WM-3000 Operator Manual

Section 00: Quick Start

Wandering Monster is a browser-based fantasy roleplaying game powered by an AI Game Master.

The WM-3000 is the machine at the center of the table: part adventure terminal, part narrator, part rules engine, and part old-school dungeon contraption. It is how Wandering Monster turns handcrafted fantasy adventures into playable sessions.

Choose a hero, select an adventure, and tell the WM-3000 what you want to do. The system narrates the world, tracks the rules, rolls the dice, remembers your choices, and responds when you try something unexpected.

Section 01: Handcrafted Adventures

Wandering Monster adventures are authored and tested like tabletop modules, with prepared scenes, memorable NPCs, dangerous choices, and consequences that carry forward.

Escape of the Infanta

A royal rescue through rain, alleys, blades, and desperate bargains.

Squeak and Destroy

A rat problem below the inn becomes a grimy first expedition.

The Bride of Westmoor Manor

A gothic investigation where vows, ghosts, and old sins refuse to stay buried.

Wild Hunt Beckons

A wilderness pursuit with folklore pressure and teeth in the dark.

Section 05: Voice at the Table

  • Follow PromptsRoll, choose, argue, investigate, or flee.
  • Speak or TypeRespond naturally, however you prefer to play.

Section 06: Troubleshooting

Do I need to know the rules?

No. Wandering Monster is inspired by old-school fantasy RPGs, but the WM-3000 handles rules, dice, and arithmetic while you make choices.

Can I play solo?

Yes. Choose solo mode, start an adventure, speak or type your actions, and let the AI Game Master run the table.

Can I play with friends?

Yes. Party play lets friends share the same adventure with live voice chat.

What makes this different from a chatbot?

Wandering Monster adventures are handcrafted with scenes, locations, NPCs, stakes, and consequences. The AI Game Master operates the adventure rather than replacing it.

What do I need to start?

A browser, a character, and a few minutes. The WM-3000 supplies the adventure module, narration, dice handling, and table pressure.
