• Abstract: The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has enabled a new paradigm for bridging authorial intent and player agency in interactive narrative. We consider this paradigm through the example of Dramamancer, a system that uses an LLM to transform author-created story schemas into player-driven playthroughs. This extended abstract outlines some design techniques and evaluation considerations associated with this system.

  multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made significant strides by training on vast high-quality image-text datasets.
