Dragon's Door
Posted at the tavern door

Adventurers wanted.

A daily-turn text RPG in the spirit of the BBS door games — played from inside Claude Code, in one shared realm. Ten fights a day. A world to map, a town full of people worth knowing, and a dragon at the end of it.

Enter the realm See a morning

What waits beyond the door

Every turn reset at dawn

I. The hunt

Ten fights a day. Gold and experience if you win. If you lose, well — the healer keeps odd hours and takes coin.

II. The wild

There's more past the town gate than the forest. Nobody has a full map yet. Walk far enough and you'll find out why.

III. The cave and the bench

Some things in the ground are worth bringing back. Someone in town knows what to do with them.

IV. The townsfolk

The town has its regulars, and they keep their own hours. Stop and talk. People in this town know things.

V. The company

Charm counts for something here. Be good company and see where it gets you. Bards pass through now and then; some of them will sing about you.

VI. The others

One shared realm. Pick fights with other players, write them letters, read about each other in the morning paper. The dragon is still out there. Somebody will get to it first.

The realm keeps changing. You'll notice when it does.

How to enter

Three commands in Claude Code and you're at the door.

Plays best on Sonnet: good writing, quick, and light on usage. Any model plays fair, since the server makes every roll; bigger models just write fancier scenes.

  1. I/plugin marketplace add ericalexander/dragons-door
  2. II/plugin install dragons-door@dragons-door
  3. III/dragons-door:enter

For the best experience, turn on auto-update so new features arrive on their own: run /plugin, open Marketplaces, pick dragons-door, and choose Enable auto-update.
