How to write great moves in an AI RPG: 9 tips
An AI Game Master can only work with what you give it. These habits turn flat rounds into memorable ones, whatever world you're playing.
1. Say what you do and why. "I flatter the guard about his boots so he lets me past" beats "I talk to the guard". The intent tells the Game Master what success looks like.
2. Use what you carry. Check your inventory and money in the panel at the top. Items you actually have open doors, and the Game Master won't let you use things you don't.
3. Play to your skills. Your skill tree shows what your character is good at. Leaning on a strong skill adds to your roll.
4. Be clever or funny. A creative plan earns a bonus on risky rolls, and jokes get a payoff in the story rather than a flat refusal.
5. Ask the Game Master questions. "What does the rune mean?" or "Is anyone following us?" get straight answers from what your character knows, without spending a risky roll.
6. Set up your friends. Distract the guard so someone else can sneak in; promise the dealer something your friend has to deliver. Plans that interlock are the best rounds.
7. Give your character a want. A debt to pay, a sibling to protect, a rival to beat. The Game Master builds hooks around whatever you care about.
8. Let failure be interesting. A failed roll opens a new problem rather than ending your story. Some of the best scenes start with a bad roll.
9. Stuck? Press Next stage. It tells the Game Master you're happy to go along with the story, and it moves the scene on.
