An AI text adventure your whole Discord server can play
Add Quillroll to your server and start a story in any channel. The AI narrator writes each scene, everyone votes on what happens next, and the party's health and gear carry from scene to scene.
The Lantern Road
The last lantern on the mill bridge gutters and dies. In the sudden dark, something heavy shifts in the water below, and the miller's boy grabs your sleeve.
Health 9/10Carrying: oil flask, rope, a stolen key

How to add it

Commands
| Command | Who | What it does |
|---|---|---|
/adventure start | Anyone | Starts an adventure in this channel. Pick a world, or describe your own in premise. Whoever starts it is the host. |
Vote buttons | Anyone | Each scene ends with three choices. Voting closes 60 seconds after the first vote and the most-voted choice happens. |
Go now | Host or admins | Closes the vote early, so a small group doesn't have to wait. |
/adventure do | Host or admins | Plays a specific move instead of the three choices: search the cellar, bribe the guard, anything. |
/adventure status | Anyone | Shows the current scene, the party's health and what you're carrying. Only you see it. |
/adventure end | Host or admins | Ends the adventure in this channel. |
Worlds to play
- The Lantern Road: low-magic fantasy. The lanterns that keep the night creatures off the trade road are going out.
- Drift Station Calder: science fiction. A cargo ship docks at a mining station with no crew and its hold sealed from inside.
- Fog Over Wrenmouth: a 1920s mystery. The lighthouse keeper vanished before the storm, and everyone has a different story.
- The House on Gallows Lane: eerie, not gory. One empty house keeps its lights on, and tonight the door is open.
- Your own world: describe a setting and a starting situation, and the narrator builds from there.
Why play as a group
A solo text adventure goes wherever you push it. With a vote, someone always wants to open the door you'd have left shut, and the arguments in chat become part of the game. It works for D&D groups between sessions, for a server's game night, or for two friends who want a story without prepping anything. If you'd like to see how the narrator plays first, try a solo adventure in your browser.
Questions
Is the Quillroll Discord bot free?
Yes. Each server gets 30 free narrator turns a day, which is usually enough for a full adventure. Turns refill over 24 hours.
What permissions does it need?
None beyond slash commands. Quillroll replies to commands and button presses only. It can't read your server's messages, and it never asks for admin rights.
How does voting work?
Everyone presses one of the three choice buttons; you can change your vote. The vote closes 60 seconds after the first vote, or when the host presses Go now. Ties are broken at random.
Can we play in another language?
Yes. The opening scene follows the Discord language of the person who started the adventure (Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese and more), and the story follows the language of the moves you type.
Is it safe for my server?
Stories stay PG-13: adventure, mystery and peril, but no sexual content and no graphic gore. Quillroll is for players 13 and older.
Can I keep playing on my own?
Yes. Play solo in your browser on quillroll.com, with 10 free turns a day without an account and 20 when you sign in.
