This is one reason I wanted to get into LLMs DND stuff. I've tried virtual DMs and they suck due to hallucinations.

Never tried the opposite. Would be interesting to DM and have the LLM be 4 players.

One thing I learned is that you can't rely on an inventory system (there's no persistence), so you're basically always running a oneshot campaign no matter what. After the novelty wore off, I found that quite boring and just played DND on tabletop sim or roll20 with discord friends instead.

I was wondering if I could setup a external yaml file for the pipeline to take notes and reload to help persistence issues.

I've never tried something like that, but even if you do remind the party what they have equipped or in reserve, they'll just make items up. It's frustrating.
