My family would like to play some D&D but we are hopeless noobs and don't know anyone who plays. I'd love to use an AI dungeon master but there are so many to choose from!!!

We'd love to use our own dice, input character names/roles, and type in our responses to scenarios. It's totally OK if it's all text-based.

What's the best one you'd suggest? Thank you so much!!!

Edit: I actually love all the different opinions and info people have shared! It's also awesome to keep getting new comments every so often, even though it's an old post now 😁 thank you!

What would you guys think about AI dungeon masters? I understand that a bit part of the DND is the human factor in that the DM can be bamboozled, sometimes they allow ideas that come out of left field, and the flexibility. However, I feel that it would enhance accessibility for casual players that just want to play a simple campaign.

Note: Let's not turn this into a debate on whether the technology has reached a point where this is possible. It's a fact that even if the tech isn't there, it will be soon.

Edit 15-Sep-2024: this post from months ago takes on a whole different tone with the recent comments by Hasbro's CEO. For anyone who isn't aware, Hasbro owns the company that makes D&D.
