(A) — Brief

A show where an AI game master talks in our ears, hands out quests around downtown Minneapolis and keeps score. HP, mana and XP are on screen for viewers. Charisma and Courage stay hidden, even from us.

(B) — How it works
  1. 01

    Voice and referee are separate

    The game master talks and a separate referee keeps the numbers. The voice model never owns the stats.

  2. 02

    Balance lives in one file

    Every rule is a number in a config file, so tuning the game never means touching code.

  3. 03

    Rules of the street

    Strangers are never the joke. One ask per person. If someone says no, we drop it.

  4. 04

    Mana is water

    The potions are coloured water in test tubes, and the props are half the fun.
