The Undying DM · Live on Twitch
A live 2D RPG on Twitch where the crowd controls Kessen, a fallen mage possessed by the Substrate. AI generates the story, world, characters and dialogue while a deterministic, 5E-compatible engine resolves the consequences.
Xarnak — a theatrical lich — doesn't follow a scripted adventure. The AI generates rooms, encounters, NPCs, quests and twists live from what the crowd does, inside the persistent canon of Vaelis. A deterministic, 5E-compatible engine resolves the consequences.
There is one character — Kessen the Divided — and everyone plays
him at once. Send a direction, vote with an option number, or use
!action to propose what he should attempt next.
At turning points, Xarnak puts Kessen's fate to a vote of the whole chat. When the crowd agrees, Kessen becomes Focused; when it divides, the Substrate leaves him Scattered. The crowd makes the choice canon.
No site account to create. Open the stream, type a direction in chat with your Twitch account, and you are already playing.
Think less “virtual tabletop”, more a video game whose content is generated live. You watch a 2D world on stream — rooms, corridors, doors, monsters — and Kessen moves through it because the chat tells him to. The current adventure is not pre-rendered: the AI Dungeon Master builds its maps and encounters live, drawing on the persistent canon of Vaelis and reacting to what the crowd just did. Push an unexpected door and the game generates what follows. Underneath that improvisation, a deterministic engine resolves every attack, saving throw, skill check and XP award strictly from the 5e SRD: the DM narrates outcomes but never fudges a number, so the danger is real. No group to find, no scheduling, no character sheet: one message and you are already playing, for free.
No site account, no download, nothing to install. A Twitch account is only needed when you want to send a move or an intention.

Each viewer's latest direction counts once, and the most-supported command moves him. See
How to Play.
When a vote appears, type its option number. Use !vote to ask
for a decision or !action your idea to propose what comes next. The moments the
game records live can enter the Hall of Legends.
No adventure path is scripted in advance. The world has a persistent canon, and every event becomes part of it when it happens live.
A living sourcebook of gods, cities and factions — with sealed records the live game unlocks one revelation at a time.
The story so far, the Quest Log, a day-by-day game record — and the toll of every fall, counted since the chat took the reins.
The moments worth replaying and 90 shared trophies — from the crowd's first command to Kessen becoming a living legend. Every point earned live.
Yes — watching and playing cost nothing. Watching needs no account; a free Twitch account is only needed to send commands and votes.
Yes. The whole Twitch chat controls Kessen together, so there is no private group to assemble or session to schedule.
Perfect — move Kessen with self-explanatory commands, then vote with a number when choices appear. The game handles the rules and shows the result live.
