Neural Initiative

About this app

Neural Initiative is a persistent AI Game Master for fifth-edition and other tabletop RPGs. Start a campaign in minutes and play whenever you want, on your own or with friends. The AI narrates the world, runs the NPCs, calls for real dice, and remembers everything you do, so the story keeps its shape across months. And now it illustrates that story as you play. DICE THAT ACTUALLY DECIDE Rolls are real and they stick. When the AI calls for a check, the dice are rolled for real and the result drives what happens next. A natural 1 can wreck a plan and a natural 20 can save the day, because the number lands before the story does. The AI does not quietly bend the outcome to a tidier scene. Your luck is your luck. A STORY THAT COMMITS Neural Initiative plays a campaign with a spine, not a string of disconnected scenes. The world remembers what you did, NPCs hold their grudges and their debts, and the arc you are on keeps moving toward its payoff. Choices have weight because the game carries them forward instead of resetting between sessions. A WORLD YOU CAN SEE Most AI adventures are a wall of text. Neural Initiative illustrates the story as it turns. Every beat can render its own scene in a premium fantasy-rulebook art style, and the backdrop behind the tale is alive: taverns, forests, crypts, the open sea, a burning forge, the feywild, and more, with weather, time of day, and the tension of a fight all reflected on screen. A PARTY WITH A FACE Every character and key NPC gets a unique AI portrait built from their sheet, so your rogue, your paladin, and the innkeeper who owes them a favor all look like themselves. Portraits carry across your campaigns and double as your avatar. WHAT YOU CAN DO - See your world. Each scene is illustrated as the story turns, over living, animated atmosphere. - Meet your party. Every hero and key NPC gets a one-of-a-kind AI portrait. - Play anytime. No table to schedule, no human GM to wait on. Pick up a session whenever the mood strikes. - Solo or multiplayer. Run a private one-player story, or invite friends into the same live session. - Bring a real book. Import a published adventure you legally own and the AI runs the actual material, chapter by chapter. - Build characters. Create a character on your phone or pull one from your roster, and edit the sheet as you play. - Roll real dice. A full 3D dice roller for the moments that matter. - Hear the story. Optional voice narration reads scenes aloud. - Persistent campaigns. Your world, characters, and story carry over between sessions and stay in sync across devices. HOW IT WORKS Neural Initiative is the companion to a hosted service at neuralinitiative.ai. Create an account, start a campaign, and play. The same campaigns are on the web, so you can set things up on a big screen and play on your phone. Sign in with Apple, email, or your other connected accounts. Your data is encrypted in transit and your account is yours to delete at any time. OPEN ENGINE The engine behind Neural Initiative is open source, so if you would rather run it yourself on your own keys, that path stays open. Gather your party and roll initiative.

iPad landscape is here, and the app has changed a great deal since you last opened it. COMBAT RUNS ITSELF NOW Fights start on the turn they should, with initiative rolled and hit points tracked from the first blow. Attack someone in the scene and that is a fight. Push an NPC far enough and they decide for themselves, on a roll you can see against a number you can argue with. A new campaign setting sets how readily the world turns violent, from Forgiving to Hair-trigger. It changes how long you get before someone acts, and whether they act at all. A RULEBOOK IN YOUR POCKET Looking a rule up usually means a slow, ad-heavy site in another tab. There is now a built-in reference: every spell, monster, class, species and feat from the 5e SRD, plus plain guides to how play works here. No ads, no tracking, and readable in 12 languages. YOUR CHARACTER, PROPERLY Level-up asks you to choose. Ability improvements and subclasses are picked by you at the levels the rules allow, and feats are a real option instead of an improvement. Twelve backgrounds, six fighting styles, a second subclass for every class, and thirty new spells. Attunement is tracked. Exhaustion has levels and they bite. Tap a spell on your sheet to read what it does. WHAT A ROLL LOOKS LIKE Dice arrive as dice. The die, the modifier, the total and the outcome are shown as separate values instead of another sentence of prose. Your attack bonus is read off your sheet rather than estimated, and totals are checked against it. FIXES YOU WILL NOTICE Long Rest restores your hit points, spell slots and hit dice, and the change reaches your sheet. Undo puts your character back, not just the story. Choosing a narrator voice saves. Saving and exiting keeps your spell list. The dice appear once. Ability modifiers read correctly, and affected sheets have been repaired. If you tried Neural Initiative a while ago and hit something rough, this is a good moment to come back.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
