Hello. I use GPT4 daily for work (Python programming and documentation writing) but also for my longtime hobby: Tabletop RPG. And the game we play with my group is... The Expanse RPG.

Trying to write a follow-up scenario for the latest scenario I entertained my players with, I searched for a RPG oriented bot to help me in this task, not being the most creative guy. But first I wanted to check if there were any about The Expanse... That's how I stumbled upon your bots (at first not realizing there was a second). I have already spent some hours discussing the troubles I had writing a follow-up scenario, explaining the previous one and how it ended up, what leads were left unexplored, my expectations in terms of structure, etc. And I really had fun and Miller and I came up with a nice multiplots non-linear scenario perfectly meshing with my group situation.

I wanted to pay you due respect and convey you my gratefulness for those marvelous bots. I shall continue to use them for this purpose as they do a marvelous job! Many thanks.

Hello there! Thanks very much for the comment. I have been using this specific scenario to explore all sorts of ways to broadcast these innovation methods, from articles, youtube movies, face to face workshops and now training an AI to do it. I have been fairly astonished that it's actually possible to train an AI to do this, and I'm very pleased that you got some use out of it. I'd love to hear about the ideas that my version of Miller helped you to devise. Reason being, this exercise is only one part of a wider puzzle that I've been trying to solve, which you seem to have managed to do. Can I use the innovation techniques that I use in my day job for fictional world building? Can I populate fictional narratives with interesting, fantastical but believable and functional technologies using these techniques? You can find my main effort here https://gordonhart.substack.com/ some of which I have dramatized here https://youtu.be/9VrcxQ5Pcbo and here https://youtu.be/3X_oGSCEeQo From your experiences, it seems that it may indeed be possible to use innovation methods to build RPG narratives. How very pleasing.
