Korvosa: Rules and Ruin
A solo roleplaying chronicle of ambition, loyalty, and power beneath the spires of a crumbling empire.
Welcome to Korvosa—a city of spires and slums, where masks hide knives and every favor carries a price. Here, power is measured in secrets, syndicates, and the strength to hold your code when the world demands compromise.
This is the ongoing chronicle of Kaelus Shade, a quiet tactician rising from the guttered alleys of Old Korvosa to stake his claim in the city’s tangled web of noble courts, criminal empires, and cultic ruins. He lives by a set of rules. In a city built on ruin, that might be the most dangerous thing of all.
But this isn’t just a story. It’s a demonstration of what a solo TTRPG can be—played through rich narrative, dynamic worldbuilding, and improvisational storytelling using ChatGPT as the Dungeon Master.
Every scene you’ll read was built in real time: no script, no prep, no illusions. Just one player, one AI, and a world reacting to choices with consequence, conflict, and meaning.
