Pull up a chair at any hour. LoreWeaver narrates each scene, plays every NPC, rolls checks against the DCs you set, and carries what you did on night three into night thirty, in a D&D-style campaign or a homebrew world of your own.

Success
Dungeon master
Your fingers find the old mortar. Over the parapet, Countess Vey is waiting, still wearing the ash of the chapel you burned.
The short answer
Yes. LoreWeaver works as an AI dungeon master for solo play: it narrates each scene, plays every NPC, and keeps the campaign in memories, recaps, and lore cards, so a villain you crossed on the second night still remembers it on the twentieth. Its Loom engine rolls dice in standard notation against a DC you set, and it can keep hit points, quests, and loot on screen. Solo campaigns are free to start: the free plan has unlimited replies from the free storyteller plus 25 premium replies a day.

Inside a campaign
The storyteller plays the Gallows Wood with the open quest, your last stealth roll, your hit points, and an old grudge all in view. Nothing needs explaining again before the next scene.
The Gallows Wood · Midnight
Maren
“Douse the lantern. Vey’s riders sweep this wood at midnight, and after what we did to her chapel, she will not settle for a ransom.”
Running the table
Memory
Spare the bandit captain and she may return with a debt to settle. Burn the granary and the village remembers whose torch it was. Memories and a running recap carry the campaign, so night thirty still knows what you did on night three.
Lore
Gods, guilds, towns, and old wars live on lore cards that join the scene when they are named. Pin the few that belong in every scene, like the curse your party carries.
Dice
Loom threads roll dice in standard notation, from 1d20+5 to 4d6 keep the highest three, against a DC you set. Success, failure, and criticals each steer the scene, and every roll appears on screen.
Trackers
Stat meters show health, mana, gold, or reputation beside the story. A quest log ticks off objectives, and an inventory holds the keys and potions you pick up along the way.
The Loom
Write threads with conditions: when the party enters the crypt, the lich wakes; when you break the oath, the temple bells fall silent. They fire mid-scene, so the world moves without being asked.
Notes
Leave the storyteller a session note, such as “the innkeeper works for the cult,” and it reads that note on every turn, playing each scene with the secret in mind.
Dice the Loom understands
Every check names its dice and a difficulty class. The Loom rolls, compares the total to the DC, and hands the storyteller one of four outcomes: critical success, success, failure, or critical failure.
A natural maximum that meets the DC counts as a critical success, and a natural 1 that misses it counts as a critical failure, so a lucky climb and a disastrous one play out differently.
| Notation | What it rolls | At the table |
|---|---|---|
| 1d20+5 | One twenty-sided die, plus 5 | An attack roll or a skill check |
| 2d6 | Two six-sided dice, added | Damage from a shortsword |
| 4d6kH3 | Four dice, keep the highest three | Rolling ability scores |
| 2d20kH1 | Two dice, keep the higher | A roll with advantage |
| 2d20kL1 | Two dice, keep the lower | A roll with disadvantage |
| d100 | One hundred-sided die | A random encounter or a wild magic table |

Make your hero
Save them as a persona with a name, a portrait, and a description that holds their class, stats, and backstory. The same hero can walk into any campaign.

Install Loom templates such as Skill Checks, Health System, and Quest Tracker in one click, then write your house rules into the world’s style rules.
Play and return
Memories and a running recap carry the campaign from one night to the next. Branch before a risky fight to try another plan without losing the first.
Solo campaign hooks
“I wake in the hold of a slaver ship with a stranger’s signet ring on my finger and no memory of the night before.”
“Our company lost the war. Four of us are left, crossing enemy country on foot with the general’s body.”
“The notice board has one job left: escort a sealed coffin north, and do not open it.”
“I am the court wizard’s apprentice, and this morning the court wizard did not wake up.”
“The dragon we were paid to kill wants to hire us instead.”
“The dungeon we cleared last spring has new tenants, and they have rebuilt every trap we sprang.”
Questions
An AI dungeon master, or AI DM, is a storyteller that runs a tabletop-style game for you: it describes the world, plays every non-player character, and decides what your choices set in motion. On LoreWeaver it also keeps the campaign’s history, so earlier nights shape later ones.
Yes, in a D&D-style campaign or any system you like. No rulebook is built in, so write your house rules into the world’s style rules and lore cards, and use Loom dice checks for the rolls that matter.
Yes, through the Loom. A thread can roll any standard notation, such as 1d20+5 or 4d6kH3, against a DC you set, and the result steers the scene. Each roll appears on screen with critical successes and failures marked, and you can always roll real dice and tell the storyteller what you got.
Yes. Loom threads keep counters and flags, show stat meters such as health or mana, open quests with objectives, and manage an inventory. 53 ready-made templates, including Health System, Quest Tracker, and Inventory & Keys, install in one click.
Yes, as long as you keep playing the same story, the way a campaign runs. The storyteller saves memories as you play, keeps a running recap, and recalls lore cards when their names come up, so returning after a week does not mean explaining the party’s history again. A new story in the same world starts with fresh memories but keeps every lore card.
Yes. Try a community campaign for 20 replies before making an account, then keep playing on the free plan with unlimited replies from the free storyteller and 25 premium replies a day. Paid plans start at $7.99 a month and add premium storytellers and longer campaign memory.
No. Campaigns are solo: one player and one storyteller. Between group nights, it is a handy place to test a homebrew setting, rehearse an NPC, or run a side quest on your own.
Yes. Call any character in your campaign, speak your move, and hear them answer, with captions to follow. Text-to-speech narration can also read each reply aloud.
