QuestForge
Tabletop RPG adventure creation toolkit for ages 9-14 — point-buy character math, dice probability, branching narratives, hex-grid encounter maps, and resource economics, guided by Lorekeeper (the AI mentor) and a 5-character cast of TTRPG-design practitioners.
Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.

#C9954A Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
QuestForge's cast is 5 TTRPG-design practitioners — Sheet (character-build math), Roll (dice probability), Fork (branching stories), Hex (encounter maps), Hoard (resource economy). Each embodies one design primitive; together they show that running a tabletop adventure is many small crafts working together. Lorekeeper is the mentor who introduces them.
Sheet
Point-buy character creation + stat optimization — every build is a legitimate story
Read chapter →
Roll
Dice probability + distribution — dice don't remember; every roll is its own universe
Read chapter →
Fork
Branching narrative + decision design — two paths, both real, both lead somewhere
Read chapter →
Hex
Encounter map grid + range/AOE geometry — math you can SEE
Read chapter →
Hoard
Resource economics + budget — tools-not-trophies; counter-tropic friendly dragon
