What is Friends & Fables AI?

Friends & Fables AI is a virtual tabletop platform that uses AI to generate dynamic stories and encounters for tabletop role-playing games. Rather than requiring a human game master to prepare and improvise everything, the AI handles storytelling, NPC dialogue, encounter design, and world responses in real time. This allows players to focus on character decisions and roleplay whilst the AI adapts the narrative to their choices. The platform is particularly useful for groups without an experienced dungeon master, those wanting faster session preparation, or players seeking a more spontaneous, generative approach to traditional RPG formats.
