READY TO ADD AI TO YOUR RPG?

AI CARDS offer you an exciting and easy way to enhance your characters with artificial intelligence for use in any fiction*, including tabletop role playing games and other forms of storytelling. With nothing more than two 6-sided dice, some colours, and a wallet-sized CARD, you can program how characters gossip, respond to bargains, react when flirted with, and more!

This modular, cutting-edge RPG tech is ready to be used on its own for a rules-lite, freeform role playing experience OR  plugged into your favourite game to help your characters come alive. Use AI CARDS as a GMing tool or to automate your GM-less play.  Everything is better with a little AI.

*or in real life. I'm not gonna stop you.

So... how does it work?

On each CARD you'll find a 6x6 square grid with four probable responses to a given prompt. Using highlighters, pencil crayons, markers, or whatever colouring tools you have on hand, divide the grid into uneven quadrants — a bigger quadrant means the character is more likely to act that way. 

When the situation arises and you need to know how your character will act, roll 2d6 and find the corresponding square on the grid. Think of it like an oracle with probabilities that you adjust for each character depending on their personality. 

Fill out a full set of cards for a character and you have a robust set of reactions to rely on whenever you need to answer the question: "how does this character act?"

Example of play: Your friend Aviya is usually very low-energy from working night shifts at their job. You are going to meet them today and you aren't sure how they are feeling, so you roll 2d6 and get a 5 and a 3, which corresponds to the top left quadrant: stressed. When you see them they are hunched over in their chair and gritting their teeth. What might be on their mind?

What do I get?

Your purchase includes the first full set of 10 AI CARDS, including:

Future Development

This set of AI CARDS is designed to be a launching-off point. This framework is easy to design and iterate upon, leaving plenty of room for booster packs and hackable content. I may even do a print run at some point. Have any AI you want to see or situations you need CARDS for?
