Counting Credits
Instead of Hit Points?

You came to Fables.gg to play D&D with an AI — not to manage a credit budget. StoryRoll is a multiplayer AI Game Master that gets out of your way.

60 seconds to your first game. No credit card.

The Fables Experience

Your credits ran out mid-boss fight

You were in the middle of the best session your group’s had in weeks. Then:

You’ve used your daily turns. Upgrade to continue.

StoryRoll has no turn limits. No credits. Play until the story ends.

Your 4th friend can’t join without a $20 upgrade

Fables gives you 3 players free. Want your full group? $20–40/month.

On StoryRoll, invite your whole party. No one gets left out.

You spent 45 minutes in world-building tools before playing

World marketplaces, Image Studios, SRD libraries, travel systems — Fables has a lot. Maybe too much.

StoryRoll: pick a theme (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, or Fairy Tale), invite friends, play. 60 seconds.

“Early access — expect bugs”

Fables charges up to $40/month while warning you about “bugs, incomplete features, and game-breaking changes.”

StoryRoll doesn’t ask you to pay for patience.

We respect Fables.gg — they're building something ambitious. This page is for players who've tried it and want something different. If you love world-building tools, Fables might be your jam. If you want to play now, with friends, without thinking about credits — that's us.

Being honest

Fables Does Some Things We Don't

We'd rather you know upfront than find out later.

World-building tools

If you love crafting maps, NPCs, items, and lore before playing, Fables has a full creation suite. StoryRoll generates worlds for you.

World marketplace

Thousands of community-made worlds you can jump into. We don’t have this — and aren’t building it. Our bet is curated quality over quantity.

Battlemap combat

Fables has tactical grid-based combat with visual battlemaps. Our combat is mechanical simulation (dice, HP, abilities) without a visual grid.

Async play

Fables is designed for “bite-sized moments” throughout your day. StoryRoll is designed for synchronous game night sessions.

Are you…

Which Fables Player Are You?

The Credit-Anxious Player

You love what Fables does but you’re tired of watching your meter. You want to get lost in the story without doing mental math on how many premium narrations you can afford. On StoryRoll, the only numbers that matter are on your character sheet.

The Group Organizer

You finally got 5 friends to commit to game night. Then you found out that’s a $30/month tier. You shouldn’t have to pay more because you have more friends. StoryRoll lets your whole group play without tier anxiety.

The Newcomer’s Friend

Your non-D&D friend tried Fables and bounced — too many menus, too much assumed knowledge. StoryRoll’s Fairy Tale mode needs zero TTRPG experience. Your friend picks a character, the AI handles the rest.
