Now in open beta
Epic tabletop campaigns in Discord.
No DM. No prep. Just play.
Taverna is an AI Game Master in your Discord server. It forges whole worlds — custom races, classes, and spells — narrates your story, and referees tactical combat by the rules. Any genre you can dream up, solo or with your whole party.
Free to play. No credit card. No downloads.
What's inside
Everything a great campaign needs. Nobody has to run it.
Worlds
A whole world, forged in minutes
One command generates your setting: history, factions, locations, and eight custom races and classes with their own spell lists. Fantasy, horror, sci-fi — any genre you can describe, it can run.
- ✦Unique races & classes every world
- ✦Shops, quests, and NPCs pre-seeded
- ✦Solo or shared with your party
Seraused /createworld
A drowned dwarven empire, reclaimed by the sea…

The story
A DM that narrates, remembers, and reacts
Say what your character does — the DM paints the scene, plays every NPC, and calls for rolls when it matters. It keeps long-term memory, so the innkeeper you swindled in session two still holds a grudge in session twenty.
- ✦Persistent story memory
- ✦Dice rolled server-side, never fudged
- ✦AI scene art of your key moments

I ask the innkeeper about the missing caravan.
TavernaApp
Marta stops polishing the tankard. "Third one this month," she mutters, glancing at the hooded figure by the hearth — the same one who watched you win at dice last night.
Combat
Fights that play by the rules
When initiative rolls, a deterministic 5e engine takes over: action economy, spell slots, concentration, reactions, death saves. Buttons, not prompts — fast, fair, and impossible to argue with.
- ✦Tactical grid with AI battle maps
- ✦Smart enemies that focus threats
- ✦Real dice math shown every roll
Dornused /dm
Everyone behind me. I kick the vault door open.
TavernaApp
The door slams inward and the vault erupts — a basilisk uncoils from a bed of shattered coin. Roll for initiative!

Under the hood
A real game engine. Not just a chatbot.
Beneath the storytelling sits a persistent game engine. Everything you say in plain language becomes hard game state — tracked, enforced, and evolving between sessions. Nothing rides on the AI's short-term memory, so the story never forgets what happened, and neither does your character sheet.
You speak
“I buy the healing potion and head for the docks.” Plain words, no commands to memorize.
The engine records
Gold deducted, potion in your pack, location changed — written to a real database, not a chat window.
The world remembers
Come back tomorrow or in three months: your sheet, your stash, and every grudge are exactly where you left them.
Early access beta
A small team of two developers.
Taverna is currently in early access beta. We're a team of two developers kick-starting this project and actively engaged with the community as it grows and evolves — players shape a lot of what we build next.
