Frequently Asked Questions

Turn-based games where players send moves and get results on a schedule, usually by email, instead of playing live online. Printed sheets and physical mail are still available when a Game Master turns them on.

Tools to design games, run them as a Game Master, and play them. Turns are processed automatically. Most play happens by email; paper is optional.

No. Games move on a turn schedule. You get a notice (usually by email), take your turn, and wait for the next one.

Find a game with open spots, join with your name and email, and get your turn sheets by email (or by post if that game allows it). No prior signup or login is required — you play from the links in those emails.

AI assists computer-opponent decision making when a computer opponent is chosen. A computer opponent is given no more information than any other player at the table, in the scene, or in the scenario would have about their opponents.

During the beta phase, art in the existing demo games is AI-produced. It is intended to be replaced by human-created art throughout. The platform owners are greatly concerned with the potential loss of human skills in writing and art and fully support efforts to curtail that loss. That said, while the platform is still heavily in development and changing often, paying professional artists cannot be justified — it is simply not affordable yet.

When the time comes, professional human-created art will replace the AI-generated art, and credit will be given where it is due. In the Designer Studio, uploaded art will include optional credits and artist links.
