Dice Roost: a free virtual tabletop with AI-voiced NPCs (ttrpg.network)

Hi all,

Sharing Dice Roost, a free browser-based virtual tabletop for running tabletop RPG sessions online. No installs, just open a link and play.

A few things that make it a bit different: • AI-voiced NPCs: give an NPC a personality and let it actually talk back to your players during a scene, instead of you improvising every voice • Shared map with tokens, dice roller, character sheets, and session chat, all in one place • Built to be lightweight, easy to get a new group into with no learning curve

Still actively growing it and happy to answer any questions.

Going forward, I'd suggest reading the room better.

All of your marketing documents hype up the AI features to the exclusion of all else. If I were such a "puritan" and turned off all AI features what does dragons roost offer that DndBeyond, roll20 and Foundry do not?

The only thing I can see is that it's "free", but that's freeness that is built on the backs of the lives and livlihoods of thousands of people.

Sorry, what does even mean? Being free is already a significant incentive in itself. I hype AI features because, in my opinion, it's precisely the missing element in other systems. If you're a purist and feel my system offers nothing more, you're free to stick with your favorite sites. Instead, you could give me your idea of what others are truly lacking that I could offer, since that's exactly what I'm looking for: constructive feedback on what I could implement to help the community.
