What Orpheus is

Orpheus is a single-player tabletop RPG run by an AI game master, played in the browser on a visual-novel stage. Pitch any world in a sentence and become anyone. The game master sets the first scene, plays everyone you meet, keeps the rules, and remembers what you did. It's free to start and it's for adults 18 and older.

Why it exists

Most tabletop campaigns don't end with a final battle. They end in a group chat: someone's working late, someone moved, and the next session never gets scheduled. The world was still there. Nobody was free to run it.

Orpheus is the game master who never cancels. It's ready at midnight and on a lunch break. It remembers the guard you bribed last week, and it will happily run a courtroom drama where the defendant is a dragon.

Long description

Orpheus is an independent, single-player tabletop RPG run by an AI game master, made and run in Illinois, United States. Players pitch any world in a sentence, from a courtroom drama with a dragon for a defendant to a dead warship that still thinks the war is on, and the game master sets each scene, plays every character, and keeps the rules, which come from SRD 5.2. Scenes play on a visual-novel stage with backdrops and portraits. The people in them remember how they were treated, and fights use initiative, real rolls and death saves, in the story or on a tactical board. Orpheus plays in any modern browser, is free to start, and is for adults 18 and older.
