Because I was really wanting ELIZA (with contemporary generative text algorithms) to be my next GM. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Audiobooks are proof of a benevolent god who loves us.

Also: local libraries typically have audiobooks on CD and streaming.

Just sayin’… :slight_smile:

Are you sure this isn’t about ol’ Al Dungeon, the cut-rate DM you can hire down at the Bird and Baby Pub?

Always be suspicious when something that should trivially work as a website is turned into an app.

True. Unless:

  • …the app runs entirely inside your phone (or caches/syncs offline data) and you’re therefore not dependent on an actually connection to the server, considering the notoriously bad network coverage in many places around the world
  • … you want a great and snappy UI, which is in some cases simpler to achieve with native software
  • … as a programmer you decide you don’t want to code in JavaScript and/or for a browser that limits your options of doing things
  • … the app makes use of phone features not exposed to software running in the browser
