This is where a LLM might come in handy. Just tell it the parameters and say roll random. I think D&D could really benefit from the LLM. Shouldn't be too hard to just let it be the DM. That way everyone can be in the party ๐
Except an LLM has no way to roll anything random, it will just predict the most likely text for a random roll, which isn't remotely the same thing.
Why couldn't they be paired with a true rng? They can reference outside sources.
Why use dice and simple math to solve a problem, when we can use an enormous pile of circuitry, electricity and vector calculus to get an algorithmically determined string of text that contains a probabilistically likely description of the correct dice to roll?
