capitalist hellscape. But that means if you're semi randomly selecting people, you're going to get a lot of people who are barely holding on, and won't make fantasy elf time a priority.. Some of them might sincerely want to play, and overestimate their energy levels. Other people are terrified of confrontation, and will say yes even when they absolutely do not want to do that. But if you go the other way around, and find folks that seem friendly at a meetup or whatever for RPGs, they're more likely to show up. They already put in effort and showed up somewhere.

      Now that is an interesting idea. Don't know if you're joking, but has anyone tried using an LLM as a TTRPG character or DM?

      I actually have with ChatGPT, it’s the DM and playing for 6 other characters in the party. So far it’s working fine. But, the hate for AI is ridiculous though, downvotes for even using it.

          try the solo adventurer's toolkit instead, it's so much better than trying to get an LLM to stay coherent enough to run a D&D game

            I have played dnd exactly one time. It was a one shot that we never finished. This meme is my experience if you changed “quadrillion years” to “one more time”

              With the meetup app you might also find someone organizing board game or ttrpg sessions. Best luck!!

                I feel like at some point a nigh-eternal TTRPG campaign would Ship of Theseus itself into an entirely new medium.

                  Do what you want, there’s so many people who just downvote seeing, _AI_. If you wanna play before bed, on the train, or in the bathroom using it, it’s all cool.

                    Tbh, try a good PC RPG game. They are the single-player evolution of TTRPG.
