I am a poor guy from the global south, so no fancy models like ChatGPT and Claude for me. I just try to make the most of smaller local models.
**These are the settings I use for SillyTavern, and what I test all my character cards with.** Want to know more about why I set things up the way I do? Check out my guides page.

## Game Master System Prompt and Template
**Tested With:** Mistral Small Instruct 2501 and Cydonia V2
This is my personal collection of prompts that I've built through multiple roleplaying sessions, trying to find the right words that fixes my annoyances while keeping it scenario agnostic and the token count efficient.
A bloated system prompt makes it less effective in my experience, so there are some differences in how my template handles example messages and the information inside the characters and lorebooks compared to most other templates.
I am starting to be satisfied with how it plays my cards, that's why I am sharing it, but consider it an work in progress, I'm constantly testing and tweaking things to make it better — and sometimes worse, so I need to go back some revisions from time to time.
> [!NOTE]
> **How It Works:** With this prompt, the model acts as a narrator/game master rather than playing a specific character. This means it naturally detaches from the character and introduces more NPCs in your RP if the situation calls for it. Another perk of this approach is that it handles any scenario or multi-character cards, as smoothly as any single-character card, without additional prompting.
> [!NOTE]
> **But There’s a Catch!** It won't work as you expect with SillyTavern's Group Chat feature, it has no concept of separate characters, and it will play as the Game Master every turn, controlling all the characters at once. It's not a bug, it's a feature... Or a consequence of how I wrote it.
> If you want to chat with multiple characters, your best bet is to make a new card that combines them or use the Group Chat feature with `Join character cards` enabled and only one card unmuted, so it can play for all of them — trust me, it works way better than wrestling with the Group function.
> If having one character speaking for all of them confuses you, or breaks your immersion or something, make an empty card to be the Narrator, add it to the group, and leave only it unmuted.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Important:** My template uses Example Messages in the way SillyTavern intended, by making the AI think it's writing them. While Example Messages are not required for any character to work with my prompt, make sure that `Example Messages Behavior` is set to `Always include examples` or `Gradual push-out` in your settings, or they won't be sent even for those who have them. Some templates will tell you to disable it, so keep an eye on that.

## Jailbreak for Gemma 2 9B IT
This tricks Gemma 2, every turn, into thinking it refused to continue roleplaying due to inappropriate content, and that you have made it agree to it, so that it can always write completely unhinged. These `disregard`s are the locks I was able to find, if it refuses something you are trying to do — maybe you have a more fucked up mind than mine and were able to find something else that it refuses to write about — try adding it to the list of disregards, and send me an email with your findings.
> [!NOTE]
> Curious about how and why it works? What else you can do with it? Check out my guides page, I talk about it there.
**Instruct Template:**
Select `Gemma 2` and set `Last Assistant Prefix` to:
```markdown

Understood.

## Banned Tokens
> [!NOTE]
> **How to Use:** Copy and paste the list into the ` Banned Tokens/Strings` section of your `AI Response Configuration` window.
> [!IMPORTANT]
**Important:** You will need to use KoboldCPP for the Banned Tokens to work as intended. It makes the model backtrack when it tries to write certain phrases. I mainly use this to *unslop* the models. Check out my guides if you are interested in how it works.

## What I'm Using
### Software
- **KoboldCPP:** https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp — My backend of choice, use it to load the AI models.
- **SillyTavern:** https://github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern — My frontend of choice, the bridge between you and the AI model. Load your characters in it, connect to KoboldCPP and start chatting.
- **MikuPad:** https://lmg-anon.github.io/mikupad/mikupad.html — Need to talk directly to the model without characters and system prompts in the way? Use this. I use it all the time to test how the model talks and responds to prompts on its own, and what it can or can't do.
- **ComfyUI:** https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI / https://github.com/ltdrdata/ComfyUI-Manager — My image generation software of choice. Node based, not really beginner friendly, but it's pretty powerful, you have control over every single generation step.
### Text Generation Models
1. **Mistral Small 24B Instruct 2501:** https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-Small-24B-Instruct-2501 — Are these Small models really 20B? They feel much smarter than they should. But the prose is pretty bland, and it needs a well-thought-out prompt to RP well. This is my daily driver, but people say that the 2501 version is bad at creative tasks, so you may find that going back to the 2409 version is better.
2. **Cydonia 24B v2:** https://huggingface.co/TheDrummer/Cydonia-24B-v2 — The most popular small model for roleplaying, you can't go wrong with it.
3. **Cydonia-v1.2-Magnum-v4-22B:** https://huggingface.co/knifeayumu/Cydonia-v1.2-Magnum-v4-22B — Magnum V2 and V3 were great models, while V4 was kind of a miss. But for some reason, merging it with Cydonia made Cydonia even better? Go figure.
4. **Gemma 2 9B IT:** https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-9b-it — It's an impressive model, has a fantastic prose for such a small size, feels better than even 12B models. But it's pretty censored by default, you'll need to jailbreak it for not-so-wholesome RPs. And don't go beyond 12K context, the model will break.
5. **MN 12B Mag Mell R1:** https://huggingface.co/inflatebot/MN-12B-Mag-Mell-R1 — Best 12B model for RP to date, imo, as smart as a 12B Mistral based model can be.
6. **Wayfarer 12B:** https://huggingface.co/LatitudeGames/Wayfarer-12B — Curious model, not the best for general RP, but shines if you like the AI Dungeon format, it was trained for that.
### Image Generation Models
1. **NoobAICyberFix:** https://civitai.com/models/913998/noobaicyberfix — My favorite model right now. NoobAI is one of the latest efforts for anime-style, could easily replace Pony as the standard. This CyberFix makes it easier to work with.
