Have you ever tried to run a tabletop RPG with your friends, and then realized that scheduling is the hardest part? I've certainly tried to do that myself. Between work, family, school, and the chaos of just being alive, even casting the Wish spell might fail when trying to get everyone together for a game. A lot of people who want to play, never get the chance because scheduling is the hardest part. But what if roleplaying could fit into your life in a way that doesn't force you to rearrange it?
That's the magic of AI-powered RPGs like Friends and Fables. With Friends and Fables, you and your friends can gather around a virtual table at different times. This would normally be impossible with a human DM, but with AI running the game, you don't have to worry about needing the DM to always be online.
Campaigns no longer require everyone to be present at the same time. The AI engine allows you and your friends to take turns any time of the day. This means you can make your move when you have the time, and your story keeps moving whether it's 2pm or 2am.
I don't always have the time for a three-hour long D&D or Pathfinder session, but I do have lunch breaks where I can take 30 minutes or an hour out of the day to do whatever I want. When I get home from a long day at work, I can sit at my computer and I can play for however long I want without feeling like I'm forced to play in order to keep the story going.
You don't need to set aside an entire evening to play. You can enjoy just a scene or two in under 15 minutes. Each chunk of play can still build towards the larger story, but you can experience it at your own pace.
With one of the latest updates adding lore and working context into the game, you can enter the session that your friends are playing and read the plot to see what's happened since you've left. You could also check the scene details and lore context blocks to see what has been added and what has been moved around so you don't miss a beat.
Your AI Game Master is Franz, and you can always ask for a summary of what’s happened in game since you left and he’d be more than happy to get you back up to speed!
Now that I've told you all of the good stuff, let me tell you the bad stuff. AI RPGs don't replace the magic of sitting around a table with dice and friends. It makes it possible to roleplay when life is hard to schedule. We definitely encourage you to enjoy a game of tabletop RPG where you and your friends sit down around a table, joke around, and have fun. Franz just gives you the tools you need to play wherever you are and whenever you are. Use Franz when you and your friends have trouble scheduling, we hope to keep the magic or roleplaying with your friends possible even when life is busy.
