# Deep Dungeons and Dragons

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->

This dataset card aims to be a base template for new datasets. It has been generated using [this raw template](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/blob/main/src/huggingface_hub/templates/datasetcard_template.md?plain=1).

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

Deep Dungeons and Dragons

A dataset of long-form multi-turn and multi-character collaborative RPG stories, complete with associated character cards.

This dataset comprises of 56,000 turns in 1544 stories following 9771 characters: a total of 50M Llama tokens.
Each turn comprises a multi-paragraph continuation of a story from the perspective of a defined character including both dialogue and prose.

This dataset is a cleaned and reformatted version of Deep Dungeons and Dragons, originally released in 2018 by Annie Louis and Charles Sutton and comprising of transcripts collected from public games at roleplayerguild.com. We've removed images and links (as well as their references) from posts to make this a text-only dataset, as well as anonymising usernames - although this is still available in the original dataset.
