No. TableForge handles all the rules automatically. If you want to learn what's happening under the hood, our Primer explains dice, ability scores, combat, and spells in plain language.
How do I start a campaign?
Sign up for free, create a character, and start a new campaign. The AI Dungeon Master takes it from there. You can invite friends or play solo.
Is TableForge free?
Yes — the free tier gives you the full product for 30 DM narration turns (roughly one session). After that, paid plans start at $9.99/mo. The host subscribes; guests play free. See pricing.
Rules & Mechanics
What ruleset does TableForge use?
The SRD 2024 (5e), published under Creative Commons by Wizards of the Coast. We use a dedicated rules engine — not the AI — to adjudicate combat, spells, conditions, and dice rolls. This means consistent, correct rulings every time.
Can the AI make mistakes with the rules?
The rules engine is programmatic, not LLM-based. Dice rolls, HP tracking, spell slot management, condition application, and combat resolution are all handled by code. The AI narrates; the engine adjudicates.
Can I use homebrew content?
Not yet. We're focused on getting the core SRD 2024 experience right first. Homebrew support is on the roadmap.
Multiplayer
How many players can join a campaign?
Up to 6, depending on your plan. Free supports 2 players; Fellowship supports 4; Legendary supports 6.
Can we play at different times?
Yes. TableForge supports both real-time and async play. Take your turn whenever you can — the DM holds the thread until everyone has acted.
Does each player need a subscription?
No. The host subscribes; everyone else joins for free.
The AI Dungeon Master
How is this different from ChatGPT / AI Dungeon?
Two things: (1) a separate programmatic rules engine that handles all 5e mechanics without relying on the LLM, and (2) persistent cross-session memory that tracks NPCs, plot threads, promises, and consequences across your entire campaign.
Does the AI remember what happened in previous sessions?
Yes. Campaign memory is persistent and comprehensive — NPCs, locations, player decisions, quest state, and narrative threads all carry forward.
Can I go off-script?
Absolutely. There is no script. The AI follows your lead. Befriend the villain, burn the map, ignore the quest — your choices become canon.
