A Dungeons & Dragons–style text RPG set in the Astra, a mythic Burma of the 37 Nats, Naga lakes, Belu caves and gilded stupas. Create heroes, roll the carved wooden dice, and quest together — 2 to 6 players, hot-seat multiplayer on one device.
Thousands of stupas hum with trapped Nat spirits across the Astra. Your party — at least 2 heroes — will bargain, sneak, and fight through living Myanmar myth. Every check is a d20 roll. Every Nat is watching.
Create at least 2 heroes in the Characters tab (or use the tavern heroes already waiting), add them to your party, then pick a dungeon above. The Nat Master (the game) will narrate — you choose, you roll, you live with it.
Every hero is described in words, like a classic D&D character sheet. Finish creating your hero, then write their hair, build, features and attire in the Appearance tab — it is inked onto their character-sheet PDF.
Dice of carved wood with kanote engravings, thrown the old Burmese an-sa way. Pick a die, add a modifier, roll with Advantage (take higher) or Disadvantage (take lower) on d20s. Nat 20 = the Nats applaud. Nat 1 = a Belu laughs.
Hot-seat multiplayer for 2–6 players: everyone shares this device. When it's your hero's turn, the banner says “Pass to …” — hand the phone over, roll your own dice, choose your own fate. One player can be Nat Master and read the story aloud. Just 2 players? Open the AI Nat Master tab — the AI runs the game and both of you play heroes.
Roll initiative to set combat order.
Gold, potions & offerings are shared — argue about them in character, like a real party.
Exactly two heroes at the table and nobody wants to run the game? The AI Nat Master takes the Game Master's seat — it invents the scenes, sets every DC, narrates the Nats and monsters, and calls for your rolls. Both of you just play your heroes. It runs entirely in this page: no sign-up, no server.
True online multiplayer — each player on their own device, together at one table. The host creates a room and gets a short code; friends join with the code, claim their heroes, and play the dungeon live: shared scenes, turn-by-turn choices, a common dice feed and party chat.
No accounts needed. The host's device runs the dungeon; everyone sees every scene live and acts on their hero's turn.
The Astra is a mythic Burma folded into one golden land: eight regions strung along the great river, each with its own Nats, monsters, and grudges. Tap a marker (or a region card) to read its lore, then travel there and take its quest.
Describe each hero in words, as on a classic D&D character sheet: hairstyle, build, distinctive features, and attire in the Burmese tradition. Tap any suggestion chip to add it, or write your own. What you save here is inked onto the hero's character-sheet PDF.
Portrait — set by PathThis is exactly how the hero's description appears on their roster card and character-sheet PDF. Portraits follow the hero's Path (class).
Every Path learns three signature powers, unlocked at Levels 1, 2 and 3 and fuelled by Spirit Points (SP), restored by a Long Rest at a shrine. Use a hero's unlocked powers below, or unleash damage powers from the combat menu.
Every blade, bow and sacred instrument of the Astra, painted in the classic fantasy-manual style. Equip and upgrade each hero's weapon here — upgrades cost shared party gold, and a +3 blade hums near Nats.
A codex of 340 creatures of the Astra — the Thirty-Seven Nats and their kin, Naga serpent kings, Belu ogres, Chinthe guardians, the Garuda host, great beasts, ghosts, Popa demons, Zawgyi alchemists and celestials — each with battle statistics, temperament, and the region it haunts. Every portrait is painted in the classic fantasy-manual style.
1) Each player creates 1 hero. Party needs 2–6 heroes. 2) Pick a dungeon. 3) The game narrates a scene — discuss as a party, then the active hero picks a choice. 4) Many choices need a d20 + attribute modifier vs a Difficulty (DC). Meet or beat it = success. 5) In combat, heroes act in initiative order, then the monster acts. Reduce it to 0 HP before it does the same to you. 6) Rest at shrines to heal. Nat 20 always succeeds spectacularly; Nat 1 always fails comically.

Myanmar's spirit pantheon, formalised by King Anawrahta at Bagan. Famous Nats you'll meet: Mahagiri (Lord of the Great Mountain, Popa), Hnamadawgyi (his sister, Lady Golden Face), Shwe Myo Pin, Thonbanhla, Ma Ngwe Taung, Shin Nemi, and the Min Mahagiri house Nat in every home's coconut shrine. Offer bananas & coconut, never beef near Popa, and don't wear red/black at certain shrines — the Nats notice.
| Creature | Notes |
|---|---|
| Chinthe | Lion guardian of pagodas. Proud, honorable, tests heroes. |
| Belu | Ogre of Popa jungle. Huge Might, loves riddles & rice wine. |
| Naga | Serpent king under lakes. Wise, venomous, keeps sunken treasure. |
| Galon (Garuda) | Eagle king, eternal foe of Nagas. Patron of knights. |
| Nat | Human-turned-spirit. Powerful, petty, party-loving. Bargain carefully. |
| Byala / Zawgyi | Alchemist wizard with flying hat. May offer immortality… at a price. |
When the party is exactly 2 heroes, the AI Nat Master takes the Game Master's seat so both humans can play. It invents a 5-scene quest plus a final boss, sets DCs that scale with depth (DC 11–15), and rules on anything you type: it maps your action to an attribute (fighting → Might, sneaking → Agility, praying → Spirit, reasoning → Wisdom, talking → Charm, enduring → Endurance), rolls d20 + your modifier, and narrates the outcome. Success earns gold and glory; failure costs 1d4 HP but always moves the story forward — the GM never lets a bad roll end the tale. Heroes alternate as active hero each scene. Against the Hollow Nat, land 3 successful blows before your party falls. With 3+ heroes, a human Nat Master is recommended instead.
Read scenes aloud with drama. Do voices for Nats (slightly offended, always). Let players try anything — set a DC and roll. A failed roll should move the story forward with a cost, not stop it. End sessions at shrines with tea and a cliffhanger.
The Astra is the golden land between the northern snows and the southern sea, ruled from no throne — the 37 Nats hold it in uneasy truce. Bagan Plains: four thousand stupas and the Chinthe who guard them. Mount Popa: the gods' own volcano, home of Mahagiri. Inle Lake: stilt villages above Naga courts. Rakhine Coast: pirate coves and tide temples. Shan Hills: terraced tea hills and star shrines. Irrawaddy Riverlands: the great river road of kings and smugglers. Chin Highlands: mist, tattooed warriors, sky-burial cliffs. Tanintharyi Forests: the deep green where the oldest trees remember older gods. Travel from the World Map; each region hides a quest, a monster, and someone who needs help.
Every Path learns 3 signature powers, unlocked at Levels 1, 2 and 3. Powers cost Spirit Points (SP) — each hero holds 3 + Spirit modifier SP, restored by a Long Rest. In combat, choose Powers on your turn; out of combat, use a hero's unlocked powers from their roster card. Zawgyi alchemy turns lead to luck; a Galon Knight calls the sky down; a Nat Speaker lets the 37 speak through one mouth. Powers never fizzle quietly — the Astra notices style.
A hero's weapon sets their damage die. Dha (the Burmese blade, d8), Spear (d8), War Bow (d6, Agility), Nat Drum (d6, Spirit), Jade Staff (d8, Wisdom), Hunting Bow (d6, Agility), Twin Daggers (d4+d4) and more. Weapons carry rarity — Common Fine Epic Legendary — granting +0 to +3. Any weapon can be upgraded at the roster with party gold: each +1 costs more than the last, and a +3 blade hums near Nats. Choose your starting weapon in the Creator; re-equip anytime from the roster.
Victories grant the whole party XP: 40 for a monster, more for a region quest or a dungeon crown. Levels rise at 120 XP per level. Each level brings +1 max HP, and Levels 2 and 3 unlock your Path's greater powers. The Astra keeps score in temple murals — heroes who finish regions get their faces painted a little larger.

The laws of the Beyond — read before you sign up. Creating an account means accepting all three.
1. The game. Bhadda Beyond & Infinity is a free text role-playing game set in the mythic Astra. Heroes, dice, quests and stories are yours to play; the world's art, writing and systems belong to the game.
2. Your account. You must be 13 or older to register. Keep your password secret — the Nats will not recover a stolen account for you. One account per traveller.
3. Fair play. No cheating, exploiting, or automating play. The AI Nat Master narrates for everyone equally; do not try to break it for others.
4. Content. Name heroes and describe deeds with care — nothing hateful, harassing, or obscene. The scribes may remove offending content without warning.
5. Availability. The game is offered as-is. Progress lives on your device unless you sign in; signed-in profiles sync identity only.
1. What we keep. If you register: your email, display name, and the date you accepted these regulations. Your heroes, settings and chronicle stay on your device.
2. What we never do. We never sell your data, never show ads, and never read your party's private quests.
3. Online play. Online Party uses live cloud rooms — the host creates a short code, friends join from their own devices, and scenes, dice and chat stay in sync.
4. Deletion. Sign in, open Profile, and choose Erase to wipe local data; ask the scribes to delete your account entirely.
1. Honour every traveller at the table — no harassment, hate, or cruelty, in chat or in character.
2. Let everyone play: share the dice, share the story, share the glory.
3. The Nat Master (human or AI) has the final word at the table. Argue the call after the session, not during.
4. Keep secrets secret — what is whispered at the table stays at the table.
Break these and the Nats will show you the door — accounts that harass or cheat are removed.
Built on Myanmar myth — Bagan • Popa • Indawgyi • Ava. Roll well, honour the Nats, and never split the party in a Belu cave.
Kan Kaung Bar Say — may your d20s be ever golden.
