About Questforge

Questforge is a tabletop role-playing game system designed to be played inside Codex, a conversational AI platform. The tool functions as a Game Master, rules referee, campaign memory, and visual table, enabling natural-language play where the world responds dynamically to player actions. Players can speak naturally, roll dice transparently, and build original worlds that retain changes across sessions. The system supports persistent campaigns with portable saves, including optional Google Drive autosave integration that stores campaign files locally without transmitting them to Questforge. Visual elements such as generated scenes, 360° POV viewers, and ambient audio enhance immersion while maintaining text and structured state as the authoritative source of truth. Players can start locally or within a ChatGPT Work cloud thread and continue seamlessly across devices, with portable ZIP exports available as a fallback. The tool emphasizes continuity by reusing campaign-specific visuals for recurring elements like NPCs and locations, preventing silent rewrites of established lore.
