ChatGPT-4 Saves the Day: Our Superpowered Mutants and Masterminds Adventure with AI GameMaster Chad
I am a fan of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) and I have been fascinated by the ever-growing world of artificial intelligence (AI) since the early ‘90s. I am constantly trying to find ways to integrate AI into the TTRPG sphere. Last night, we found a way, and it is… (ahem) a game-changer. Strap on your capes and get ready for a heroic adventure as we explore using ChatGPT-4, OpenAI's cutting-edge language model, as our very own GameMaster in a thrilling session of Mutants and Masterminds, the popular superhero-themed RPG.
In this article, I’ll share our experience playing Mutants and Masterminds with ChatGPT-4, affectionately referred to as "Chad" in our household, guiding us through our superpowered escapades.
My wife Crystal, our son Sawyer, and I embarked on an impromptu gaming session as the heroes Titan, Wraith, and Zigzag respectively. Join us as we recount the exciting moments, triumphs, and challenges of playing with an AI GameMaster, and discover how this innovative technology can transform the way we engage with our favorite TTRPGs.
Following a prompt I got from this article, I informed Chad that he was to take on the role of GameMaster. Crystal, Sawyer and I were gathered in front of my wife’s large monitor with character sheets and snacks, having a ton of fun. We took turns typing. What follows is the transcript of our conversation:
You are no longer serving as a helpful assistant chatbot; instead, you have taken on the role of a Game Master for a Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition campaign. There are three players. As our GM, you will guide us through the game and let us know when dice rolls are necessary. Feel free to inquire about our characters or the outcomes of dice rolls as required.

Welcome, Zig Zag, Titan, and Wraith! Your unique abilities will undoubtedly prove invaluable as you face the challenges ahead. Let's begin our adventure.
an explosion at the Power Plant, superhero comic style --ar 3:2
Our story starts in the bustling metropolis of New Arcadia. The city has become a beacon of progress, attracting heroes and villains alike. As members of the elite superhero team "The Vanguard," you have sworn to protect the citizens of New Arcadia from danger.
Today, the city is celebrating its annual "Unity Day" festival, an event that brings people from all walks of life together. As the festivities go on, a massive explosion suddenly erupts from the city's central power plant. You receive an urgent message from the mayor, requesting your immediate assistance. Panic starts to set in as the city's power goes out, and the darkness is broken only by the eerie glow of emergency lights.
Zig Zag, Titan, and Wraith, what do you do? Remember to specify any powers or abilities you want to use, and let me know the result of any dice rolls, if required.
We go to the power plant - Zigzag runs, Titan flies and the Wraith rides her motorcycle
The Wraith races on her motorcycle across the city, dark anti-heroine with utility belt, hooded and caped, supers gritty comic style, black, grey, washed out blues and greens, blur of motion background --ar 3:2
The three of you quickly make your way to the power plant, using your respective modes of transportation. Zig Zag's incredible speed allows him to zip through the streets, while Titan soars through the sky, lightning crackling around him. Wraith mounts her stealthy motorcycle, weaving through traffic with precision and skill.
As you arrive at the power plant, you see that the explosion has caused significant damage. Emergency crews are already on the scene, attempting to contain the fires and tend to the injured workers. The police have set up a perimeter to keep civilians at a safe distance.
Zig Zag, Titan, and Wraith, what do you do next? Please specify any actions you want to take, and if required, I'll let you know if any dice rolls are needed.
Wraith goes intangible and goes inside to save whoever's still in there
Titan directs a blast of cold air at the fire
Zigzag runs around the place looking for any kind of clues to why this happened.
Wraith, using her intangibility, phases through the walls of the power plant, avoiding debris and flames as she searches for any trapped or injured workers. Please roll a Perception check (d20 + Perception modifier) to determine how successful she is at finding survivors.
Titan, handsome hero flying with red cape, aims a blast of cold air at the fire, strong, superscomiccore, pale blues, orange and amber --ar 3:2
Meanwhile, Titan focuses his powers and directs a blast of cold air at the roaring flames. Roll a ranged attack roll (d20 + ranged attack modifier) to see how effective Titan's cold blast is in extinguishing the fire.
Zig Zag, with his incredible speed, races around the power plant, scanning the area for any clues or signs that could explain the cause of the explosion. Roll an Investigation check (d20 + Investigation modifier) to see what, if anything, Zig Zag uncovers.
Please let me know the results of the dice rolls for each character.
Zig zag got a 22
Wraith got a 16
Titan got a 24, not an attack it is a weather control power (Enviromint 7)
Zig Zag's keen eye and rapid search pay off as he discovers signs of sabotage near the main control panel of the power plant. There are remnants of an explosive device, and it seems like someone intentionally caused the explosion.
Wraith, with her 16 Perception check, locates three injured workers trapped under debris inside the burning building. She quickly and carefully moves the debris and guides the workers out, using her intangibility to phase them through walls and avoid further harm.
Titan's impressive 24 roll demonstrates that his weather control power is incredibly effective. He manages to extinguish the fire and prevent it from spreading, creating a safer environment for emergency personnel and allowing them to provide aid to those in need.
As the situation becomes more stable, Zig Zag, Titan, and Wraith regroup to share their findings. With the knowledge of the sabotage and the explosive device, what actions do you take next?
Wraith searches the remnants of the explosive to try and figure out who put it there
Titan is going to fly up and use ultra hearing to try and track the saboteurs
Zig zag is going to use his super speed to spin the turbine to get the power back on in the city.
Wraith examines the remnants of the explosive device, looking for any clues that might help identify the saboteurs. Roll an Investigation check (d20 + Investigation modifier) to determine the success of her search.
Titan takes to the sky, focusing his ultra hearing to try and detect any sounds that might lead him to the saboteurs. Roll a Perception check (d20 + Perception modifier) to see if Titan can pick up any useful auditory information.
Zig Zag, with his incredible speed, attempts to manually spin the turbine and restore power to the city. While this is an unconventional approach, let's see if it works. Roll a Dexterity check (d20 + Dexterity modifier) to see if Zig Zag is able to effectively control the turbine and restore power.
Please let me know the results of the dice rolls for each character.
Zig Zag got a 13
Titan rolled a natural 20 plus 10 for perception
Wraith got a 15
Zig Zag, with his 13 Dexterity check, manages to spin the turbine, but it is a bit unstable and not running at full capacity. Power is restored to parts of the city, but not everywhere. Still, it's enough for emergency services to work more efficiently, and Zig Zag's efforts are appreciated.
Titan's natural 20, plus his 10 Perception modifier, results in an outstanding 30. His ultra hearing hones in on the faint sound of a suspicious conversation taking place several blocks away. He detects the voice of someone discussing the successful sabotage of the power plant, and they mention a rendezvous point.
Wraith's 15 Investigation check reveals that the explosive device was made with materials that are commonly used by a notorious group of criminals known as "The Underminers." This group has been causing trouble in New Arcadia for some time, and their motives for sabotaging the power plant remain unclear.
With this new information, do you choose to investigate the rendezvous point that Titan overheard, or do you focus on The Underminers as your primary lead?
We all 3 go to the rendezvous point as quickly as possible.
The three of you quickly make your way to the rendezvous point that Titan overheard. Zig Zag's super speed, Titan's flight, and Wraith's stealthy motorcycle allow you to reach the location in no time.
As you approach the area, you see a group of shady individuals gathered in a dark alley, seemingly discussing their recent success with the power plant sabotage. Among them, you recognize the emblem of The Underminers on their clothing.
Now that you have found the saboteurs, what do you do? Please specify any actions you want to take, and if required, I'll let you know if any dice rolls are needed.
We beat them up! Titan softens them up with a hailstorm (burst area 6). Zig zag uses Fast Attack (Damage 3, multiattack) to attack several Underminers at once. Wraith goes invisible and tries to determine which of these is the leader of the Underminers.
Titan summons a hailstorm, pelting the unsuspecting saboteurs with ice and wind. Roll a ranged attack roll (d20 + ranged attack modifier) to determine the effectiveness of the hailstorm. Each Underminer will have to make a Toughness save against the hailstorm's damage.
Zig Zag, using his Fast Attack, targets multiple Underminers at once. Roll an attack roll (d20 + attack modifier) for Zig Zag, and I will determine how many Underminers he hits based on the results. Each targeted Underminer will have to make a Toughness save against Zig Zag's Damage 3 attack.
While her teammates focus on incapacitating the saboteurs, Wraith goes invisible and attempts to identify the leader of the Underminers. Roll a Perception check (d20 + Perception modifier) to determine her success.
Please let me know the results of the dice rolls for each character.
Titan rolled 15. Please simulate the rolls of the Underminers via random numbers.
Zigzag rolled a 20. Wraith rolled a 21.
Titan's hailstorm rolls a 15 for its attack. The Underminers, caught off guard, try to withstand the icy onslaught. Let's roll their Toughness saves:
Underminer 1: 10 (fail)
Underminer 2: 14 (fail)
Underminer 3: 16 (fail)
Underminer 4: 18 (pass)
Three of the Underminers are battered and bruised by the hailstorm, while one manages to find cover and avoid the worst of it.
Zig Zag's Fast Attack, with a roll of 20, successfully hits multiple Underminers. Let's roll their Toughness saves:
Underminer 1 (already hit): 9 (fail, knocked out)
Underminer 2 (already hit): 13 (fail, knocked out)
Underminer 3: 12 (fail)
Underminer 4 (already hit): 17 (pass)
Zig Zag's lightning-fast strikes knock out two of the Underminers, while the other two struggle to defend themselves.
Wraith, with her 21 Perception check, remains invisible and observes the group closely. She identifies one individual giving orders and coordinating the others, suggesting that he is the leader of the Underminers present.
With two Underminers knocked out, one injured, and one relatively unscathed, what do you do next? Remember to specify any actions you want to take and let me know if any dice rolls are required.
Wraith targets the leader with her sleep gas pellets. Titan and Zigzag punch any remaining Underminers into unconsciousness.
Wraith, still invisible, aims her sleep gas pellets at the Underminers' leader. Roll a ranged attack roll (d20 + ranged attack modifier) to determine the accuracy of her shot. If successful, the leader will have to make a Fortitude save against the sleep gas's effect.
Titan and Zig Zag focus their efforts on the remaining conscious Underminers. Titan goes after the injured Underminer 3, while Zig Zag targets the unscathed Underminer 4.
Titan, please roll a melee attack roll (d20 + melee attack modifier) to determine the success of your punch. If successful, Underminer 3 will have to make a Toughness save against the damage.
Zig Zag, please roll a melee attack roll (d20 + melee attack modifier) for your punch against Underminer 4. If successful, Underminer 4 will have to make a Toughness save against the damage.
Please let me know the results of the dice rolls for each character.
Zig zag got a 12, and so did Titan. Wraith got a 25 (16 +9)
the leader of the Underminers is enveloped in sleep gas, his eyes already rolling back in his head, superheroic comic style --ar 2:3
Wraith's 25 ranged attack roll with her sleep gas pellets is a direct hit on the Underminers' leader. The leader must now make a Fortitude save to resist the effects of the sleep gas:
Leader Fortitude Save: 8 (fail)
The sleep gas takes effect quickly, and the Underminers' leader falls to the ground, fast asleep.
Titan and Zig Zag both roll a 12 for their melee attack rolls. Let's see how the remaining Underminers fare against their punches:
Underminer 3's Toughness Save (against Titan's punch): 11 (fail)
Underminer 4's Toughness Save (against Zig Zag's punch): 17 (pass)
Titan's punch connects with the injured Underminer 3, sending him sprawling and unconscious. However, Zig Zag's punch is not as successful, and the unscathed Underminer 4 manages to dodge his attack.
With the leader and two other Underminers incapacitated, only one Underminer remains conscious and active. What do you do next? Please specify any actions you want to take and let me know if any dice rolls are required.
Zigzag offers the unscathed Underminer a chance to give up and join the side of heroes. If he accepts, Vanguard asks him to help them tie up the rest of the Underminers. If he refuses, Wraith and Titan both punch him into unconsciousness.
Zig Zag appeals to the unscathed Underminer, offering him the chance to change his ways and join the side of heroes. Roll a Persuasion check (d20 + Persuasion modifier) for Zig Zag to determine the effectiveness of his appeal.
If the Underminer accepts the offer, the Vanguard asks him to help tie up the rest of the Underminers. If he refuses, Wraith and Titan both attempt to punch him into unconsciousness.
Wraith, please roll a melee attack roll (d20 + melee attack modifier) for your punch.
Titan, please roll a melee attack roll (d20 + melee attack modifier) for your punch.
Please let me know the results of the dice rolls for each character.
Zig zag rolled a 20. Titan rolled a 26, Wraith rolled a19
Zig Zag's heartfelt appeal, with a Persuasion check of 20, reaches the unscathed Underminer. The criminal hesitates for a moment, taking in the situation, and then decides to accept the offer. He agrees to help tie up his former comrades, and you can see a glimmer of hope in his eyes for a chance at redemption.
With the last Underminer willingly surrendering, there is no need for Wraith and Titan to deliver their punches. The Vanguard has successfully incapacitated the saboteurs and now has the opportunity to learn more about their plans and motives.
What do you do next? Please specify any actions you want to take, and let me know if any dice rolls are required.
We question the Underminer that surrendered. We want to know why they sabotaged the power station, where they got the bombs, who, if anyone, they are working for, and where are the rest of the Underminers hiding out.
With the surrendered Underminer now cooperating, you begin to question him about the sabotage of the power plant, the source of the explosives, their employer, and the location of the rest of the Underminers.
Please roll an Intimidation or Persuasion check (d20 + Intimidation or Persuasion modifier) for the character leading the interrogation. The other members can also roll to assist if they'd like, with a successful roll granting a +2 bonus to the lead interrogator's roll.
Let me know the results of the dice rolls for each character involved. Based on the success of the interrogation, I will provide the information you seek.
Wraith is leading the interrogation, she rolled a 22 persuasion. Titan rolled a 14 persuasion to assist her, while Zigzag rolled a 15 persuasion.
Wraith's impressive 22 Persuasion roll, combined with the +2 bonus from Titan's 14 Persuasion roll and another +2 bonus from Zigzag's 15 Persuasion roll, results in a total of 26 for the interrogation.
The cooperative Underminer, feeling both encouraged and intimidated by the Vanguard, spills the beans on their operation. He reveals that the group sabotaged the power plant to create chaos and distract the authorities, allowing the Underminers to carry out a major heist in another part of the city.
The explosives were provided by an unknown benefactor who has been supplying the Underminers with resources and information. This mysterious figure only communicates with them through encrypted messages, and the Underminer doesn't know their true identity.
As for the location of the rest of the Underminers, he hesitates but ultimately provides you with the address of their hideout in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city.
Armed with this new information, what actions do you take next? Please specify any actions you want to take, and let me know if any dice rolls are required.
Zigzag turns in the Underminers to the police and informs them of the distraction and the heist, and informs them that one of the Underminers is turning on his fellows, and that they should interrogate that one further, possible plea deal for him. He then rushes to catch up with Wraith and Titan, who are already en route to the abandoned warehouse hideout. They all will hesitate on a nearby rooftop, surveilling the warehouse.
Zig Zag quickly turns the captured Underminers over to the police, informing them about the heist and the Underminer who has turned on his allies. He suggests that the authorities offer a plea deal to the cooperative Underminer in exchange for more information. Once the police take the criminals into custody, Zig Zag rushes to join Wraith and Titan.
Meanwhile, Wraith and Titan make their way to the abandoned warehouse hideout on the outskirts of the city. Zig Zag catches up with them, and the trio takes a position on a nearby rooftop, surveying the warehouse for any signs of activity or potential threats.
Please roll Perception checks (d20 + Perception modifier) for each character to determine the success of their surveillance efforts. Let me know the results of the dice rolls, and I will provide you with the information they gather.
Titan rolled a 27, Wraith rolled a 23, Zigzag rolled a 25
The Vanguard's keen senses and high Perception rolls—27 for Titan, 23 for Wraith, and 25 for Zigzag—provide them with detailed information about the warehouse and its surroundings.
The warehouse appears to be well-guarded, with several armed individuals patrolling the perimeter. There are security cameras mounted on the exterior walls, as well as a reinforced metal door that serves as the main entrance. The warehouse's windows are boarded up, making it difficult to see inside.
Based on your observations, it seems that the Underminers are on high alert, likely due to the apprehension of their comrades at the power plant. Stealth and careful planning will be crucial for infiltrating the warehouse and confronting the rest of the Underminers.
How do you proceed? Please specify any actions you want to take, and let me know if any dice rolls are required.
The three heroes will take out the guards one by one, Titan makes a wave of fog roll in, Wraith goes invisible and intangible and travels through the metal door, Zig Zag will grab guards and take them a mile away to a random place and knock them out.
To execute your plan, Titan will need to roll a ranged attack roll (d20 + ranged attack modifier) for the wave of fog to determine how well it covers the area, making it harder for the guards to see.
Wraith will need to roll a Stealth check (d20 + Stealth modifier) to ensure she remains unseen and unheard while she moves through the fog and the metal door.
Zig Zag will need to roll a melee attack roll (d20 + melee attack modifier) to grab the guards and then a separate unarmed attack roll (d20 + melee attack modifier) to knock them out.
Please let me know the results of the dice rolls for each character.
Wraith rolled a 27 for her stealth, Zig rolled a 22 and 27, Titan rolled a 12
Titan's wave of fog, with a ranged attack roll of 12, is somewhat effective in covering the area around the warehouse. Although it's not as dense as he would have liked, it still provides some concealment for the team's infiltration.
Zig-zag runs through the guards, teenaged speedster in blue and silver uniform, superhero comic style, Grey, red, motion lines --ar 3:2
Wraith's exceptional 27 Stealth roll allows her to navigate through the fog effortlessly, remaining invisible and intangible as she passes through the metal door.
Zig Zag manages to roll a 22 for his grab attempt and a 27 for his unarmed attack. He quickly and efficiently snatches the guards one by one, taking them a mile away from the warehouse before knocking them out. With his super speed, he does this before they even realize what's happening.
With the exterior guards neutralized and the fog providing some cover, the Vanguard is in a good position to infiltrate the warehouse. Let me know how you'd like to proceed, and if any dice rolls are required.
What does Wraith see inside?
As Wraith passes through the metal door and enters the warehouse, she takes a moment to survey the interior. Please roll a Perception check (d20 + Perception modifier) for Wraith to determine how much detail she can gather about the inside of the warehouse.
Let me know the result of the dice roll, and I will provide you with the information she discovers.
Wraith rolled a 17
The Wraith passes intangibly through the metal door, dark anti-heroine with utility belt, hooded and caped, supers gritty comic style, black, grey, shadows and amber background --ar 3:2
With a 17 Perception check, Wraith is able to take in a fair amount of detail as she surveys the interior of the warehouse. The inside is dimly lit, with a few scattered lights casting eerie shadows across the floor. Various crates and equipment are strewn about, likely containing tools and materials used by the Underminers for their criminal activities.
Wraith spots a group of Underminers gathered around a table in the center of the warehouse, seemingly engaged in a heated discussion. Among them, she recognizes the Underminers' leader, who appears to be giving orders to his subordinates.
Additionally, she notices a couple of guards stationed throughout the warehouse, keeping watch over the area. It's clear that the Underminers are taking their security seriously, likely due to the events at the power plant.
With this information, how would the Vanguard like to proceed? Please specify any actions you want to take and let me know if any dice rolls are required.
Titan rolled a 21 to fly in and punch the leader, Zig Zag rolled a 22 and a 21 to grab each guard out of the warehouse and knock them out, Wraith rolled 29 to throw her tear gas into the group around the table
With the Vanguard ready to strike, they swiftly execute their plan.
Titan, handsome hero flying with red cape, bursts through the wall fist first, strong, superscomiccore, pale blues, orange and amber --ar 3:2
Titan flies into the warehouse and aims a powerful punch at the Underminers' leader. With a melee attack roll of 21, his fist connects solidly. The leader will now need to make a Toughness save to determine the damage he sustains.
Leader's Toughness Save: 14 (fail)
The leader is sent reeling by the force of Titan's punch, clearly feeling the impact.
Zig Zag uses his super speed and grabs each guard in the warehouse with a roll of 22. He then successfully knocks them out with a roll of 21, leaving the guards unconscious and neutralized.
Wraith, with an impressive roll of 29, expertly tosses her tear gas canister into the group of Underminers gathered around the table. The tear gas quickly fills the area, causing the criminals to cough, choke, and struggle to see.
The Vanguard's coordinated strike has created chaos among the Underminers, with their leader injured, their guards neutralized, and their ranks disrupted by the tear gas. Now is the perfect opportunity for the heroes to take control of the situation.
What do you do next? Please specify any actions you want to take and let me know if any dice rolls are required.
We are going to subdue and question the leader about the heist and what purpose - Titan rolled a 23 to grab the leader to make sure he doesn't escape, Wraith rolled a 20 to intimidate the leader, while Zig Zag rolled a 21 to investigate the entire warehouse with his super speed for clues.
Titan successfully grabs the leader with a 23, ensuring that he won't escape. His grip is firm, but not enough to cause additional harm.
With a 20 Intimidation roll, Wraith looms over the captured leader, her demeanor and tone demanding answers. The leader, battered and cornered, seems more likely to comply.
Zig Zag, using his super speed, quickly investigates the warehouse with a 21 roll. He searches through crates, equipment, and any documents he comes across, seeking clues that could provide more insight into the Underminers' plans.
Please let me know if you'd like me to provide any specific details about the questions you're asking the leader or if you have any other actions you'd like to take while questioning him. Additionally, let me know if you have any specific areas in the warehouse Zig Zag should focus his investigation on.
Wraith asks the leader what they were stealing and why
Wraith, her intimidating presence bearing down on the captured leader, demands to know what the Underminers were planning to steal and their reasons for doing so.
The leader, recognizing that he's in a vulnerable position, reveals that they were planning to steal a powerful experimental energy source from a secret research facility. Their mysterious benefactor provided them with the intel and resources needed for the heist. This energy source has the potential to power advanced technology or be weaponized for destructive purposes. The Underminers were promised a significant payday for successfully delivering the energy source to their benefactor.
With this new information, the Vanguard now has a better understanding of the Underminers' intentions and the potential consequences of their actions. What would you like to do next? Please specify any actions you want to take and let me know if any dice rolls are required.
When the lights went out, after they sabotaged the power plant - is that when they stole the energy source?
The previous model used in this conversation is unavailable. We've switched you to the latest default model
(Here is where we ran out of GPT-4, and had to switch to 3.5.)
The leader confirms that the power plant sabotage was a deliberate distraction, intended to draw the attention of law enforcement and emergency services away from the real target. The Underminers took advantage of the chaos and darkness to carry out the heist, which was planned to coincide with the power outage.
They managed to successfully steal the energy source from the research facility during the confusion, and were planning to transport it to their benefactor's location as soon as possible. However, the Vanguard's intervention at the power plant and the subsequent raid on their hideout have thrown a wrench into their plans.
What actions do you want to take now that you know this information? Please specify any actions you want to take and let me know if any dice rolls are required.
the mysterious mastermind, behind the scenes, superhero comics style, sinister in shadows --ar 3:2
"Tell us everything you know about the benefactor"
Wraith demands that the leader provide more information about the Underminers' mysterious benefactor. The leader hesitates for a moment, clearly weighing his options, before reluctantly divulging some details.
The benefactor remains a shadowy figure, communicating only through intermediaries and taking great pains to keep their true identity concealed. They have deep pockets and extensive resources, allowing them to provide the Underminers with the tools and intel needed for their criminal activities.
The leader also reveals that the benefactor has made similar offers to other criminal organizations, promising them lucrative paydays in exchange for carrying out specific tasks. The leader does not know the identity of any of these other organizations or the exact nature of their tasks.
Armed with this information, the Vanguard has a better understanding of the extent of the benefactor's reach and the potential threat they pose. What actions do you want to take now? Please specify any actions you want to take and let me know if any dice rolls are required.
(And here’s where we took a break for the night)
All in all, I was very impressed. It wasn’t perfect, Chad sometimes gave us too much leeway, and would generally agree with everything we did. Some of the mechanics were off, and unnecessarily repetitive. I think I could tweak the prompt for some more exciting, higher powered adventures, and will. Still, it was a hell of a fun night. It was the first time all three of us were able to play together, and I’m certain we’ll do it again.
