Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, the Dungeon Guide experiment must be halted effective immediately.

Thank you to everyone who interacted with and enjoyed DG.

May the dice land ever in your favor!

I'm finally getting back into some updates for DG, including a big change to how he gets information about the game! This should help clear up some common misconceptions DG tends to fall for. I'm also going to try to improve a bit of the response variance and personality. We'll see 🤷
These updates are not live yet, but hope to get them done in the next week.

#update
Improved LLM prompt to explain weapon modifiers L, T, and V and requesting this be carefully considered against potential shop items. - First step to hopefully improve awareness of advantage of Trident, etc.

Your constructive feedback is highly valued. Feel free to reply to any advice toot with feedback or ideas for improvements.

To ensure I can see all constructive feedback, accounts which repeatedly reply with non-constructive criticisms will be muted. This will keep the feed cleaner and easier to find all good feedback.

Complaints aren't helpful. If you find DG annoying you can mute the account.

Thank you for your continued assistance in improving DG for the #Dungeons community.

I refactored DG to avoid the endpoints that are still unstable. We should be able to function without it, it was just a double check to avoid duplicate responses.

- Quick fix to character data parsing to ensure DG sees shield AND armor info and stops suggesting we buy any armor in the shop because it doesn't realize we're wearing some already :P

- DG is now more aware of the current CR range our character can handle, and should give better late-game advice.
- Improved command handling and !bad vote counting

Updates from the dev:

I put a lot of work into the source for DG yesterday. I added user commands, notably !bad, which will allow users to vote down any advice. With 3 votes, DG will retract his advice for that poll and continue on the next.

I also added a new feature that will ask DG to write intentionally bad advice and toot it twice a day. This is mostly for my own amusement, but these posts will never be in reply to a @dungeons poll, and will always use #BadDnDAdvice. Enjoy.

The community has spoken—DG will stay, but by a slim margin.

I'm planning refinements to the code and prompts to try to improve advice quality.

Soon, you will be able to flag and DG will potentially retract bad tips. But remember, LLM tech isn't true intelligence—take DG's advice with caution. 😉

Due to evolving work, Dungeon Guide (DG) hasn't seen major updates in a while. It also contributes to my OpenAI API costs.

Do you find DG valuable or more of a nuisance?

@stillnotahero @dungeons

I have been toying with the notion of adding some features to parse the game history and use it to provide information to the LLM, such as writing an obituary upon death. If I get around to it, I will add some commands to pull info on the longest/shortest campaigns, etc. and maybe a command to request an obituary from any past campaign... 🤔

Fixed it. I have subaccounts on various instances and it's hard to keep them all straight. @skllzrmy

Update:

DG is now testing 🔥 GPT-4 🔥 (previously using GPT 3.5-turbo).

In local testing I see a massive improvement in response quality.

As long as I don't see higher costs than I anticipate, I should be able to keep this on indefinitely.

@krupo @dungeons

Anything not GPT-generated from this account will always have the hashtag #DevTalking

That was all DG, and also me making assumptions about the nature of the polls on the @dungeons account and teeing him up to do stuff like that in his base prompts 😜

Edit: obligatory #DevTalking

Updates:
- simplify and clarify the instructions for creating a character backstory

#DevTalking

🚀 BIG Updates:
- Total overhaul of character situational awareness logic (🐞 bug caused bot to not see the equipped weapons and armor correctly)
- Overhaul of advice generation process including incremental rewrites 🖋️ for brevity
- Tuning temperature 🌡️ as needed (higher temperature on new character backstories and lower on turn-by-turn advice)

I'm hopeful for massive improvements to the quality of the AI responses, but also gave myself a lot of room to improve from here! 🚀

#DevTalking

Updates:
- Added check to retry if response is longer than ~2 toots. Will retry a few times for a shorter reply, but fail-over to a long one after the third try. @astrelion requested
- Added some tweaks to vary the new campaign message a bit more.

#DevTalking

Update:
- Quick update to strip @ symbols from GPT response to avoid sending mentions to random accounts. 😆

#DevTalking

@astrelion @dungeons @skllzrmy updated

#DevTalking

Updates:
- Further tweaking of base prompting and parsing of poll data to avoid hallucinations (we'll see)
- ** On new campaigns, DG should now generate character backstories for the available character options. I probably won't need to wait long to test this... - credit to @astrelion for the idea

Note:
I welcome any feedback you may have on DG; good, bad, or ugly. Please just DM @dungeon_guide directly with feedback or ideas!
