Collection of resources and models for storytelling and roleplay. Updated Mar 2025.

Some notes on best usage:

• dont waste time on sampler settings; use recommended and optimize the prompt
• don't "overparameterize" by writing too long a prompt
• model size/intelligence is important but they are just mimics, the dataset is very important
