Real mechanics. Persistent worlds. AI storytelling.
All inside the Discord server you're already in.
The Problem
ChatGPT is brilliant at pretending to run a campaign. Then scene three arrives and the illusion collapses entirely.
NPCs contradict themselves. Your backstory evaporates. The dragon you slew is mysteriously alive again next week.
Combat is collaborative fiction with no stakes. No AC, no spell slots, no initiative. Every fight feels like guesswork.
No character sheet. No XP tracking. No persistent world underneath any of it. Each session is a blank slate.
NPCs remember your choices. Factions evolve. Every decision echoes forward across months of play.
d20 rolls, AC, spell slots, initiative, conditions — all tracked and enforced automatically, every single turn.
Character sheets, XP, inventory, quest logs — the system handles all bookkeeping so you can simply play.
World & Story
Taverna generates a complete world — locations, NPCs, factions, lore — all persistent. Story evolves based on your choices. NPCs remember what you've done, quests update dynamically, and the world reacts to your presence. Long-term memory keeps the narrative coherent across every session.
Characters
Full character creation with class archetypes, ability scores, and spell selection. Inventory, spell slots, leveling, XP — all tracked automatically. Short and long rests work exactly as you'd expect from a proper 5e game.
Combat Engine
Real turn-based combat — initiative, AC, conditions, concentration, full action economy. NPCs make tactical decisions, not random attacks. Encounter balancing ensures every fight is genuinely challenging. Say what your character does in plain English. The system handles everything else.
Long-Term Memory
Most AI DMs have the memory of a goldfish. Taverna's persistent narrative engine tracks every significant choice, relationship, betrayal, and alliance — across your entire campaign. Sessions 1 through 50 are all connected.

From the Beta
"I've been trying to use AI as a solo DM for two years. Taverna is the first one where I didn't have to re-explain my character every session. The combat actually scared me — my wizard almost died to a tactical goblin retreat."
"We use it for our 4-person group when scheduling falls apart. One player runs a solo side quest and the main campaign just waits. Then we all rejoin and the DM has kept everything coherent. It's witchcraft."
"I deliberately tried to break it. Killed an NPC I wasn't supposed to, burned down the tavern, sided with the villain. Every single choice cascaded forward. I'm now playing the villain's right hand. Best campaign I've ever run."

Common Questions
Taverna is an AI-powered Dungeon Master Discord bot that runs persistent tabletop RPG campaigns with real 5e-inspired mechanics. It tracks full game state — character sheets, NPC memory, world history — across every session, indefinitely.
ChatGPT has no persistent memory, no enforced mechanics, and no actual game state. Every session resets. Taverna maintains a full world state across every session — your AC matters, spell slots are tracked, NPCs remember your choices, and the world evolves around your decisions.
Yes. Taverna works great for solo play and supports full parties — up to 4 players on Adventurer, up to 8 on Champion. Everyone plays in the same Discord channel with shared initiative tracking and turn-based combat.
Not at all. You describe what your character does in plain English and Taverna figures out the rolls, rules, and consequences. Veterans will recognise familiar mechanics; newcomers can just tell a story.
Campaign data is preserved for 90 days after cancellation. Champion members can export a full campaign archive at any time.
