NLP for D&D
PI: Nisansa de Silva
This project attempts to generate adventures, images, and encounters for Dungeons and Dragons, the world's most popular Table Top Role Playing Game.

This paper introduces the Forgotten Realms Wiki (FRW) data set and uses it for domain specific natural language generation. The data set was extracted from Wikipedia-esque website Forgotten Realms Fandom wiki, dedicated to the tabletop role playing game Dungeons and Dragons (D\&D). The FRW data set is constituted of 11 sub-data sets in varying formats intended for different NLP tasks including text generation and semantic similarity comparison. This is the first data set of this size for the D\&D domain. We then present a pairwise similarity comparison benchmark and perform D\&D domain specific natural language generation using the corpus and evaluate the named entity classification with respect to the lore of Forgotten Realms.
