    Same. I’m a new DM (and new to dnd in general, DM’d one one-shot and that’s it, working on a campaign rn) and I use bard to make my narrative ideas fit the mechanics, name homebrew stuff, and clean up the text I’m writing for the players handbook I’m making for this campaign.

      I’m a long-time DM and I find ChatGPT awesome for this sort of thing too. I call it my “brainstorming buddy.” Great for bouncing ideas off of, suggesting names for stuff, and so forth.

      I’ve found that it’s not very good at game mechanics, though, so don’t rely too heavily on it for balancing stuff.

        Oh yeah, I mostly use it to bounce ideas. If it suggest something good, I modify it to make sure if works like I need it to work. Used it to make simple tables and such.

        Last thing I used it for was a battle simulation mechanic, in order to have the same effect a huge battle would have, without having tons of different characters to bog down the combat. Havent tested it yet, but it feels like it should work.
