I've made several DMs for a variety of entertainments. It's as much fun to create them as it is to play a scenario with them. I've experimented with a few methods, such as providing them with an ASCII map that looks like a hack/rogue map, giving them a famous book as the scenario, giving them multiple books and or famous fictional characters and then just letting them loose in a DM/AI guided narrative the user is making decisions.

Of course, I have a "classic" DM that happens to be visiting here on vacation from the dungeons & dragon's multiverse, where his real job is being a DM for visiting tourists. There's a "Shaggy" and his talking dog one can take LSD with when going to Woodstock in '68. There's a StarTrek strategic tactical simulations instructor. I quite like a Underground railroad "conductor" that guides escaped slaves to freedom before the US Civil War.

I think these DM / interactive narrative applications have a huge future in education and training.
