What is Smuggler?
Smuggler is a fast-paced, rules-light tabletop RPG about running illegal cargo across a dangerous galaxy. It's designed to work with an AI Game Master, allowing you to play solo or with friends without needing a human GM.
How does the AI Game Master work?
Our AI GM handles narrative generation, NPC interactions, mission creation, and rules adjudication in real-time. It adapts to your choices and creates dynamic, engaging stories on the fly.
Can I play without the AI GM?
Yes! Smuggler works great with a human Game Master (called a "Warden") too. The AI GM is optional and designed to remove barriers, not replace human creativity.
How long does a session take?
Smuggler sessions are designed to complete in 2-3 hours, perfect for busy schedules. Character creation takes just a few minutes, so you can jump right into the action.

What do I need to play?

Smuggler supports 2-6 players (including the Warden). You can play with friends online using our Virtual Tabletop platform, or in person using the digital tools.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes! Smuggler is designed to be accessible to everyone, including complete beginners. The rules are simple, character creation is quick, and the AI GM helps guide new players through their first sessions.
