Giant in the Playground (roleplaying subforums only)

A semi-cleaned, processed version of the raw files uploaded elsewhere of the roleplaying sections (Play-by-Post Games) from Giant in the Playground, scraped on January 2025. I've made an effort to preserve as much as possible of the original HTML while simplifying and converting it to HTML5 where possible and cleaning it, with the notable exception of converting HTML linebreaks into newlines.

I'm almost directly using these files for private finetuning tests, but in most cases the data will likely need additional cleaning/processing.

For user convenience, some metadata on the posts was also provided. These can be used for preliminary data filtering without deeply inspecting the threads themselves.

I might update the dataset in the future if/when I improve the format or cleaning process.

The entirety of the In-character, Structured Games and Free Form Roleplaying subforums from GitP, for a total of about 26k threads and 6.4 million messages. The latter two subforums are in the "Message Board Games" parquet file.

Usage notes and quirks

The thread messages-usernames-timestamps are encapsulated into ShareGPT-like JSON strings; one row per complete thread. They need to be converted into your preferred structure for further processing into a usable dataset for training.
Be aware that many threads in the dataset are very long (~1500 messages and several megabytes of data) and will need to be clipped in some sensible manner.
Most slurs in the dataset are censored with asterisks ("****") like they were in the source forum. This might or might not be a problem (however, a short 1-epoch finetuning test I made on a few thousands short samples didn't show this quirk).
Some of the very recent data dated "yesterday" or "today" might not have correct timestamps.
