ChatGPT uses – random tables

Things along these lines:

please continue as above, starting at 22
22: {
'6th Level': 'Spiritwrack',
'7th Level': None,
'8th Level': None,
'9th Level': None
},
23: {
'6th Level': 'Stone To Flesh',
'7th Level': None,
'8th Level': None,
'9th Level': None
},
24: {
'6th Level': 'Tenser's Transformation',
'7th Level': None,
'8th Level': None,
'9th Level': None
}
}




please continue as above, starting at 17
Sure, here is the python dictionary for the table starting at level 17:

python
Copy code
spells = {
    6: {
        '17': 'Otiluke\'s Freezing Sphere',
        '18': 'Part Water',
        '19': 'Project Image',
        '20': 'Reincarnation',
        '21': 'Repulsion',
        '22': 'Spiritwrack',

    },
    7: {
    },
    8: {
    },
    9: {
    },
}
Please note that the numbers in the outermost dictionary are the spell level and the numbers in the innermost dictionaries are the spell numbers.





can you give me the full 7th 8th and 9th levels as above?
Sure, here is the full python dictionary for the 7th, 8th, and 9th levels:

The below, for if I want to rewrite to lazily add to my generic shared host here.

convert this python function to perl     def random_check():

        if pc <= 2:

            pc_dict['check'] = 6
        elif pc >= 3 and pc <= 5:
            pc_dict['direction'] = 'exit'
            pc_dict['check'] = 6

I had already done monsters before I thought of this - and they were standard mostly, so a parser did all 10 levels reasonbly well.
Did magic items and spells with ChatGPT assistance.  Possibly not lots and lots quicker - but easier on the fingers and wrists.

The 1000 Dungeon Project

Thanks to the AD&D Random Dungeon Generator I wrote https://github.com/bluetyson/ADnD1e-Random-Dungeon-Generator, I can parallelise, so doing this only takes less than a minute.

The basic random walk theory these talk is ‘Ahead’ is the y positive direction and always follow exits – e.g. stairs down (and can go up sometimes too).

The first 1000 dungeons I have done with 10 Periodic Checks as the DMG table calls them. e.g. a roll on the main table.

Here’s a summary :-

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kpZhtAO4cLtyLnh6bCCRVdigOL8jbjAFJ6CFyEZ2cX8/edit?usp=sharing

Wandering Monster Totals
Wandering Monster XP histogram
Monster numbers
Monster XP histogram
Rooms

Here you can have the situation if you find an empy room it can have secret doors – beyond which are more rooms, which can have secret doors if empty – I have it so it follows that stack down, then goes back – e.g. Rooms are the interesting thing.

So with 10 checks, a couple of rooms is likely.

In fact, here are the medians for this batch of 1000:

monster_xp                            0.0
wm_xp                                 0.0

z                                     1.0

Median room size is 13 by 16 – y dimensions are likely to be bigger.

So if we call a median room an exemplar, let’s have a look:

Selecting all the 13 by 16 the medians:
monster_xp                            0.0

z                                     2.0
Periodic Checks                      10.0

So these are therefore likely to have an exit to level 2 – [z = 2]

The distribution of area of the Dungeons:

Here are the individual stats for the Dungeons:

Textmapper with Gridmapper

Making SVG maps from icons based on coordinates

Example data file: https://campaignwiki.org/contrib/gridmapper-example.txt

There’s a git repository for the perl library version at the campaignwiki link,too. I should see if my generic shared hosting here can handle that sometime.
