December 8, 2022 This is one of my **#Dungeon23** challenge for 2023.

I decided to have **Chatgpt** 🤖 and Midjourney ⛵ be my digital assistants and help me come up with ideas for my dungeon. Here is our conversation to inspire things.

I’ll be posting my progress on Mastodon, so feel free to follow me!

First I had to experiment to find a stylish artistic style to use with Midjourney. I eventually landed on this style for my mapping, and you’ll see the character and environmental styles in this document too.

Then I started working with my digital DM intern 🤖 to give me ideas for the “space dungeon”, I’ll be working on here.

Here begins my brainstorming transcript with the AI:


I need a theme for a fun and fantastical space dungeon

🤖 How about a space station that has been taken over by a group of mischievous aliens? The players must navigate through the station, fighting off the aliens and their wacky creations, in order to find and defeat the leader of the alien invasion. Along the way, they can collect space loot and acquire new weapons and abilities to help them on their quest. The space station itself could be filled with all sorts of strange and fantastical environments, from glowing crystal caves to towering futuristic cities. It's up to you to come up with the details and make the dungeon as fun and imaginative as possible!

Any ideas for what kind of aliens might live here?
