## What is RoleForge?
RoleForge is a web-based AI Game Master platform for solo and multiplayer RPG
play. Two fantasy rulesets are live today — d20 Fantasy and Old School Fantasy —
with Sci-Fi, Horror, and more genres on the roadmap. Real dice mechanics ensure
the AI narrates outcomes but does not determine them. The platform features persistent "living worlds" that
remember player choices, NPC relationships, and consequences across sessions.
Think of it as the persistence of an MMO with the deep role-playing of a
tabletop RPG — powered by an AI Game Master so you can play anytime.

## Current Status
RoleForge is in alpha. Solo play is available now with multi-character parties
and AI mercenaries. Hand-drawn maps with fog of war, tactical grid combat, and
token movement are core features available to all tiers. Co-op multiplayer,
illustrated chronicles, and other features are on the roadmap. RoleForge works on desktop,
tablet, and mobile browsers, with native iOS and Android apps planned. The
product is being actively tested and updated in 2026 with regular changelog
entries on the public roadmap.

## How It's Different
RoleForge uses real rulesets with deterministic dice mechanics — the AI
narrates but never overrides game rules. Unlike freeform AI storytelling
tools (AI Dungeon, NovelAI), outcomes are decided by dice and rules, not by
the AI. Unlike platforms that require a human GM, RoleForge provides an AI
Game Master so you can play anytime. The platform features persistent living
worlds with full NPC memory and consequence tracking — the kind of world
persistence MMO players love, with the deep role-playing freedom of a
tabletop RPG. Built for the ~$2.15B global TTRPG market and the growing solo
RPG audience that current AI tools underserve.
