Build an agentic full-stack tabletop game master application
I've run AI-powered tabletop game master sessions at conferences where the audience became the adventuring party and an AI ran the game. Audiences loved it. Now it is time you build the whole thing yourself.
In this workshop, you'll start with a pre-built UI and mock data for a tabletop role-playing game. Over the next few hours, you'll turn that static shell into a working full-stack application with real-time multiplayer sync and an AI game master that narrates encounters, controls enemies, and responds to player actions.
You will build:
- Authentication so players can sign in and own their characters
- Persistent game state for characters, inventory, and encounter history
- Real-time multiplayer sync so all players see the action as it happens
- An agentic game master with memory that tracks the story across turns
- File storage for character portraits and map assets
and have a running application where players can join a session, take actions, and have an AI game master.
