Context
Tabletop RPGs require significant Game Master preparation — worldbuilding, NPC creation, encounter design. Most digital RPG tools either automate mechanics or narrative, but rarely both in a cohesive experience.
Approach
Built a web-based RPG with three game modes: Solo (fully procedural AI-generated adventures with Gemini-driven NPCs), Semi-Guided (AI + optional human GM), and Classic (traditional rules with digital tools). Features 8 character origins, 8 classes, 4 core attributes, and full game rules documented across 12 specification docs. Character data persists via LocalStorage.
Outcome
Working RPG system with complete rules engine, character creation, and AI narrative generation. Showcases full-stack capabilities from game design to implementation with TanStack Start.
