How to Use Mythic Game Master Emulator with ChatGPT for Solo RPG Adventures

My first experience with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) was in a D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) campaign. I play a Dragonborn Barbarian, and it’s been amazing to play in person with others. This has shown me how fun and creative TTRPGs can be, especially when you share the story with a group. But I’m someone who loves to explore new ideas and dive into research. That’s what brought me to solo role-playing games.

I’ve been interested in solo role-playing for a while. After spending the last year and a half playing in a D&D campaign, I discovered how much I enjoy stepping into a fantasy or sci-fi world. It’s exciting to see a new world through the eyes of a character you create.

Solo RPGs let you test different systems and settings by yourself. For someone like me—who gets excited about new ideas and often switches focus—this is perfect. You don’t need to wait for others or stick to just one game. You can play whenever and however you want.

Some TTRPGs are designed for solo play, but many are made for groups with a Game Master (GM). That’s where the Mythic Game Master Emulator 2nd Edition (GME) comes in. Mythic GME acts as the GM, helping you make decisions and guide the story. This allows you to play solo adventures or even run group games without a GM.

For the coming time I want to combine being more efficient with LLM’s like ChatGPT and learning the ins-and-outs of solo role-playing. In this series I will setup a game using GME and ChatGPT and play through a short scenario to see how ChatGPT can guide me through my learnings of solo play.

I decided to try Mythic with Dragonbane, a simple and gritty fantasy RPG. It felt like a great mix for solo play. In this article, I’ll show how Mythic GME and Dragonbane work together to create an exciting and unpredictable solo role-playing experience.

In part two we will start with exploring the basis rules of Dragonbane and setting up our character(s) for our adventure.
