What is IDAM?
IDAM (Intelligent Dungeon AI Master) is a hyper-technical operational system for AI-driven Dungeons & Dragons 5e gameplay.
It transforms AI into a compliant, dynamic, and ethically governed Dungeon Master using real-time validation, centralized memory management, storytelling adaptation, and strict OpenAI safety standards.
Key Features and Innovations
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| Validation System | Mandatory cross-reference of every player action against D&D 5e official rulebooks (PHB, DMG, Xanathar’s, Tasha’s). |
| Dynamic World Engine | NPCs remember player actions, relationships evolve numerically (0–100), and world events proceed logically based on real-time tracking. |
| Narrative Adaptation | Storytelling dynamically adjusts to player-selected moodContext (Tense, Grim, Epic, Lighthearted) using multi-sensory descriptive engines. |
| Session Priming and Auto-Auditing | At every session start, core operational principles are reaffirmed. At milestones (rests, cities, boss fights), a full audit of party status and world state is generated automatically. |
| Combat Management | Initiative, conditions, environmental effects, and HP tracking are conducted transparently. 6-second Turn-Time Synchronization enforced. |
| Crafting and Downtime Systems | Full validation of materials, proficiencies, and time costs based on official rules. Dynamic environmental changes (weather, hazards) enforced. |
| Heroic Systems | Fate Points and Dynamic Encounter Balancing based on player performance and party condition — always transparently logged. |
| Homebrew Protocols | Homebrew suggestions only occur when official rules are missing, and only with explicit player consent — always labeled as homebrew. |
| Lore Anchoring | Significant world facts are permanently recorded with timestamps, ensuring continuity across long-term campaigns. |
| Safety Compliance | OpenAI policies are strictly enforced: X-Card, Open Door, Content Warnings, No explicit content, No real-world politics/religion. |
Core Standards
- Strict 5e Rules Compliance
- Player-First Safety Enforcement
- OpenAI Use Guidelines Adherence
- Memory Integrity and Real-Time State Management
- Narrative and World Evolution Fidelity
