You already trust the AI to run 5e. Now you can verify the dice.
Friends & Fables is a genuinely good AI Game Master - real D&D 5e, persistent memory, solo or group. LoomMaster gives you the same, plus the one thing an AI table can't usually offer: a die you don't have to take on faith. A real engine rolls it, seals it, and lets anyone re-check it.
The dice are provable, not just promised.
Most AI tables, Friends & Fables included, roll the dice on their own servers and show you the result. It is usually fine - but it is something you take on trust, with no way to audit a single roll after the fact.
LoomMaster makes the roll a fact you can check. A deterministic D&D 5e engine rolls and validates every die on the server and writes it to a tamper-evident ledger before a single word of narration exists. You can mint a public Loom Seal that lets anyone - you, a skeptical player, a stranger - re-verify every natural d20 your campaign rolled. The honesty isn't a tagline; it's a receipt.
Everything you'd expect from a great AI table.
Full 5e run by a living AI Game Master that reacts to anything you type in plain language - no menus, no scripted rails. Persistent server-side memory so the innkeeper remembers the favor and the rival still carries the grudge, session after session. Play solo, or run co-op party play with friends sharing one Game Master.
Character creation, classes, subclasses, spellcasting, conditions, the death-save ladder, an endgame, crafting, loot - the depth is there. If you came to Friends & Fables for "a real campaign, not a chatbot," LoomMaster meets you on that ground.
A determinism guarantee - and pricing without tiers.
The deterministic core is source-available and externally audited - one engine that runs byte-identically across implementations - so "the dice are honest" is something you can check, not a promise you have to accept. The AI also cannot write your character's actions or words; that is a hard line in the routing layer, so your agency is never overwritten by the narrator.
And the price is simple: one flat web tier, every feature and all content included - never gated behind a higher plan. No per-seat upsell to unlock the good stuff.
Stay where you are if you're happy...
...Friends & Fables is a polished, friendly way to play AI 5e, and if taking the dice on trust is fine for your table, it's a fair choice. We're not here to talk you out of a tool you like.
Switch to LoomMaster if you want a critical hit to be a provable critical hit, a death save that anyone can audit, and a Game Master that cannot quietly save you or sink you - because the engine, not the AI, owns the dice. That's the whole design.
