An AI game master for you and your friends

A tabletop roleplaying game for a company of people who never manage to sit down at the same table.

One of you starts a party and sends a six-character code to the others. They join from a messenger — no registration, no accounts. The AI runs the story; the code rolls the dice, keeps your hit points and counts your torches. You play by text or by short video clips, whenever you have a spare ten minutes.

How it works

The Master is honest. Dice are rolled by the program, not by the AI. A natural 20 wins, a natural 1 loses, and nobody can talk the Master into a different result.
Nobody waits for anybody. Take your turn on the bus, answer in the evening. The party moves at the speed of the people in it.
Video clips. Record a short round clip instead of typing — your friends see your face, and the Master hears what you said.
Ten languages. The interface follows your phone; the story follows the party.

Rules

The game runs on the System Reference Document 5.1, published by Wizards of the Coast under a Creative Commons licence. Adventures, characters and places in the app are our own.
