[rant] Nope. AI is a plague on society which drains resources which we need for real things, accelerates climate change exponentially when we need to be reducing it exponentially for any hope to survive as a species, is causing computer prices to soar, is dehumanising the human experience, steals from the creativity of others, and for what? Absolute rubbishy results, a step or two above a magic 8 ball. It's another silly fad, and humans can't keep themselves from fixating on fads. It's like destroying the planet because we think furbies are the next cool thing, even though we know that 5% of them turn their families into brains-eating zombies, but we each figure that's a 95% chance it won't happen, so let's do it. I always assumed we would be the products of our own extinction, but never would have guessed that it would happen just to produce Star Wars fanfic, school reports, and nude photos. Actually, I probably should have assumed the latter would be involved somehow.[/rant]

A friend used recording software to record a couple sessions he ran, but it was too fiddly, he didn't like it, and stopped using it. Maybe a note taking AI agent would be useful for keeping session notes and preparing recaps? I've never used for that though. I like writing up my notes after the session to help myself remember what happened.
The only other kinds of analysis I think could be helpful or interesting are things like tracking how many people are playing each RPG, which is hard for an individual to do (platforms like Roll20 can get those stats much more easily), or finding RPG recommendations. But I already have too many RPGs I want to play and don't feel I need more recommendations than I already receive.

I've never used AI to analyze anything RPG related. If I played games where CRs and combat balance were paramount, maybe I could use it to ensure my encounters were balanced? But I don't like those games anyway.A friend used recording software to record a couple sessions he ran, but it was too fiddly, he didn't like it, and stopped using it.

Consumer revolt is exactly how we stop this train.
Campaign suspended; will be back when AI is gone

Great taste in TTRPGs and in video games. That is one of my favourites as well!
That's interesting. I actually didn't know about the Gloranthan ducks, I just assumed that they originated in DoD since they are so wacky. DoD was heavily inspired by Runequest, so it makes a ton of sense. The publisher, Äventyrspel, even aqcuired a license from Chaosium to be able to use the BRP rules, so its not as if it's some loose connection either. Are the Runequest ducks similarly humourous, or are they treated more seriously, akin to the animal-kin races from 5E?
