Role-play is the same machinery as the chat, aimed differently. Aim it at your book and it becomes a rehearsal room: interview the antagonist, argue with your own protagonist, test whether the duke's motive survives a hostile question. Aim it away from the book and it becomes an evening: the spider has run worse dungeons.
The two flavours are kept deliberately apart, so the rehearsal never leaks into the manuscript and the game never wears the work clothes.
Characters with voice profiles, scenes with stakes, and a counterpart that stays in character because it has read the compendium entry. Rehearse the confrontation before you draft it, and keep the transcript as notes. Roleplay for writing.
No manuscript attached, no goal, no word counts. Set a scene, pick the players, and see where the evening goes — solo adventures, improv prompts, or the campaign your tabletop group keeps rescheduling. Roleplay for fun.
Role-play sessions run through the same AI layer as everything else: your API keys, or a local model through Ollama. A local model makes a fine dungeon master and costs nothing per token — the dragon's hoard stays as free as the rest of the app.
