Theatre of the Mind

Theatre of the Mind

A text-based online game engine for exploring classic and remixed TTRPG adventures with interchangeable rulesets.

Overview

Theatre of the Mind lets players type as if speaking to a Dungeon Master. Your words are parsed into structured actions, adjudicated by a modular rules engine, and narrated back in natural language.

  • Natural-language input — conversational play
  • Modular rulesets — swap between B/X, BECMI, homebrew, etc.
  • Adventure remixing — structure, lore, and stats are cleanly separated
  • Built on Evennia for multiplayer and persistence

Status

Early development. The first milestone is to play through B1: In Search of the Unknown under its original B/X ruleset, with content converted into machine-readable form.
