Earlier this summer, I got access to the GPT-3 API from OpenAI. I’ve used it to continue my work on creating RPG content. Here’s my story of creating a D&D Backstory Generator and more, including a magic item generator that’s super easy to use.
Dungeons & Dragons has been a part of my life in one way or another for decades now. In my younger days, I would DM or player in someone else’s campaign. Back then, before the Internet, finding other players was difficult, so gamers tended to band together. Being a bit of weirdo myself, it was nice to find similar people, an inclusive group. Fast forward decades, and I’m still interacting with Dungeons & Dragons.
More than one reader has said my Tower of Gates LitRPG series has a heavy old school D&D feel to it. And now, I’m using the world’s most powerful language model to produce RPG content suitable for D&D tabletop campaigns. Enter LitRPG Adventures Workshop, my current fascination. Earlier this year, I began my journey, using a fine-tuned GPT-2 model to create DnD character backstories – a lot of them.
As soon as I got access to GPT-3, I started creating even better output without fine-tuning. I want to eventually fine-tune GPT-3 with content generated by LitRPG Adventures, but I need to reach a critical mass with that website, making enough to at least pay the fees for OpenAI’s GPT-3 API.
Running on a billion dollar super-computer in the cloud, it’s a massive undertaking that wouldn’t be achievable on my own. Thanks to OpenAI, a solitary LitRPG author such as myself is able to experiment and play with the world’s most powerful language model.

Eventually, I hope to be able to finish my 2D text-based MMORPG powered by GPT-3 AI… I’ve got some ideas that might make the game unique beyond the fact it’s powered by a state of the art language model… LitRPG Adventures Workshop, the DnD character backstory I’ve created that’s powered by GPT-3 is now live. It’s an online tool that generates a detailed backstory for your fantasy RPG character.
I’ve been working on this tool for a while now. It started as a fun little side project but I ran into a few major issues along the way. I was using an out-of-date version of my own game engine, I was trying to create a generator that would be able to create a backstory for a character created in any role-playing game, and I also wanted to support several different fantasy settings.
After working with GPT-2 for many hours, I was impressed by the capabilities of GPT-3 when it came to creating unique and original RPG content, including DnD character backstories. I simply gave GPT-3 two examples of what I wanted, and it was able to quickly generate a character backstory for one of a possible 800+ combinations of race and class.
