Hey everyone, I wanted to share a passion project I’ve been working on. I run one shots regularly for different groups and hit a wall lately, I simply don't have the hours to plan out the clues and details every time for each of my ideas.
As a solo dev I decided to build a web app to solve my problem. I have been following the rules of the Alexandrian blog (great read!) for a long time now and am using them ever since I read about them. I wanted to make a system that also follows these rules and creates one shots based on my usual preperation processes.
HOW it works: You type in your raw story idea, setting, NPCs, Locations and twists and the tool structures it into a fully fleshed-out adventure module based a ton of tables I created and on the TTRPG design principles I use.
This is an actual node graph for a sci-fi horror adventure that I created with that tool.
These node graphs are used in the background to ensure that all the clues add up and the players do not get lost. This node based structure gets then poured into a pdf booklet that you can edit and download. The whole system doesn't follow a specific ruleset and does not provide any stats or difficulties for roles. That is something the dm has to handle.
Example booklet cover page of a fantasy heist
How you can try it: You can just type in your prompt on the landing page to start. The first full booklet is completely on me. Check it out at: AdventureEngine(dot)app
I’d absolutely love to get your honest feedback on the structure of the generated PDFs. What features are you missing for your prep?
Aye, seen Titanic SOS recently? Servers of 20 people, each walking around not speaking, roleplaying, nothing? And the only people with avatars are just 3 Murdoch's trying to make money releasing lifeboats carelessly? Tired of that and want to join an actual server with a decent amount of role-players with designated roles, lines, and avatars? Well come join Apex Maritime. An upcoming roleplay server that wants to create and host constant, and high quality roleplay events as much as possible to make TSOS fun again. We are a nice, exciting, and welcoming community. We are upcoming, and once we reach 50 members will host our first roleplay. We want to do: Roleplays, sign up roleplays (very serious), events, game nights, etc. We have also been working on a TSOS movie, for a few reasons, for the fun, for the game, and for the community. If you would like to consider joining, and help us reach 50 members. Dm me!
