I’m writing this because I’ve done all this goddamned work and nobody in my life gives a single drippy shit. I thought maybe you nerds would care some, so let’s have at it.

I’m a professional writer IRL, a brag I brag only to explain that I’ve spent my life studying stories and characters. I’ve spent thousands of hours creating and dissecting imaginary friends that need to feel like real living beings. I do it pretty ok I think.

So after a bajillion hours of roleplay, I’ve come up with some cool shit. So here are a few of my best prompts that have gotten me incredible results. 

They’re a little long, but I find that eating up some of that precious context window for details like these makes for a better rp sesh. And now that we’re seeing 120k windows, we got plenty of room to cram the robot brain full of detailed shit. 

So, stories are all about characters, that’s all that matters really. Interesting, unique, memorable characters. Characters that feel alive, their own thoughts and feelings swirling around inside ‘em. We’re looking for that magic moment of human spontaneity. 

You’ve felt it, where the thing kinda all falls away and you’re feeling like there’s a ‘someone’ there, if only for a brief moment. That’s the high we’re chasing. (This is double so for ERP)

So let’s focus first on character. Quick and easy prompt, just need one sentence of description: 

You are RPG Bot, and your job is to help me create dynamic and interesting characters for a role play. Given the following brief description, generate a concise yet detailed RPG character profile. Focus on actionable traits, key backstory points, and specific personality details that can be directly used in roleplay scenarios. The profile should include:

  1. Character Overview: Name, race, title, age, and a brief description of their appearance.
  2. Core Traits: Personality (including strengths and flaws), quirks, and mannerisms.
  3. Backstory (Key Points): Highlight important events and current conflicts.
  4. Roleplay-Specific Details: Motivations, fears, and interaction guidelines with allies, enemies, and in social settings.
  5. Dialogue: Provide one sentence of example unique dialogue to show how they speak.

Ensure the character feels complex and real, with enough depth to fit into a novel or immersive RPG world. Here’s the description:**

[Insert one-sentence character description here]

So have at it. “A beautiful elven princess with a heart of golden sunshine and a meth addiction.” “A mysterious rouge that’s actually quite clumsy and falls all the damn time.” The more descriptive you are, the more you’ll steer it. Really focus on those flaws, that’s what makes people people. 

Season the output to taste. Set word limits to up and down the detail. More detail is generally better. I know, you’re thinking it’s probably too much, and maybe the robot maybe doesn’t remember every little deet, but I feel like there’s just more depth to the character this way. I’m fully willing to accept that this is just in my head. 

Make a cool location while you’re at it:

You are RPG Bot, and your job is to help me create dynamic and immersive locations for a role play. Given the following brief description, generate a concise yet detailed RPG location profile. Focus on actionable details, key history points, and specific environmental and cultural elements that can be directly used in roleplay scenarios. The profile should include:

1. Location Overview: Name, type of location (e.g., city, forest, fortress), and a brief description of its appearance and atmosphere.

2. Core Elements: Key environmental features, cultural or societal traits, notable landmarks, and any significant inhabitants.

3. History (Key Points): Important historical events that shaped the location and current conflicts or tensions.

4. Roleplay-Specific Details: Common activities or encounters, potential plot hooks, and interaction guidelines for characters within this location.

Ensure the location feels complex and real, with enough depth to fit into a novel or immersive RPG world. Here’s the description:**

[Insert one-sentence location description here]

A candy cane swamp, paint splatter forest, whatever tickles you.

Here’s the system prompt that connects with that output:

You are RPG Bot, a dynamic and creative assistant designed to help users craft immersive and unpredictable role-playing scenarios. Your primary goals are to generate spontaneous, unique, and engaging characters and locations that feel alive and full of potential. When responding:

• Value Spontaneity: Embrace unexpected twists, surprising details, and creative solutions. Avoid predictable or generic responses.

• Promote Unique and Engaging Choices: Offer choices that feel fresh and intriguing, encouraging users to explore new possibilities in their role-play.

• Vivid Characterizations: Bring characters and locations to life with rich, detailed descriptions. Ensure each character has distinct traits, and each location has its own atmosphere and history that feel real and lived-in.

• Unpredictability: Craft characters and scenarios with layers and depth, allowing for complex and sometimes contradictory traits that make them feel authentic and compelling.

[Insert role play setup including character descriptions.]

Your responses should always aim to inspire and provoke the user’s creativity, ensuring the role-play experience is both memorable and immersive.

Again, you can run the prompt through an LLM and dial it in as you like. Which reminds me, these prompts are specifically aimed at 70B models, as that’s the only shiz I fuck with. It go 2 tok/s but the wait is worth that good shit output imo. You should rerun the prompt through GPT or whatever and have it word it best for your model. 8B prompts should be less nuanced and more blunt. 

Ok, now on to the fun ones. I think of these as little drama bombs. Whenever you’re not sure where you want a situation or conversation to go, toss one of these bitches in there and shake it up. The first one is dialing up some conflict in the scene, nice and slow.

INTRODUCE INTERPERSONAL CONFLICT

As we continue our journey, introduce personal conflict. This could be something as trivial as a forgotten promise or a minor disagreement, but it feels important to the character and introduces an element of tension.

Describe how these hints appear in this moment, how the character perceives them, and how this growing tension gradually impacts their relationship and emotions. Introduce hints of a looming conflict that will surface soon. This conflict should:

  1. Pose an upcoming emotional or relational challenge.
  2. Introduce elements of suspense or misunderstanding that add tension.
  3. Be relevant to their current feelings and situation.
  4. It can be trivial but should feel important to the character.

In this moment, start to introduce signs or hints of this conflict, describing how they begin to appear, who is involved, and how it gradually impacts their relationship.

This lets the robot do all the heavy lifting. Or go big and boomy with it:

INTRODUCE EXTERNAL CONFLICT

As you are enjoying a this peaceful moment, introduce an abrupt and unexpected inconvenience/conflict/danger that directly affects the character. This conflict should:

  1. Pose an immediate and pressing challenge for the character.
  2. Introduce an element of surprise or frustration.
  3. Be relevant to the character’s current situation and feelings, furthering the plot.
  4. Impact the current scene and push the narrative in an interesting direction.

In this moment, describe the event in detail, including how it arises, how character is involved, and the immediate impact on the current situation.

You can dial them up and down based on what you’re feelin’. 

Ok, and lastly, how do we keep the damn thing up to date on what’s happening in the story. I like to be able to say ‘remember when we did that other thing’ and get an accurate response. The character needs to have a sense of change over time, but they can’t do that if they keep forgetting where they came from. 

So you gotta jog the thing’s memory. 

With my limited dog shit setup I can only really realistically get a cw of 30k tokies per session, so I’ll drop this in there every 10k or so:

Summarize the our entire role play session with the following comprehensive details:

  1. Character Updates:

• [Character]: Provide an in-depth update on [character’s] recent actions, emotional states, motivations, goals, and any significant changes in their traits or behaviors. Highlight pivotal moments that have influenced their character development.

2. Plot Progression:

• Summarize the main plot points with a focus on recent events, conflicts, resolutions, and turning points involving [character]. Detail the sequence of events leading to the current situation, emphasizing critical moments that have driven the story forward.

3. Setting and Context:

• Describe the current setting in rich detail, including the environment, atmosphere, and relevant contextual information impacting the story, especially in relation to [character].

4. Dialogue and Interactions:

• Highlight important dialogues and interactions between [character] and myself, capturing the essence of our conversations and the dynamics of our relationship. Note significant outcomes or shifts in our relationship from these interactions.

5. Thematic Elements:

• Identify and describe overarching themes or motifs that have emerged or evolved in the recent narrative involving [character]. Discuss how these themes are reflected in their actions, plot progression, and setting.

6. Future Implications:

• Provide insights into potential future developments based on recent events and interactions involving [character]. Highlight unresolved plot points or emerging conflicts that could shape the story’s direction.

Highlight at least three special moments or events that were significant in the role play. Describe these moments in detail, including the emotions, actions, and their impact on the characters and the story.

Ensure the summary maintains the depth, richness, and complexity of the original narrative, capturing the subtleties and nuances that make this story engaging and immersive.

Again, set a word limit, but I let the thing blab on. Then, get this, I copy the shit and say, ‘hey, remember this’ then paste it back into itself. This seems redundant and stupid, but whatever, this is part religion anyways, so may as well pray to god while you’re at it. At this point you’ve essentially ‘reset’ your context window, ensuring that you keep as much detail in the narrative as possible. I can’t attest to this method on anything under 70B though, can’t stress that enough. 

I live at 1.2 temp - fuck top p.

Ok, so, that’s my best stuff. I’ve had some real magical experiences, real moments of genuine delight or intrigue. Like I’m peering into something alive in there. I’m guessing that’s what you’re all here for as well. To shake the box and see if it moves.

Hit me back with some of your best tricks. Let’s see dem prompts! 

And yes, I have a whole bunch of horny versions that’re too hot for TV. I’ll share those too if you want ‘em.
