Answers to common questions about Play Grimoire

Getting Started

What is Play Grimoire?

Play Grimoire is an AI-powered tabletop roleplaying game. An AI Story Master narrates your adventure, generates images for each scene, and voices its responses in real time. Your choices drive the story.

How do I start my first adventure?

After creating an account, go to the Hub and choose a Campaign. Select your character, then press Begin Adventure. The Story Master will set the scene and wait for your first action.

Do I need to download anything?

No. Play Grimoire runs entirely in your browser. A modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) and a stable internet connection are all you need.

Character Creation

How do I create a character?

From the Hub, click Create Character. Choose your name, race, class, gender, and backstory. The AI will generate a portrait for you. You can regenerate the portrait as many times as you like before saving.

Can I use the same character in different campaigns?

Yes. Your character roster persists across all your adventures. Simply select the character you want when starting a new campaign.

Can I change my character later?

Character details are locked once an adventure begins to keep your Chronicle consistent. You can create a new character at any time.

During Play

How do I take actions?

Type what your character does or says in the action box and press Enter (or click Send). The Story Master will respond and advance the scene.

Why is there a delay before the Story Master responds?

The AI is generating narration, creating a scene image, and producing voice audio simultaneously. Most responses arrive within 15–40 seconds depending on server load.

The scene image didn't update. Is that a bug?

Occasionally the image generation service times out. The story continues normally; the image will refresh on the next beat.

How do I leave a game?

Click Leave Adventure in the sidebar. Your progress is saved automatically; you can resume from the Hub at any time.

Chronicles

What is a Chronicle?

A Chronicle is the illustrated book of your adventure. Each scene becomes a comic-style panel with art, narration, and your actions. Chronicles are numbered globally — your first chronicle is your personal Archive No. 1.

How do I view my Chronicles?

Go to the Hub and click My Chronicles. You can read each one online or export it as a print-ready PDF.

Can I order a printed copy?

Yes! From the Chronicle view, click Order Print. We partner with Lulu Press to produce a professionally bound softcover book and ship it to your door.

Multiplayer

How do I start a multiplayer session?

From the Hub, create or open a campaign and switch the mode to Multiplayer. Share the session link with your friends. Once everyone has joined the lobby and selected their characters, the host can start the adventure.

My character didn't appear in the lobby. What do I do?

Make sure you have created and selected a character before joining the lobby. If you see the "Pick Your Hero" notice, click it and choose your character. You will be sent back to the lobby automatically.

Can players join after the adventure has started?

Not in the current version. All players must be in the lobby before the host starts the session.

Subscriptions & Billing

Is Play Grimoire free?

Play Grimoire offers a limited free tier so you can try the experience before subscribing. Full access — unlimited adventures, Chronicle exports, and multiplayer — requires an active subscription. See the Pricing page for current plans.

How do I cancel my subscription?
