SkyrimNet GameMaster

The GameMaster system in SkyrimNet enables dynamic, AI-driven scene narration, ambient storytelling, and autonomous world control. It acts as a virtual Dungeon Master, capable of responding to gameplay events or narrating scenes based on recent context.

Core GameMaster Capabilities

✅ GameMaster Enabled

• Purpose: Activates the entire GameMaster system.
• Effect: Without this enabled, all GM-driven prompts, narration, and LLM injections are disabled.

✅ GameMaster Agent Enabled

• Purpose: Enables autonomous scene generation, allowing the AI to narrate or drive scenes independently.
• Effect: When active, the AI can inject scene descriptions, reactions, or environmental storytelling without player input.

🧩 GameMaster Use Cases

• 🎭 Dynamic RP Scenes: Narrate what NPCs do, describe environments, or inject ambient activity like weather changes.
• 📚 Narrative Control: Serve as an invisible narrator that weaves stories between gameplay events.
• 👁 Off-screen Worldbuilding: Have the GameMaster suggest things happening outside the player’s direct view.
• ⌨️ Player-Directed Scenes: Manually inject actions, plot twists, or scene changes using text or voice input.

How It Works Internally

• The system pulls in recent events (GameMaster Recent Events Count) and scans the surrounding area (Nearby Actor Radius).
• Using a templated LLM prompt, it creates a scene narration or environmental update.
• If GameMaster Agent is enabled, this happens automatically at intervals (respecting cooldowns).
• In Continuous Mode, narration flows rapidly with very short delays for RP-heavy segments.

✅ Tips for Use

• Use F3 to toggle auto-mode when you want quiet periods or direct control.
• Activate F10 (continuous) during immersive scenes, like rituals, boss fights, or romantic interludes.
• Combine with Insert input to inject surprises or react to roleplay manually.
• Use small cooldowns (e.g., 6s) only during focused storytelling, not during combat or exploration.
