We’ve all been there. You’re deep into an AI-generated story, the plot is thickening, your character is on the verge of a breakthrough... and then the AI completely forgets who you are. Suddenly, your grizzled dwarven warrior, Borak the Unbreakable, is being called "Jennifer" and has a sudden passion for collecting teacups. The immersion is shattered. The story collapses. It's frustrating.
For years, I’ve been playing around with AI storytelling tools, from the early days of AI Dungeon to tinkering with custom GPTs. It’s a fascinating space, but it’s always been plagued by this one, massive problem: narrative drift. AI's have the memory of a goldfish. They’re brilliant improvisers but terrible historians. They create beautiful, chaotic nonsense.
So, when I stumbled upon a new platform called My Adventures, my curiosity was piqued. Its core promise isn't just about generating content; it's about generating coherent content. A bold claim. Could this finally be the tool that lets us build worlds without them turning to sand in our hands? I had to find out.
What Exactly is My Adventures? (And Why Should I Care?)
On the surface, My Adventures looks like another platform for creating interactive fiction. But when you pop the hood, the engine is completely different. It’s not just a freewheeling Large Language Model (LLM) let loose on a prompt. It’s a system built on rules.
Think of it like this: most AI storytellers are like a wild, free-form jazz musician. They can hit some incredible notes, but they can also go off on a tangent that has nothing to do with the original song. My Adventures, on the other hand, is more like a seasoned orchestra conductor with a detailed score. It still allows for improvisation and creativity, but it’s all grounded in a foundational structure. It knows the key, the tempo, and which section is supposed to be playing.
How does it do this? Through a clever mix of what the creators call "deterministic procedural generation" and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). That sounds techy, I know. In simple terms, it means the AI has a cheat sheet. For every character, location, item, and plot point you create, the system maintains a rich data history. When the AI needs to generate something new, it doesn't just pull from the vast, generic soup of the internet; it retrieves the specific facts from your story. Borak the Unbreakable stays Borak the Unbreakable. A simple concept, but game-changing in practice.

The Core Toolbox for Your Inner World-Builder
My Adventures isn’t just one thing; it’s a suite of tools designed to work together. It gives you the lego bricks to build your narrative universe, rather than just handing you a finished, unchangeable model.
A World Generator That Does the Heavy Lifting
Every great story needs a great setting. The World Generator is your starting point for crafting the immersive backdrops for your adventures. Whether you're dreaming up a sprawling sci-fi metropolis dripping with neon or a classic fantasy kingdom nestled in a forbidden forest, this tool helps lay the foundation. It’s about creating the stage where your story will unfold.
The AI Story Master: Your Coherent Co-Pilot
This is the heart of the platform. The AI Story/Game/Dungeon Master is the conductor I was talking about. Because it's constrained by the facts of your world, the infamous AI "hallucinations" are drastically reduced. It won't suddenly invent a dragon in a hard sci-fi setting (unless you've established that's a thing). This focus on coherency is, for me, the single biggest selling point. It’s the difference between having a creative partner and a chaotic saboteur.
An Interactive Fiction Studio and Plot Generator
Once your world is set, you need a story. These tools help you move beyond aimless wandering. You can generate complex plots, design branching narratives, and build out adventure stories with real structure. It’s designed to help you create a journey with a beginning, middle, and end—a welcome feature for anyone who has gotten lost in the endless "and then..." loop of other generators.
The Good, The Bad, and The "Coming Soon"
No tool is perfect, right? Especially a new one. After kicking the tires, here’s my honest take on where My Adventures shines and where it still has some growing to do.
The biggest pro is, without a doubt, the narrative stability. I can’t stress this enough. Seeing an AI consistently remember character traits and world rules feels like magic. The flexibility to either carefully curate your story or let the AI generate content dynamically (within its rules) is also a huge plus. It feels structured, almost like an open-world RPG, where scenes, characters, and quests are defined entities.
On the flip side, there are a few things to be aware of. The most hyped feature, a full-blown Role-Playing Game Maker, is still listed as "Coming Soon." So if you're hoping to build a complete, stat-based RPG system tomorrow, you'll need to temper your expectations. I’m watching this one closely, because if they pull it off, it could be a monster. There's also a bit of a learning curve. You can’t just type "tell me a story" and expect perfection; you have to engage with the tools and build your world. A little effort is required.
And then there's the currency. It seems the platform will run on a system of 'ink' for generating content. This is a pretty common model in the AI space—a way to meter out server costs. The free ink might be limited, so heavy users will likely need to pay up. It’s a potential downside, but a predictable one in today's market.
Let's Talk About the Price... Or Lack Thereof
So, how much does this all cost? Well, that's the million-dollar question. As I'm writing this, I’ve scoured their site and there’s no pricing page to be found. In fact, the site itself feels very new, maybe even still under construction in places.
My educated guess? We'll probably see a freemium model. A certain amount of free "ink" per month to let you try things out, with subscription tiers or one-off ink purchases for the serious world-builders. This is a standard playbook for AI SaaS tools, from Jasper to Midjourney. It allows for a low barrier to entry while ensuring the power users who consume the most resources contribute to the upkeep. I’m okay with that, as long as the pricing is reasonable when it does drop.
Who is This For, Really?
So, who should be rushing to sign up for updates? In my opinion, My Adventures is shaping up to be a fantastic tool for a few specific groups:
- Tabletop GMs and Dungeon Masters: This could be an incredible tool for prep work. Generating plot hooks, fleshing out NPCs, or even co-piloting a session when you draw a blank? Yes, please.
- Writers and Novelists: Struggling with a plot hole or need to brainstorm a new subplot? The plot and world generators could be a powerful cure for writer's block, helping you see your story from a new angle without derailing it.
- Interactive Fiction Fans: If you grew up on Choose Your Own Adventure books or loved the classic text-based games from Zork to modern Twine creations, this is right up your alley.
However, if you're someone who loves the pure, unadulterated chaos of a completely unrestricted AI, this might feel a bit too... well, structured. It's for the builders, not the breakers.
Your Questions About My Adventures, Answered
How is My Adventures different from other AI story generators?
The main difference is its focus on coherence. It uses a system called RAG to remember the specific facts of your world—characters, rules, locations—which drastically reduces the nonsensical "hallucinations" and narrative drift common in other tools.
Can I use it to create a full D&D campaign?
As a support tool, absolutely. It's brilliant for generating ideas, NPCs, locations, and plot hooks. With the "RPG Maker" feature still in development, you can't build a fully stat-integrated campaign in the platform just yet, but it's an amazing assistant for your off-platform game.
What does "ink" mean? Is it free?
"Ink" appears to be the platform's credit system for using the AI to generate content. There will likely be a limited amount of free ink, with options to purchase more through subscriptions or packs. This is a common way for AI platforms to manage server costs.
Is My Adventures difficult to learn?
It has more of a learning curve than a simple prompt-and-go AI. Because it's a structured toolset, you'll get the best results by spending a little time learning how the world-builder and story generator work together. It rewards a bit of initial effort.
Can I share my stories with others?
Yes! The platform is designed to let you create and share your interactive stories with friends, letting them play through the adventure you've built.
When will the RPG Maker be released?
There's no official release date yet, it's just marked as "Coming Soon." It's best to keep an eye on their official announcements for any updates.
Is My Adventures the Future of AI Storytelling?
Look, the hype around AI can be exhausting. Every new tool promises to be a revolution. But My Adventures feels different. It feels less like a promise of god-like creation and more like a practical, well-designed tool for actual creators. It’s a step away from chaotic novelty and a step towards collaborative intelligence.
I’m genuinely excited to see this platform grow, especially once the RPG Maker lands. It's not about replacing the human storyteller; it's about giving them a better, smarter, and more reliable co-pilot. And after years of dealing with amnesiac AIs, that’s a future I’m more than ready for.
