What it is about
Should I Use AI as the GM? AI is becoming increasingly present in everyday life, and for solo roleplayers that raises an interesting question: Should you use AI as the GM? In this short, system-neutral essay, we consider that question through storytelling, creativity, learning to GM, and the skills involved in both solo and group play. This isn't a rules supplement, GM emulator or technical guide. It's a short essay offering advice, opinion and a few things to think about when considering AI and your own role as a storyteller. Part of the Solo RPG Toolbox Essentials series from Peter Norton, creator of Hollowponds Solo Sagas and co-author of Cyberpunk RED: Single Player Mode.
