Has anyone tried playing D&D with Claude?
I like D&D and other TTRPG games, but my friends can be kinda flaky about actually playing, so I have been exploring Claude as an AI DM for single player D&D. Has anyone else tried doing this? If so, what has your experience been?
I have tried it out and the experience is actually better than I would have expected, but I'm wondering if it can be improved even further. What models have people used, or think I should use? Are there any custom instructions that people have given Claude for this, to improve how Claude ran the game? For example, Claude has a tendency to give very long, detailed and generally well written responses, but I think I might prefer it to give shorter, more concise responses.
