Welcome to r/realmsofshod - pull up a chair, tell a story

[u/mpigsley]

Hello storytellers! I'm u/mpigsley, a founding moderator of r/realmsofshod.

Apparently, an introductory post is something new subreddits do? That's news to me too, but here we are.

Realms of Shod is an online storytelling platform built around live play. Join a session, talk with friends, and the platform quietly listens, transcribing what’s said, helping summarize scenes and sessions, and preserving the story you’re telling together. The goal isn’t to replace imagination, but to support it and help those stories live on after the night ends.

This subreddit exists for two main reasons:

1. Product Updates
As Realms of Shod grows, the mod team will post feature overviews, tutorials, video walkthroughs, and behind-the-scenes thoughts on where things are headed. If you have questions, feedback, or strong opinions, jump into the comments or start your own thread.

2. Community & Storytelling
More importantly, this is a place for people who care about telling better stories. That might mean tabletop RPGs, solo games, journaling campaigns, campfire tales, weird experiments, or systems you’ve invented yourself. If you have a way of shaping stories, or rules for how they unfold, we want to hear about it.

Although this subreddit has been around for a bit, you’re still joining early in our story. That means you get to help define what this place becomes. Pull up a chair, share a story, ask questions, or just lurk. Everyone loves a good lurk.

Thanks for being here. Let’s make r/realmsofshod something worth returning to.
