I've been building tools for DMs as a hobby and as a little side experiment I have recently adopted a one-shot of mine from the table into a game you can play solo in your browser. It's totally silly and free, there's no sign-up, and it runs on a phone or a computer. It takes about an hour and a half to go through it, and it saves your progress if you need to stop.
An Ethical Poisoning: a comic investigation for a party of four not-very-heroic level 5 heroes. There are branching conversations, ability checks, choice and consequences, multiple endings (including a real evil one :). The fights are real 5.5e combat, turn by turn on a grid, and you control the whole party. It uses the engine I created for 5e battle simulations based on the SRD.
By default the game contains no AI imagery. You do have an option to switch on AI-generated illustrations if that's something you feel comfortable with - it's totally up to you.
I'm looking for general feedback really. Is this fun or boring, too easy/too hard, anything broken etc. I'm just trying this as a format to see if this resonates with people at all.
As a player who loves browser-based RPGs, seeing a DM code their own tabletop one-shot into a free browser game uno online is honestly such a cool project

the freak circus
If you did the work and didn't use AI I would say good job, but honestly it's terrble, and AI makes it worse.
List of bad:
Evil party, with extra gross.
Choices make no sense.
It follows the rules, generally but it's on rails, so there is no sense of agency in the story even if there are choices.
Evil wizard in a secret lab under the villiage what?
