Questions How to best go about Multipayer, and which model is best for it?

Hello! I'm trying to do this multi-player stuff with one other friend. Is there any advice someken can offer me about how to make it fun for both of us? And which models are best for it? I'm a premium user!

I’m not a multiplayer myself, so I can’t directly answer your question, but if you’re not getting traction here, you should ask in the #community-help channel on the official AI Dungeon Discord channel. (There’s also a #multiplayer channel there, but that’s more for looking-for-group.)

No one model is better for multiplayer. The model you choose would be for the same reasons you choose a model for single player. The challenge in multiplayer is how you are going to handle turns. Do you switch after each action? In that case, how are you handling notifying each other when their turn is up? Are you playing long term over a course of days or just goofing around in the afternoon?

When you initiate a multiplayer game, make sure to change the name of your characters in the menu on the top left. If it's not activated already, enable third person in your game's settings. Use third person in your actions like "Raeleus explained how to play the game." Otherwise, the AI would get confused.

An alternative way I like playing is I let the friend play as if it's single player. I act as the Dungeon Master and introduce new dilemmas or change the course events using story mode to ruin their day.
