Everyone plays. Nobody runs it.
The hardest part of a tabletop night is finding someone willing to run it. Hardcore mode takes that job, so the whole table gets to be heroes.
The TV is the table
The map, the monsters, the dice and the story all show on the big screen, so everyone sees the same fight.
Your phone is your sheet
Hit points, spells, gear and your choices live on your phone. It shows your bonus for every roll, so new players keep up.
The storyteller narrates
An AI storyteller describes every scene and voices the people you meet, while the game handles every rule and roll.
What's new in Hardcore mode
All of this is live now, ready for your next game night.
Campaigns that keep going
Your campaign saves under a 6-letter code. Type it in next game night and pick up right where you stopped.
Hidden things on every map
Search chests, cabinets and old sarcophagi for loot. Watch for traps from the rules, and find secret doors.
Talk, scare or bluff
Not every fight needs a sword. Charm the toll goblin, scare off the bandits, or lie your way past the guards.
Inspiration and morale
Great play earns Inspiration for your next roll. Beat a gang badly enough and the rest surrender or run.
"How do you want to do this?"
Land the final blow and your phone asks you to describe it. The storyteller tells your finishing move on the TV.
Streamer mode
Share a link and your chat joins as the crowd: they cheer, boo the monster, and help from their own phones.
Draw your own dungeon
Paint walls, place monsters, a boss, chests and traps in the dungeon maker. Share the code and your friends play it.
Life between quests
Haggle at the shop, sell your loot, have Brenna forge a +1 blade, hire a sellsword, or carouse for rumors.
A rival party
Another crew of adventurers is after the same treasure. Talk them down or fight them for it.

The Great Harvest Feast
Something has been raiding the Amberfield barns: the pies, the corn, the cider, and Sir Gobbleton, the prize feast bird. Bring it all home and the whole town eats. A Thanksgiving quest for heroes of any level.
Questions
Does someone have to be the dungeon master?
No. The game runs every rule and roll, and an AI storyteller narrates the adventure on the TV, so everyone at the table gets to play.
Do I need to know fifth edition rules?
No. Your phone shows your options and bonuses, and the game does the math. If you already know the rules, everything works the way you expect.
Can we continue our campaign next week?
Yes. Your campaign saves under a 6-letter code. Type it in on the next game night and pick up where you left off.
What do we need to play?
A screen everyone can see with a web browser (a smart TV, or a laptop plugged into the TV), and a phone for each player. No app and no controllers.
Is there a lighter version for kids or new players?
Yes. Party mode is fast and silly, with simple cards and no rules to learn.
