D&Dark

Epic tales of science-fiction, fantasy and horror. Welcome to RxOliver, where me and my friends play all kinds of tabletop RPGs, from the giants like D&D and Call Of Cthulhu, to the smallest and most obscure indie games. Mature themes and immature people. Partnered with Brotherhood Of The Dice, events and characters in this universe may exist in that one and vice-versa.

Actual Play Entertainment (APE) is an independent RPG network that is dedicated to bringing you quality, well produced, actual play podcasts. Our games have a combination of being fun, tense, and exciting, with a dash of improvised humor that will make you laugh-out-loud. You might even cry! Who knows? Games in the works: Alien the RPG, Traveler 2nd Edition, Dungeons and Dragons 5E, Delta Green, Call of Cthulhu (Pulp and 7th edition), and more. Campaigns Operation: Blackstar Set in 1997, this Delta Green campaign begins with a trip to the forgotten town of Groversville, Tennessee. What starts as a simple investigation unravels into alien abductions, government lies, and the Mi-Go’s terrifying experiments. A slow descent into paranoia, body horror, and conspiracy — where every choice risks pulling the agents deeper into the shadows of the Blackstar project. The Two-Headed Serpent A rip-roaring Pulp Cthulhu campaign of action, intrigue, and cosmic menace. The heroes work for the Caduceus Foundation, battling disease and disaster across the globe — but their missions hide a secret war against ancient serpent people bent on reclaiming the Earth. From lost jungles to frozen wastes, to the ruins of Mu itself, the adventure explodes with two-fisted action, pulpy science, and occult horrors beyond imagination.

TableForge is an AI-powered virtual tabletop that runs your Dungeons & Dragons 5e games for you. Create a character, gather your party, and play through a living fantasy world guided by an AI Dungeon Master that narrates the story, runs combat, and reacts to whatever you decide to do. Every adventure generates its own characters, locations, encounters, and battle maps, so you can go from "let's play tonight" to actually playing in a few minutes. No DM, no prep, no scheduling marathon. /images/general-media/1785090300_1dWltGXR.png Full description TableForge started with a familiar problem: a group of friends who wanted to play D&D together but lived in different cities and could never get their calendars to line up. No regular DM, no reliable session night, just a game everyone wanted to play and no practical way to play it. TableForge is built for exactly that situation, whether you're a full party, two friends grabbing an hour, or one person who wants to disappear into a story alone. You create a character, start (or join) a campaign, and play in natural language. The AI Dungeon Master sets the scene, voices the NPCs, calls for rolls, runs encounters, and remembers what you've done, then responds to what you actually try, not just the path it expected. Talk your way past the guard, torch the bridge, befriend the monster you were sent to kill: the world reacts. That player-driven freedom is the point. The AI handles worldbuilding, encounter generation, and narration so the discovery, improvisation, and agency that make tabletop roleplaying worth it stay firmly in your hands. Under the hood, narration and rules are kept separate. A dedicated rules engine enforces 5e mechanics (AC and DCs, initiative, conditions, hit points, death saves) while the AI focuses on story and table feel. That split is why the DM can stay loose and responsive without losing track of your HP or fudging the math: the numbers are handled, so the storytelling stays free. Whether you want a one-shot, a months-long campaign, solo play, or a co-op night with friends scattered across time zones, TableForge runs in your browser (mobile, too!) and is ready whenever you are. /images/general-media/1785090304_bDgGCr3B.png Features AI Dungeon Master Runs the whole DM role: narrates scenes, voices NPCs, sets difficulty, calls for rolls, and resolves the action. It keeps the game moving, so a session feels like playing with a DM rather than filling out a form. Player-driven story The DM responds to whatever you actually try, and your choices carry forward as the campaign unfolds. The generation builds the world; you decide where the story goes. Real 5e rules, enforced A dedicated rules engine handles the mechanics (the d20 system, initiative, conditions, HP, death saves) instead of leaving them to the AI. Every roll is shown openly, so you can trust the result. Tactical combat and battle maps Fights generate a battle map and run by the book, with encounters tuned to your party. The mechanical state stays visible so you always know where everyone stands. Dynamic adventures and campaigns Every quest generates its own premise, locations, NPCs, and encounters. Campaigns persist across sessions, from quick one-shots to months-long stories as you climb toward level 20. Character creation and progression Build a full 5e hero (species, class, abilities, skills, gear) on a sheet that feels thematic, not like a spreadsheet. Level up and your features, HP, and inventory update as you go. Generated scene illustrations Key moments and locations are illustrated automatically, giving each scene a visual anchor instead of pure description. It does a lot for immersion in solo and remote play. Solo or multiplayer co-op Play solo for a focused story, or invite friends to share a campaign. Built for groups who can't get everyone together at the same time. No prep, play in your browser Nothing to install or prepare. Sign in with Google or Discord, make a character, and start playing in minutes from any browser or on your smartphone. Blog TableForge's blog has resources for players interested in using AI as a tool for their adventures: getting the most out of an AI DM, running solo and remote games, and notes on how the platform works.
