Fireside Worlds
A text role-playing game narrated by AI, in persistent worlds where what you do stays done.
About
Fireside Worlds is a story game you play by typing what your character does. A rules engine keeps the world honest (who has what, who owes whom, what time it is); Claude tells the story.
Version 2 is a managed alpha at firesideworlds.com. Version 4, a full rebuild, is being built alongside it.
What it does
- Persistent characters and worlds.
- AI narration held to the rules by a referee engine.
- Maps and portraits.
- Subscriptions and credit packs.
What's next
- Version 4 replaces version 2.
- Open beta.
