Born from a small role-playing group in North London that has been immersed in Dungeons and Dragons since the 1980s, LoreKeeper has evolved with the efforts of a global team spanning Boston and Georgia. This project is a testament to the indie spirit of development in an era usually dominated by massive tech giants.
Founder David Harrison, shared his enthusiasm with us, saying, “Running games week in and week out for years, I love it! However coming up with new adventures, names, and rules every week was getting near to burnout for me. But I had this idea of an AI character within the game, and then decided to bring that idea to our world to enhance the game. It's all become a bit of a paradox, really.”
LoreKeeper offers a sophisticated tool designed to assist with campaign planning and world-building. The beta version will provide users with a glimpse into the future of table top role-playing games (TTRPGs).
"We're thrilled to introduce LoreKeeper to the world at Comic Con. I haven’t seen anyone doing what we're doing. I believe we're the first to market. It’s both nerve-wracking and genuinely exciting at the same time," he added.
LoreKeeper's beta version will showcase its innovative features, including the ability to handle complex rules, provide elements for building expansive game worlds, and interact with live NPCs. The platform streamlines hours of game preparation into minutes, making it an invaluable tool for both new and experienced Dungeon Masters.
The LoreKeeper team extends an invitation to all Comic Con attendees to visit their booth and experience the beta version first hand. Attendees will have the fantastic chance to interact with the platform, offer valuable feedback, have their ideas illustrated by the artist Callum Carr, and sign up for the service, too/
