Rolegend and AI Realm

AI Realm is the quickest way to be playing and the most editable game in the category: you can change anything, including your own stats. On Rolegend a game engine keeps the numbers, the Virtual Tabletop shows the fight, and friends join your table.

What AI Realm is

AI Realm is a browser-based AI Game Master, installable as a phone app, built around a chat window with a structured Notes system holding the campaign. It offers a choice of narration models, built-in portraits and scene art, text to speech, and small-group multiplayer. Its rules content is drawn from the 2014 fifth edition SRD.

What we could verify

  • It describes itself as a platform for "D&D 5e inspired adventures" built on the foundation of D&D 5e SRD (2014) content, and carries its own disclaimer of affiliation with the game and its publisher on the same page. (source, checked )
  • The homepage advertises 29 storytelling AI models and three custom image generators, with campaign tracking handled automatically. (source, checked )
  • Multiplayer exists but is bounded: the Player's Guide says you and up to three friends can play together depending on your plan, and that multiplayer sessions use the default fantasy setting of Al'Mundi rather than a world you choose. (source, checked )
  • Solo play is not limited to fantasy. The world settings are the built-in Al'Mundi, a Cyberpunk Mystery branch with ten settings, or a custom world you describe in free text and can have the AI expand. (source, checked )
  • Dice are rolled from the character sheet by the player: clicking a stat, skill or attack rolls 3D dice, calculates the total including modifiers, formats a message describing the roll, and inserts it into the chat ready for you to send. (source, checked )
  • Character numbers are editable throughout. Stats are rolled from 3 to 18 or typed in by hand, HP has no range limit, and the guide states you can manually change any stat or ability after creation, as often as you like. (source, checked )
  • Memory is something you curate. The guide calls the Notes system the AI's long-term memory and says that as a general rule, if it is not in your Notes the AI will eventually forget it. (source, checked )
  • That memory is capped by plan. The V2 Guide publishes a table of context limits across Free, Bronze, Platinum, Emerald and Obsidian, starting at 70,000 characters of shared context and 25 NPC cards per chat on the free plan. (source, checked )
  • The published roadmap, last updated 30 October 2026, lists two items in the works at roughly a month out: an NPC card overhaul, and a Combat Mode that adds a virtual tabletop combat experience to games. (source, checked )

What AI Realm does better

  • Choice of narrator. 29 storytelling models, switchable mid-campaign, so you can pick the voice you like.
  • Choosing the voices yourself. Text to speech narration with custom voices for the Game Master and individual characters.
  • Worlds beyond fifth-edition fantasy today. Cyberpunk settings, or any world you can describe in a paragraph.
  • Authorial control. You can edit the Game Master's replies and set any stat by hand.
  • Portraits at character creation.

What Rolegend does differently

  • Keystone Engine is a game engine, built apart from the AI. It handles the dice and the game state. Every roll, modifier, hit point, condition, spell slot and item is settled before ROWAN writes a word, and ROWAN gets on with the story. ROWAN cannot change a number or roll again. When your character acts, the game hands you the die to roll, and Keystone Engine adds the modifiers from your sheet.
  • Your character sheet and the world are stored as structured data, not text the model has to remember, so nothing drifts over a long campaign.
  • We implement the System Reference Document 5.1 under CC BY 4.0, with the attribution in full at /legal/attribution.
  • Play with friends or solo. A paid host seats up to 6 players at one table, the host included, and friends on the free plan can join. Each player plays their own character. When everyone is online you can play live, and the table updates every few seconds. When they are not, play async play-by-post and drop in whenever you want. In a fight each player acts on their character's turn, and an email says when the table waits for you. Alone, the paid party holds up to 6 characters that you play yourself, and the Game Master plays the companions who join you on the road; the free plan is a single character. The host picks the language that the Game Master narrates in, its tone and the length of its replies.
  • Rolegend's Virtual Tabletop puts a fight on a battle map, with a token for every hero and every enemy, and you drag yours to move. Keystone Engine enforces movement, difficult terrain, cover, line of sight, opportunity attacks, flanking, weapon ranges and light there, and the fog of war hides anything your character cannot see. Every player at the table moves on the same map. Between fights, the map shows the region and the lay of the land in each place. A quick scuffle can also stay in the story, with no map at all.
  • On the paid plan, any Game Master turn can be read aloud, with a narrator voice and a voice of its own for each character who speaks, and you can turn on reading each new reply aloud. One click paints a scene image for a turn or a portrait of your character. You can dictate your own turn on either plan, in a browser with speech recognition (Chrome, Edge and Safari).
  • Async play-by-post. Write a turn, close the tab, and come back to a campaign exactly where you left it.

Pick AI Realm if

  • You want to be playing in two minutes, on your phone, without reading anything first.
  • You care which model is doing the narration and want to change it whenever you like.
  • You want to play cyberpunk, or a world out of a book you love, today.
  • You want to edit the Game Master's message or your sheet directly.
  • You want to choose the voices yourself.

Pick Rolegend if

  • You want to roll your own die and have the engine add the modifiers before a word of narration exists, so the story has to work with whatever you rolled.
  • You would rather not curate the AI's memory yourself. Structured state is kept for you, and it does not fall out of context.
  • You want to see the battle on a Virtual Tabletop, with fog of war that follows what your character can really see.
  • You want to play with friends who drop in whenever they want, or alone at your own pace.
  • You want to read which rules are enforced before you start a character, published section by section and dated.
