Tried two different quick start campaigns in the program. The first one the program had failing 17 rolls in a row. The second one the program had me fail 47 rolls in a row - every action taken is DC 15-18. The way the game approaches rng is obsurd even for D&D. Survivability of any event being a 15 or higher on the dice. And randomly the program will just delete what you just wrote as a response and have you just instantly die disregarding what was posted and letting enemies have multiple turns of attacks against you in a row.

Gave it a try, kinda funny at first....I was in a bar/coffee shop....I was a merc my date did not show up....so i talked to the barmaid.....i tried to "make friends" I failed a Charasma check 5 times and got hit over the head (she hit me with a pitcher) lost half my hps.......then i pulled her into my lap and kissed her......and then ran out of time(credits)..... I will say what happened to my guy was amusing...but to not to have enough time to actualy play.....having to wait 2 hrs before (get more credsits) can do anything else.....makes it not worth playing..

it's an idea that has to be perfected by someone at some point, but this isn't it. The free/cheap AI models are not good enough yet it seems. The game doesn't create extra value as an LLM wrapper. The ai behind this can't keep up a conversation over 5 requests or a combat with more that one enemy. The rolls system just don't let you do anything, all difficulties are 15-18 range. So you have about 10-25% to complete any action. It's adding anti-user RNG where it doesnt belong

--no longer valid see below ... I have played this a fair bit and I like where it Could go. I've been playing the bannerlords adventure, and I have been enjoying how things are unfolding. the AI seems to keep a REASONABLE grip on the story thread, though I have noticed a few instances where it makes changes that are either a retcon or a complete skip of details. I'll likely keep playing occassionally with the 50/day free stuff, but I can't justify a $15 subscription. -- see below.. *EDIT* on further playing, I have decide I can no longer recommend this game. The AI is entirely to unstable on story elements. I have started multiple new games, and within an hour it is already making ridiculous errors, like having NPC conversate from across the map, moving NPC randomly to new locations, Giving NPCs control of areas they have no business being (Greta owns all the Taverns), Killing NPCs without any direction to do so, and soldiers dissappearing from the roster for now reason. It almost seems like it has a problem updating it's data file.

Not gonna fleece me with this AI slop

The game is pretty good if you understand what it is and what it can do, for people like me that come from sillytaven and AIdungeon, this one has a lot of stuff that we wanted, diferent in a way but it does what promised well. Something to keep in mind, while some people may not like to pay a sub or for tokens, we have to understand that for games like these, the use for online models that can be, fast, good and realiable enough cost money, there is no way to offer a one time deal on this, best you can do to source it all yourself is to check on discord how to use your own local model, but honestly you would need a really beefy computer to even try to have a good experience, and I'm talking of having real computational power and vram, not just having something like a 4070ti like me, hopefully we can get better models for cheaper in the future, but for now this is what we have. There is a learning curve, I really reccomend cheking the tutorial videos provided, even if you come from sillytavern, AIdungeon or Talemate, please check them out, they will make the experience a lot smoother. A special point I like from this one in particular is that you can basically build a whole campain/world and define almost every little aspect of it, from places to lore, item, people and places have history, so they keep track of actual relevant data, like a big incident or help you keep some things in consideration, not so long ago factions and relatinoships where added, something amazing to play with, you can make characters have relationships and develop them, manually or the AI can update them as you play. there is a date feature so there is a clear definition of then stuff happened and what time is now, so for context you can keep track of it and so the AI, I find this really useful for long plays, so there is a sence of progression, more if you are playing a more long run play, this is also amazing for people that like to keep logs, the history part can tell what has been happening on the world and what past event happened, letting you flesh even more the lore of the world. Unlike Aidungeon, here battles are more party oriented, is not one entity versus another entity with other people maybe involving, on battle the enemies are individually tracked so is your party, each one roll separately, of course you can try coordinated stuff, but each ones is tracked separately as an entity, there is also lethal and non lethal damage, so not every battle mean death for the npcs. Honestly I really reccomend to give it a try, they offer some free interactions a day so peple can check it out, also the dev is really helpful and friendly, usually he deal with bugs and fix them in a day or less, he really take into consideration suggestions and explain things with honesty. Important to say, you can get your own free Gemini Api key, is not hard, and is a good option to play for free, of course the paid models are a lot better, but that is another topic, if you want to play more for free, just check the free api key anyone can generate from gemini

So the game locks up after you use it for awhile (I think 40 prompts allowed?) then you can buy "credits" or pay 30 bucks a month for unlimited access. I already was using Microsofts copilot to run a walking dead dnd campaign for just me and thats 100% free, can do all the same features (and in alot of cases better). I think this was a very cool concept but the insane cost for use when theres better and free ai already out there makes me have to say nah to this.

I've now played this game for about 10 hours at the time of this review and i cannot accurately state how awesome this game has been. It has both scratched my need to no longer be the forever DM, something i've been since 2018, but has also done the TTRPG feeling i've been wanting for awhile now. To give a little blurb about what had happened in the game im playing now. I chose the Space starter prompt and fed it some fun little things about my character who is a Bounty Hunter. He wears Clone Wars era armour Has a custom DL-44 Blaster Is a Space Elf I've given him Mandalorian style personality in my writing and dialogue for him My first start im infront of a bar and theres this bouncer in the way. I tell him to move he disagreed and shot me. I shot back and missed so i elbowed him in the face Told him to back down, he shot me again. I took exception to that and fired twice at his face. He went down Turned out he had a bounty on him so I wrapped him up in capture wire. I then walked into the bar where my main target was that i was actually hunting. Target saw me and tried to bolt out of the bar. I took exception to that Shot my capture wire out of my gauntlet and rolled a NAT 20 and captured him instantly. Left a tip for the nice bartender lady saying I was sorry for the disturbance. Took both of them to my ship Told the corporation i had the guy they were looking for on my ship They took exception to that and shot me I got the hell out of there. That was four hours of the best fun i had in a DnD game in a long time. I cannot stress how highly I would recommend this game to either of tww major camps 1: The forever DM's who do not get to play games all that often or if at all. 2: The people who have wanted to try DnD or TTRPG's but don't have or know anyone who can run the game.
