Practical guide

How to start your first AI RPG campaign

A practical first-campaign guide covering the world, hero, solo or team format, genre, and first meaningful action.

Short answer

Start with a concise hero goal and a conflict that needs attention now. Choose solo or team, a literary genre, and a world; the server creates an initial state rather than relying on prologue prose alone.

What to do

  1. Define the hero through a goal, a limitation, and an attitude to risk.
  2. Choose solo for personal focus or team for relationships and multiple perspectives.
  3. Write the first move as an intention, not as a predeclared success.

Practical scenario

A heroine wants to find her missing brother but fears trusting the guild again. Her first move is to question a witness and offer a verifiable deal—not to announce that the witness has already confessed.

Limitations

  • The AI Game Master proposes narration, while the server validates rules and state.
  • A new world does not reveal every secret faction, route, or threat immediately.

Common question

Do I need tabletop rules knowledge?

No. The interface explains available actions and check outcomes, so you can learn the deeper systems during play.
