Tapestria Docs

Design notes, world lore, and architecture for Tapestria — an AI-narrated, shared-world tabletop RPG. Written in the open while the game is being built.

These docs are the build-in-public counterpart to the devlog. The devlog is chronological — what happened this week. The docs are durable — what the game is, how its world is shaped, and how the systems behind it work.

Sections

Architecture — how the engine works. The knowledge graph, the deterministic D&D 5e rules core, the LLM pipeline (parse → engine → narrate → aftermath), and why each piece is where it is.
Mechanics — design rationale. What "shared persistent world" actually means in practice, how information propagates between NPCs, how quests emerge from world state instead of from a quest board, why combat is deterministic and dialogue is not.

Following along

The devlog publishes weekly. Subscribe via RSS or join the waitlist to hear about alpha access.
Each docs page will, over time, link out to the devlog posts that expand on it — and vice versa.
The community Discord is at discord.gg/9PPtkHFNJ. That's where I answer questions about the parts the docs don't cover yet.
