Taonere
Taonere is a free browser-based LitRPG featuring an AI game master. It combines gacha-style hero summoning with tabletop d20 mechanics and procedural storytelling. Players summon unique heroes, assemble a party, and climb an infinite tower while each expedition round is narrated by an AI as if it were a novel. According to the official site, every hero is one-of-a-kind and no hero is ever summoned twice; death is permanent, giving each run real roguelike stakes.
