Made with AI tools
Much of the artwork (portraits, card and scene illustrations, some 3D models), the music and the character voices were created with the help of AI tools during development, then chosen, edited and placed by the developer.

A new kind of RPG
Three kinds of game. One table.
Tirona merges a virtual tabletop RPG with a classic computer RPG, and hands the narration to AI. You get the freedom of a real tabletop session without needing a group or a game master.
Virtual tabletop
The freedom of a real tabletop session. Any plan, any approach, any idea you can put into words.
CRPG
The art, exploration and turn-based tactical combat of a classic computer RPG.
Narrated by AI
An AI narrator and a cast of AI characters who answer whatever you say, out loud.
Your adventure, told your way.
No more choosing
Say what you want.
They answer.
Type it, or say it out loud
No dialogue wheels and no lists of choices. Tell the narrator what your character does, in plain language.
NPCs are AI agents
Every villager has a personality, a background and a memory. Bargain, flatter, threaten or recruit them, and they react like people.
Every voice runs on your PC
Each character speaks their reply aloud, with voices generated locally on your own machine.

Real gameplayReal rules
The story is free.
The dice are real.
Behind every conversation sit the fifth-edition rules from the System Reference Document. Combat is turn-based and tactical — action, bonus action, reaction and movement — and every die is thrown on the table, in front of you.

Module one
The Stonebrook region
North of Valaria, near the Falkenberg border, in the foothills of the Ironhearth Mountains. Your first adventure covers a whole frontier region, from a quiet village to the dungeons beneath it.
StonebrookThe village where it begins: the Silver Anvil inn, Bodin Silverbeard’s forge and a frontier camp full of prospectors.
The Whispering WoodsAncient and dense. Travellers do not linger here. Not wise ones.
The Gnomish HillsRolling highlands north-east of Stonebrook, home to gnome communities and the workshops of Tinkertown.
Khazad-GorrimThe dwarven halls, cut into the face of the Ironhearth Mountains.
The Lower RoadsThe old dwarven workings beneath Khazad-Gorrim, reached by the cage lift from the Great Mine.
The Dungeons BelowCellars, caves and the deep places beneath the region.
Real gameplay

Module one is only the beginning
“Upon a single great landmass, called Tirona by those who have walked its roads, the known world begins — and for most, it ends.”
The Stonebrook region lies north of Valaria, near the Falkenberg border. Beyond it: the proud Free Cities of the south, the kingdoms of the north and the rest of the continent of Tirona.
AI disclosure
How Tirona uses AI, and how it is guarded
Tirona is built around AI, so we want to be clear about where it is used and what keeps it in line.
Generated while you play
The narrator and every character’s reply are written by an AI language model as you play, so no two conversations are the same. Character voices are generated locally on your own PC, and you can create your hero’s portrait from your choices.
The guardrails
- The rules stay the rules. Dice, hit points, gold, items, experience, spells and quest progress only change through the game’s own systems — never because the narrator, or a player, says so.
- A referee checks the claims. When a player says “I rolled a 20”, “I have a +3 sword” or “I cast Wish”, a separate check (we call it VAR) compares the claim with the real character sheet. Impossible moves fail in the story instead of breaking it.
- The world stays Tirona. Fifth-edition SRD spells only, and only the ones your character knows. No modern technology, and the canon places, gods and factions are authoritative.
- Romance, up to a point. Companions can flirt, court, kiss and fall in love — it is opt-in and earned through play. Anything sexual fades to black. The curtain falls, every time.
- Checked twice. That line is set in the narrator’s instructions, and conversations with characters are screened again by an independent check before you see them. If that check cannot run, the reply is replaced with a fade-to-black line rather than shown.
Who makes Tirona
Tirona is made by a single developer, working alongside the AI tools described above.
