Ask An AI: Dungeons and Dragons and Williston

We asked an AI to write a D&D one shot adventure set in Williston to see what hijinks and high fantasy await intrepid adventures in the Mon-Dak.

With the recent success of the movie Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, as well as the enhanced popularity of the table top game in recent years thanks to shows like Stranger Things and the Twitch phenom Critical Roll, we wanted to see what a campaign set in the Bakken would look like.

Here is what the AI came up with, so roll for initiative:

Welcome to the Williston Chronicles, a DnD campaign set in the heart of North Dakota's oil country! In this adventure, the players will find themselves embroiled in the high-stakes world of fracking, corporate espionage, and ancient magic.

The campaign takes place in the fictional town of Blackstone, a small but rapidly growing community on the edge of the Bakken oil formation. The players are all residents of Blackstone, drawn together by a shared sense of adventure and a desire to protect their town from the forces that threaten it.

Chapter One: The Fracking Wells. The campaign begins with the players hearing rumors of strange happenings at the fracking wells outside of town. Local farmers are reporting that their livestock is becoming sick and dying, and some have even claimed to see strange, shadowy figures lurking around the wells at night. The players are hired by the town's mayor to investigate these reports and put an end to whatever is causing them.

As the players explore the fracking wells, they discover that they are not the only ones interested in what's going on. A rival oil company has been using underhanded tactics to gain access to the same oil reserves, and they will stop at nothing to get what they want. The players must navigate the dangerous world of corporate espionage while also battling the supernatural forces that threaten the town.

Chapter Two: The Old Mansion While investigating the fracking wells, the players come across an old mansion on the edge of town. The mansion has been abandoned for years, but rumors persist that it is haunted by the ghosts of its former occupants. The players decide to investigate, hoping to uncover clues that will help them solve the mystery of the fracking wells.

Inside the mansion, the players discover a secret laboratory hidden deep beneath the house. The laboratory was once used by a group of scientists to conduct experiments on the ancient magic that is said to be buried beneath the Bakken formation. The players must navigate the laboratory's traps and puzzles while also dealing with the ghosts that haunt the mansion.

Chapter Three: The Final Showdown After piecing together the clues they've uncovered, the players realize that the strange happenings at the fracking wells are being caused by an ancient magic that has been unleashed by the fracking process. The rival oil company has been using this magic to gain an unfair advantage over their competition, but in doing so they have unleashed a powerful force that threatens to destroy the town.

The players must confront the leaders of the rival oil company in a final showdown at the fracking wells. They will need to use all of their skills and abilities to defeat the company's mercenaries and shut down the fracking operation once and for all. Only by working together and using their wits can the players hope to save their town from destruction.

Will the players be able to stop the forces that threaten Blackstone, or will the town be destroyed by the ancient magic that has been unleashed? Only time will tell in the Williston Chronicles!
