Getting Started with Questsmith
Welcome to the most advanced AI-powered RPG experience ever built. Whether you're a seasoned tabletop veteran or completely new to role-playing games, this guide will have you adventuring in minutes.
Creating Your First Adventure
When you open the app, you'll find yourself on the Home screen with featured stories from our community. But the real magic begins when you tap Create.
Choose Your Genre
We offer six richly developed genres, each with unique world-building, character types, and AI instructions:
- Fantasy — Magical realms, ancient kingdoms, mythical creatures. Choose your race (Human, Elf, Dwarf), pick a class (Warrior, Mage, Ranger), and join factions.
- Sci-Fi — Interstellar travel, advanced AI, alien civilizations. Take on crew roles like Salvage Specialist, Engineer, or Medic.
- Horror — Psychological terror, isolated locations, supernatural threats. Face your deepest fears.
- Cyberpunk — Neon-soaked megacities, cybernetic enhancements, corporate conspiracies.
- Urban — Street-level drama, rival factions, hidden conspiracies in a modern city.
Simple Story vs. Character Creator
You have two story modes:
- Simple Story — Jumps straight into the narrative. Perfect for quick sessions.
- Character Creator — Build a full character sheet with name, race, class, backstory, appearance, and more. Your character's details are woven into every AI response.
Understanding the Game Screen
Once your story begins, you'll see the narrative unfolding in a beautiful parchment-style view. At the bottom, you have four action modes:
- Do — Describe a physical action ("You draw your sword")
- Say — Speak to characters ("You say 'I come in peace'")
- Story — Write narrative directly
- See — Observe your surroundings
The AI reads your input, considers your character's history, the current scene, and your quest state, then generates a vivid continuation.
RPG Mechanics
The game tracks a full character sheet:
- HP / MP / XP — Health, mana, and experience
- Inventory — Use, equip, or drop items directly from your sheet
- Quest Log — Active and completed quests updated by the AI
- Conditions — Status effects like Poisoned, Blessed, etc.
Your AI Companion
If the scenario has companions enabled, you'll have a loyal AI sidekick who reacts to events, offers advice, and builds trust over time. Their personality is shaped by your interactions.
Tips for the Best Experience
- Be descriptive — The more detail you give, the richer the AI's response
- Check your quest log — The AI tracks objectives automatically
- Use your inventory — Items aren't just for show, consume potions, equip weapons
- Explore freely — There are no wrong choices, only new story branches
- Try different genres — Each one plays completely differently
