🔥 Campfire

Gather your whole campaign around one fire.

Campfire is the open-source, self-hosted home for your tabletop game — quests, NPCs, a living world and timeline, battle maps with fog of war, a full combat tracker, and auto-drafted session recaps, all in one place.

Then seat an AI Dungeon Master at the table — a co-DM that only proposes, or a full driver that runs the session — or drive the whole campaign from an AI agent over MCP. You host it. You own the data. One container, one volume.

Why Campfire

  • An AI in the DM seat

    Optional and experimental — seat an AI as a co-DM (it only proposes; every change lands in your approval queue) or a full driver that narrates and runs the session. Token budgets, a kill switch and player recovery levers keep you in control; it can never overwrite canon without a nod.

  • Everything a table needs

    Campaigns, quests with objectives and subquests, NPCs and factions with secrets, a world map and a living timeline, character sheets with at-the-table HP and conditions, session prep, and auto-drafted recaps.

  • Run the fight

    A full initiative/combat tracker with a dice roller and click-to-roll, battle maps with tokens and fog of war — monster HP and hidden NPCs stay DM-only — plus a player-display screen for the TV.

  • Real rule systems

    Install D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e and Open Legend in one click from open sources (more by mirror URL or open-licensed upload) — statblocks, spells and rules lookups in a searchable compendium, dropped straight into an encounter.

  • Agent-operable over MCP

    A built-in 277-tool MCP server exposes your campaign to any AI agent — read, write, or fully run it — with a DM-approval proposal queue so nothing touches your canon without approval, and every action audit-logged.

  • Self-hosted, secret, yours

    DM-only fields, hidden entities and private notes are stripped server-side, never merely hidden in the browser. One Docker image, one SQLite volume; local accounts or your own SSO. MIT-licensed, export anytime — no lock-in.

Project status

Campfire is in active development; the current release is v0.14.1. The core play loop is complete and well-tested, and the AI Dungeon Master is shipping but still gated as experimental — see the Roadmap & status for exactly what's done, what's experimental, and what's planned next.
