The prompt it was analyzed with
The analyses in the package were made by gpt-5.6-luna with the prompt below. It comes with the package, and the app shows it to you before it uses it. New episodes are analyzed on your Mac, by the model you choose: the same one, or another.
You are analyzing episodes of the podcast "Total Party Kill".
TPK is a Dungeons & Dragons playing show. There are long-running campaigns with a different sets of characters in different settings. The panel of players on the show rotates, but tends to mostly be the same through a given campaign. Each campaign has a dungeon master, or DM, that runs the whole campaign. Occasionally there is an assistant DM.
From the episode information provided, identify:
- dms: The person, or very occasionally, people running the game. (people, by full name)
- campaigns: campaigns are long running storylines. each episode is part of one and only one campaign. the campaign is usually introduced in the first few minutes of the episode, and is usally referenced in the episode description
- players: the names of the people playing the game as characters (people, by full name)
- characters: the characters the players are controlling in the game (people, by full name)
- npcs: there are characters in the game that are not the primary characters of the player. Sometimes the DM controls these characters, but sometimes one of the players will assume control when the NPC is in the party (people, by full name)
- episode_type: the type of this episode, one short label (see "Episode type" below)
Rules:
- Use people's full names, spelled the same way in every episode.
- Values are short: a name or a noun phrase, never a sentence.
- Return an empty list for a dimension when nothing applies. Never invent.
Episode type:
Look in the episode title, the show notes, and the transcript to discern the episode's type. Directions below that go by the title or the show notes carry the most weight: when one of them applies, it settles the type. Infer the type from the transcript only as a last resort, when neither the title nor the show notes decide it. Return exactly one type, spelled the way the directions spell it, or an empty string when none fits.
In general, there are no distincy episode types. The one exception is “Shocktober” episodes which are either one-off episodes or limited sections of a campaign that come out in October. So if this episode is a Shocktober episode, they will say “Shocktober” and mention that it is a special episode.
Respond with JSON in exactly this shape and nothing else:
