One storm at the Ford

On the day of the storm at the Ford, lightning sets the dead tree alight and rain soaks Hesper's campfire. Holt sees Vigo take Marta's bread in the confusion, and a bounty goes up. The map below links everything that day set in motion.

How it works

Asked once

Most of what you do already has a rule and the game just runs it. Only when you try something no rule covers does the game ask a language model, and the new rule it writes back is checked, added to the library and simply run for whoever meets the same thing after.

A world that learns as it goes

OpenWorld is a role-playing world whose entire state and rule set are represented as code. When play reaches an interaction or an item that no author defined, a language model supplies it once, and every comparable case thereafter uses the result.
