Rolegend and LoreKeeper

LoreKeeper is built for a group playing live - up to six of you, synchronized turns, a voiced Game Master in the same room. Rolegend is built for one person playing alone, a few turns at a time, and does not attempt the group case at all.

What LoreKeeper is

LoreKeeper is an AI Game Master for tabletop roleplaying, made by a small indie team and in early-access beta. You create a character, pick or build a world, and play solo or with up to six friends in real time. It sells monthly subscriptions in euros and keeps a free tier with a daily turn allowance.

What LoreKeeper does better

• Playing with other people. Six players in real time with synchronized turns is their product and none of ours.
• Party Mode: one screen, a spoken Game Master, microphone input and dice everyone can watch. Rolegend has no audio and no shared session.
• Generated character portraits, which Rolegend does not produce as part of play.
• Playing in a language other than English.
• Group mechanics that only exist with a group - shared resources, voting and tracked relationships between player characters.

What Rolegend does differently

• One player, one story, start to finish. No multiplayer, no shared table, no party.
• Keystone Engine rolls every die on the server and owns hit points, inventory, conditions, spell slots, rests and experience. ROWAN is handed the result and writes what happened - it never touches a number and it cannot roll again.
• Canonical state lives in structured fields rather than in the transcript, so your sheet does not drift as the log gets long.
• Async play-by-post rather than a live session. Write a turn, come back tomorrow, pick it up mid-scene.
• Text only. No battle maps, no grid, no tokens - and movement, cover, flanking and opportunity attacks are not enforced.
• The coverage table at /rules-coverage says, section by section, which D&D 5e rules are enforced, partly enforced or left to the Game Master to adjudicate in prose. We would rather you read the gaps before you play than discover them.

The full account of which fifth edition rules our engine enforces, and which it does not, is at rules coverage.

Pick LoreKeeper if

• You have friends who want in. Six people in one campaign, in real time, is the thing Rolegend does not do.
• You want game night in a room: one screen, a Game Master with a voice, and everyone rolling together.
• You want to try it for nothing first - a free account with a daily turn allowance and no card.
• You want portraits of your character, generated as you go.
• You want to play in Spanish, Catalan or Portuguese rather than English.
• You want a world builder with genres, custom races and factions, and you want to publish what you make.

Pick Rolegend if

• You are playing alone by choice, and want a game designed around one player rather than a party game with the party missing.
• You want the numbers settled by code before any prose exists, and the split between the two written down rather than implied.
• You play in gaps rather than in evenings. Async play-by-post assumes you will vanish for a week and come back.
• You would rather read a dated, rule-by-rule list of what is enforced than find out during a fight.
• You do not need a map, a voice or a portrait, and would rather the game spend its effort on the sheet being right.
