Friends & Fables

Friends & Fables is an AI-powered text RPG platform inspired by Dungeons & Dragons 5e. Its AI Game Master, Franz, narrates your campaign, voices the NPCs and adjudicates the rules while you and up to five friends adventure together.

Overview

The platform combines three things that are usually separate: an AI dungeon master, a full world-building toolkit, and a virtual tabletop with tactical 5e combat. You can jump into thousands of player-made worlds or build your own, complete with lore, quests, NPCs and battlemaps that the AI learns and weaves into play. Campaigns support solo play, live multiplayer and asynchronous sessions, and Franz’s long-term memory keeps characters, inventory and story threads consistent across sessions.

Key Features

• AI Game Master Franz, who narrates, roleplays NPCs and reacts to player choices in real time
• World-building tools: map makers, character generators and lore the AI instantly learns
• Tactical turn-based 5e combat with battlemaps, spells, abilities and monsters
• Hand-crafted quests and one-shot adventures with branching paths and dynamic outcomes
• Multiplayer parties of up to 6 players; guests play free on the host’s plan
• Text-to-speech narration with distinct character voices
• AI image generation for characters, locations and items

💳 Pricing

Who Is It For

Friends & Fables is built for tabletop RPG fans who cannot always get a group together, solo players who want a real campaign instead of a chat toy, and world builders who want their settings to come alive under an AI Game Master.
