As mentioned in my previous post on wolfsbane, poisonous and medicinal plants have always been a part of Dungeons & Dragons. In that post, I briefly discussed how wolfsbane and belladonna are functionally complimentary in D&D since these plants were primarily used to either repel werewolves or, in the case of belladonna, potentially cure a character inflicted with lycanthropy (cf. DMG pp. 22, 220; and Moldvay p. B38). In this post, I’m turning my attention to additional potential uses for belladonna (aka deadly nightshade) in a D&D campaign.

Generating D&D Campaign Content with AI . . . Re-skinned Halflings

In Campaigns

Similar to my AI-generative experiments with MidJourney, I’ve been dabbling with AI to produce expanded content for homebrew campaign settings. It’s been kind of fun to upload some basic outlines and concepts to something like ChatGPT and then watch what it spits out. After some back and forth fine-tuning, the results end up pretty good (in my opinion). The re-skinned dwarfs I was calling the Komari Xul from the last post turned out pretty good. That started with little more than the Bazen Pur files in my links section and a detailed prompt outlining some thematic goals and sources of inspiration. Below is another example for a OD&D re-skinned halfling class using the same approach and files.
