BARDO

(00) — For game masters, solo players and worldbuilders

Your world, on record

A Markdown workspace for tabletop RPG campaigns, with a history you can trust. An AI Storyteller that plays from your records is coming later.

Invite-only for now · Free during the beta

(01) — The Storyteller, in preview

DEMO

A scripted turn from the coming Storyteller. Follow the records, make a choice, see what changes. No live AI.

  • You act: Say what your character intends, in your own words.
  • Bardo consults: Relevant records give the scene its context.
  • It clarifies: An unclear intention becomes a question, not a guess.
  • The record grows: This example asks approval before recording the encounter.

(02) — Available today

The workspace

The demo is where Bardo is going. This is what works now: one place for a campaign’s notes, with every version kept. No AI needed.

The Bardo workspace: a folder tree of campaign notes beside an open note about Midgard, with its places and open threads.The Bardo workspace: a folder tree of campaign notes beside an open note about Midgard, with its places and open threads.

  1. 01 — Write

    Notes in Markdown

    Lore, characters, sessions and rules, saved as you type.

  2. 02 — Organize

    Shaped like a campaign

    One project per world, with folders for its people, places and sessions.

  3. 03 — Find

    Search every note

    Jump to a note by name, or search the text of the whole project.

  4. 04 — Revisit

    Restore any version

    Each note keeps its earlier versions. Compare one and bring it back.

(03) — Beyond the chat

WHY NOT
JUST CHAT?

Because a campaign needs more than a reply. Bardo starts with the record; the Storyteller, coming later, plays from it.

A CAMPAIGN IS MORE THAN A CONVERSATION. IT HAS A PAST. A NAME AT THE FERRY. A DEBT LEFT UNPAID. A STRANGER WHO HEARD HALF THE STORY. BARDO KEEPS A RECORD. PEOPLE YOU HAVE MET. PLACES TO RETURN TO. EARLIER DRAFTS, KEPT.

ONE WORLD. ONE RECORD. ONE STORYTELLER. IT WILL READ BEFORE IT ANSWERS. A SOURCE, NOT A GUESS. A PROPOSAL IS CHECKED BEFORE IT IS A FACT. THE WORKSPACE IS HERE. THE STORYTELLER, NEXT. THE RECORD IS YOURS.

(04) — What you can rely on

Your writing,kept.

Six behaviours, stated plainly. Five work today; the sixth is how the Storyteller is built.

  • 01 — Saving

    A stale save never overwrites newer text.

    If a note changed somewhere else, you see both versions and choose.

  • 02 — History

    Earlier versions are kept, and you can restore them.

    Restoring adds a new version on top. Nothing is deleted along the way.

  • 03 — Privacy

    Another account cannot read your project.

    Each request is checked against the project’s owner.

  • 04 — Offline

    Unsent text stays on your device.

    If a save cannot reach the server, your draft waits in the browser.

  • 05 — Telemetry

    Your writing stays out of analytics.

    File contents are left out of usage analytics and error reports.

  • 06 — StorytellerComing later

    A proposal is not a fact.

    The Storyteller is built to propose changes; each is validated before it joins your record.
