How to start
- Open your AI. Start a new chat in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. No paid plan required.
- Load chapter one. Paste the opening chapter's starter prompt. The AI boots Ironquill and sets your company at the tower's severed base.
- Climb the spire. Describe your actions and descend the tower. The AI narrates, rolls off the pre-rolled dice tape, and voices the world.
- Save between chapters. Take a save code at each chapter's end. Paste it to continue with your company and choices intact.
Questions
- How long is the campaign?
- Chapter 1 is available now and runs about 90 to 180 minutes. It is the first of a planned three-chapter campaign; Chapters 2 and 3 are not out yet. Each chapter is a self-contained descent through part of the tower, and a save code at the end of Chapter 1 will carry your company and their choices into the next chapter when it releases.
- Do I need to play The Toll at Blackbridge first?
- No. The Severed Spire stands alone and teaches what you need as you climb. Blackbridge is a shorter tutorial for the same Ironquill system, so it is a gentle warm-up, but it is not required.
- Can I play the whole thing solo?
- Yes. Built for one or two players, the campaign runs solo with the AI as game master handling every character but yours. With two players you share a company and split the tower's decisions between you.
- What carries between chapters?
- Your characters, their injuries, gear, and the choices you made. A save code at the end of each chapter encodes that state; paste it to begin the next chapter, in the same AI or a different one, with your history intact.
