A sheet that updates itself
Momentum, tracks, conditions, vows — every roll and every choice writes back to the sheet. No bookkeeping. No reaching for a calculator.

Pricing.
Start free with the Free Adventure — dice, oracles and a taste of AI narration, no card required. Paid tiers are usage-based: more narration turns each month, stronger models, and saga export.
1 turn = 1 Narrator response. Dice, oracles, save points and sheet edits don't count. Counts are approximate — we round generously and may adjust as the model mix evolves. Your remaining turns are shown live in every saga, with the exact reset time in your local zone and UTC.
Free meter resets daily at 00:00 UTC. Paid meters reset on your billing anniversary — purchase on the 30th, the next 500/2,000 turns unlock on the 30th of next month. All counts come from server time, so changing your device clock won't extend the window. Cancel anytime.

Plain talk
Why not just use ChatGPT?
You can. We did, for a long time. Then we built this.
- ChatGPT forgets the dice it just rolled.
- Markbound rolls dice in code, in your browser, with crypto-grade randomness. The model never decides outcomes — it only narrates the ones the dice already produced.
- ChatGPT loses the thread of your saga.
- Every roll, oracle, scene transition and line of narration is written to a journal that persists. Export the whole chronicle as Markdown or a bound PDF.
- ChatGPT doesn't know your sheet.
- Markbound does. Momentum, tracks, conditions, vows and assets all update themselves and are visible at every moment of play.
- ChatGPT can't run a real adventure.
- Markbound's Free Adventure mode pairs the Ironsworn oracles with an AI narrator that's grounded in your dice, your sheet and your journal — so the story actually goes somewhere, and the rules actually hold.
- What counts as one AI narration turn?
- One Narrator response = one turn. Dice rolls, oracle pulls, save points and sheet edits are free and don't count. Free resets daily at 00:00 UTC; paid plans reset on your billing anniversary (~30 days from purchase). All counts come from server time so the cap can't be cheated. Your remaining turns are shown live in the saga header.
The dice are honest. The story is yours.
