MODERATORS
I use ChatGPT (GPT4 version) for my homebrew campaign. I use it for generating stat blocks, adding filler details to settings I came up with ("describe this room with x y and z in it and foreshadow this thing at the end of the adventure"), and brainstorming options for how the plot could go going forward.
My party is 6 players, so there are a lot of individual subplots and backstories to keep track of. When I pitch new ideas to ChatGPT after refreshing it on the campaign's context, it often will point out themes that would be good to highlight so I can tie some new event or setting into one or more characters' backstories or emotional insecurities. It's startlingly good at managing the complex interplay of ideas.
Everything else I just improv, so basically I use it for prep and setting the scene when entering a new location.
