Dungeons and Dragons - AI

Hello everyone!

My name is Casey Baggz and I'm the Founder & CEO of Nurl a new app that uses advanced AI (not ChatGPT) to deconstruct the rules, player sheets (and everything else that makes TTRPGs hard for players and GMs) and presents it in a holistic and conversational way. Likewise, we also add in realtime notes & chat (similar to Notion and Slack/Discord) and combine it with an extension library so you can have all the tools you need in one magical place.

I've been working hard to make sure we ship in less than 9 weeks and so far have received a perfect-score feedback from all players/gms we have user tested with ranging from 13-50 year olds who have played anywhere from "being curious" to 20 year vets.

Today, the waitlist is officially open and if you join you will get access to the app before the general public. I'm currently a GM and started as a player and built Nurl because I have yet to find a good solution for a tool that helps streamline the game in an elegant way that works with IRL/hybrid sessions (i.e. it's not a VTT).

I know there AI is controversial in general, now that it is mainstream - but it has always been around in some form or another in almost every product we use today. I also believe there is a right and wrong way to use it in order to improve culture and I'm proud to say that Nurl does use it in a powerful way that helps the community vs. hurts them.

It’s not a particularly impressive image, and I didn’t do a good job at cleaning up the inpainting edges, but getting a chubby dragonborn was hard and I think he’s cute.

I've been using Midjourney to fill out my gallery of characters. So far, I've got art for 13 characters finished. I still need write-ups on quite a few, but I think this really helps to fill in my descriptions.

If you're interested in learning more about the campaign all these characters live in, it's chronicled in the Nother Realm podcast!

This is a mount for an NPC in our Pathfinder game.

I regenerated the NPC characters for Dragons of Stormwreck Isle today using much better techniques and after lots and lots of practice.

Here is an album of all 3 NPCs
