Concept — not built yet
A written RPG, run by an AI

A Game Master who doesn't cheat the rules.

Ashbound tells the story with AI — but never lets it decide alone whether you succeed. The dice actually land. The pack on your back is real. And your friends play at your table without pulling out a card.

Keep me posted Discord ashbound.c

One line is enough. Nothing to pay, nothing to sign up for.

What we've lived through elsewhere

The scenery's there. The rules aren't.

TURN 22 The NPC we killed shows back up to apologize for attacking us.
INVENTORY We sold the axe. It's still in the bag.
DICE ROLL Lockpicking succeeded. The door stays shut. No reason given.
THE BILL Playing with four friends means paying for four subscriptions.
What we're building

Three things that don't move, even when the AI improvises everything else.

01

The die decides, not the vibe

Every roll is calculated before the AI writes a word. It finds out the outcome the same moment you do — it can't rewrite it afterward to make the story prettier.

02

Your character, your call

You only choose for yours. The GM waits until the whole table has decided, then narrates everyone's actions together — like a real GM watching the whole table.

03

The bag doesn't lie

What you pick up stays in your inventory, weight and value included, session after session. Nobody has to remember it in the game's place.

How it works

One table, one subscription.

You pay for your table. Up to four friends join your game for free — they never need to pull out a card, just your invite link.

A first look

Here's roughly what it could look like.

scene in progress — turn 7

Wind drags dust across the wreckage littering the road. Three shapes rise from behind a burnt-out hulk. Metal groans under your boots — there's nowhere to hide for long.

Ashbound doesn't exist yet.

This page exists to find out if it's worth building. Working codename, setting and system still unwritten. If the idea speaks to you — or leaves you cold — say so.
