Help โ everything you can do here
The Storyteller's Table is an AI-run role-playing game: you write what your character does, the Storyteller tells you what the world does next. Here is the full tour of the site, page by page.
1. Create an account and sign in
- Create an account: your email address is your sign-in name, with a password (8 characters minimum). You will receive a link to confirm the address โ without it the account stays unusable. If the host of the table has set an invitation code, they will give it to you.
- Forgotten password: from the sign-in page, we email you a link to choose a new one.
- Your game turns are prepaid: buy them online (PayPal) from the "My account" page โ the host can also give you a token to redeem there.
2. My games โ create or join a campaign
- Create a game: give it a name and choose its setting: Medieval fantasy ยท Contemporary ยท Futuristic. Each setting has its own laws (magic, technology, currency...) and its own colours on the game page. The creator becomes the owner of the campaign.
- Join a game: enter the EXACT name of the campaign (ask its owner) and, if you like, your character's name. You join the turn order at the end.
- Your campaigns appear at the top of the page โ click to play.
3. Playing โ the dialogue window
- Write freely, in your own language: "I push open the tavern door", "I question the blacksmith about the raven seal", "I search the room". The Storyteller answers in your browser's language. No command to learn: the sentence IS the game.
- Every answer from the Storyteller opens with the date and time of the world: time passes according to your actions (a journey costs hours, a night goes by...).
- Dice are transparent: when a risky action calls for a roll, the Storyteller shows the d20, the modifier and the difficulty โ nothing is rigged, for or against you.
- With several players, everyone plays in TURN: if it is not yours, the site tells you who must play. The campaign owner can skip an absent player.
- Each turn played consumes 1 credit turn (credit plan). Zero balance โ the turn is refused, never half-billed.
- The "!" commands โ as on Discord, typed in the game window, immediate and FREE (no turn consumed). They are in English, the same for every player whatever their language:
!whoโ the list of the campaign's characters;!who Gromโ Grom's detailed sheet (alias!whois)!turnโ whose turn it is!skipโ skip the current player (campaign owner)!balanceโ your remaining turn credit!helpโ this list, without leaving the game
4. My account โ balance, purchases and tokens
- Your balance of prepaid turns is shown on the My account page.
- Buy turns: pay online with PayPal from "My account" โ turns are credited as soon as the payment is confirmed.
- Redeem a token: the host gives you a code (
rpg-...); paste it into "Redeem a token" and your turns are credited. A token can only be redeemed ONCE. - Pricing: 5 โฌ = 50 turns ยท 10 โฌ = 50 turns ยท then 15 โฌ per 50 turns. The price of your next pack is always shown before you pay.
5. The site and Discord play the SAME game
- A campaign can be played here and on the Discord server: same world, same memory, same character.
- The last interface used has control: if you play on Discord, your web session is interrupted (a banner says so) โ and the other way round. Playing here again gives you back control at once.
- On Discord, type
!helpin a channel (game commands) or in a private message to the bot (account commands) for the full list of commands.
