Hello All,

I've been using FL on and off for a while now (unsubbed couple of times when my scenarios lost all context). I've mostly played my own scenarios which i take an absurd amount of time trying to build. They've served well through thousands of turns and i mostly play them until the memory cards fill up.

My style is pretty much grounded, city-life RPGs. I take time to build cards about the city systems (transport, accommodation, job opportunities, school/studying, weather, rumors, social media, health), tried different CIs, economy systems, danger etc. I don't know why but i just can't get myself to play anything fantastic, abstract and linear. I also like well-built scenarios of some fictional universes but only the ones that i actually know about.

I've been looking for other comprehensive scenarios that tried tackling this theme whether its a Zero to hero type of start, college, career whatever but couldn't really find anything that fits the bill. I know how hard it is for the systems (money/attribute tracking, immersive city/social dynamics triggering, consistent dating-sim mechanics) to hold but at this point i just want to explore what others built as i don't have the mental capacity to build another comprehensive scenario right now. My current ones are outdated.

1. I would appreciate if you have any suggestions for such grounded sandbox scenarios.

2. If you have any tips regarding building of such scenarios, i'd be happy to learn.

Kinda embarrassing to ask, but in my own experience...I really can't tell. I've had Ultra for a while now and I've played with Arcanum and Paragon and haven't really bothered with the other Ultra LLM models. Am I missing out on anything? What Ultra model is best for NSFW roleplays? I've been testing them myself but I want some concrete and definitive answers if anyone would like to give me their take

Additionally, what Ultra model is best for roleplays with a serious, heavy tone? I've been using Arcanum for general slice-of-life roleplays. Its a versatile all-rounder model but I feel like other models would specialize in NSFW or darkness better and I just haven't had the motivation to play around with all the models

When I was a Plus user, I'd use Oracle for general roleplaying and switch to Chimera for NSFW

You and Elliot were together for almost four months. He paid. You liked each other. Work ended it. That was a year and a half ago.

Friday a friend introduced you to his son. You didn’t know. You’ve spent the weekend in his loft.

Sunday morning he lets himself in and finds you.

The Undead Bride — A Gothic Romance Sandbox

Approximately 380 years ago, a shy young noblewoman named Lenore von Ravensburg fell hopelessly in love with you.

Unfortunately, she was too shy to talk to you.

Then you fucking died.

Naturally, she stole your skeleton, ran away with a sizeable chunk of her family's fortune & spent the next several centuries mastering forbidden necromancy.

Thirty years after your death, she married your corpse.

You weren't particularly talkative during the ceremony.

But now, after nearly four centuries of research, she's finally brought you back to life. Properly alive. Flesh, blood, heartbeat, free will. The works.

There's just one little complication.

Somewhere along the way, Lenore summoned a mischievous, shamelessly flirtatious imp named Lenny.

Lenny is also your wife.

She's Lenore's wife, too.

Welcome home, darling.

--------

The Undead Bride is a character-driven Gothic sandbox featuring two devoted wives, a haunted lakeside estate, an eccentric household of monsters & a world that carries on with or without you.

Romance, domestic comedy, supernatural horror & whatever the hell you decide to do with your second chance at life.

Does anyone ahve an effective method of ensuring the AI isnt completely useless? whenever i start a scenario, it basically needs to be abandonned after 500 turns or so because the AI just stops remembering things. once the 100 pinned memories limit is met its basically game over for me and im on Ultra tier and feel like its a massive waste of money at this point.

suggestions?

Death comes when he speaks your name, but tonight, he has chosen silence.

I know fiction lab has VERY lax rules, but I just wanna make sure. I am creating a pretty complex world set in the 1930s, specifically the city of Juxera. Juxera is a city in Mariola, and Mariola is a fascist state. The POV character is a 15 y/o named Maria, and she is essentially the shopkeeper alongside her mother. She has a complex friend group, and the city is already pretty fleshed out. It isn'y necessarily dystopian, since I'm trying to portray a realistic fascist state, so basically, if you keep Maria out of trouble, which isn't that hard, the state will provide basic protection, security, healthcare and social services.Canonically, the state does a lot of horrible, messed up stuff, such as arresting dissidents and either summarily executing them or sending them to work camps, deporting those with too dark skin and or other "undesireable" traits to colonies to work even more, and has apartheid like race laws. The point is kind of to pose the question: At what point will the suffering of others make you put yourself at risk, if at all? Basically, you can literally just live your live any way you want. You can *try* to resist the party, but the world operates off of cause and effect so you could just get uncerimoniously shot, captured, tortured, etc.

MY MAIN CONCERN:

As a shopkeeper, Maria has many rules to follow and things to do. For example, one of these is the "race taxes" ranging from a class I to a class III tax based on how desireable their traits are according to the Mariolan racial policy. I, for one, am not a fascist. I'm a black dude living in the middle of San Diego, California for god's sake. My question is, how far can I go before I risk all my progress getting deleted by some AI that says my scenario is too racist or whatever? Is there even any AI enforcing that stuff? Also, what about sexual scenarios? I personnaly created it to be completely up to the player, with no hint to sex or sexual activities, but the age of the main character kind of urks me cause I don't like the idea of a grown ass man using my character as some sex doll. Moreover, since I want this to be brutally realistic without just trying to get shock value, there are no safeguards around Maria getting SA'd, although because of the setting there is little danger of that since Mariola is oretty much just as tamed by civilization as any country in 2026.
Am I overthinking it? Are any of these even problems in the first place?

I'm looking for snake boyfriend or snake husband. It can be large cast with a snake guy in it. Recommendations?

You came to Brooklyn to uncover Nightweaver's identity.

You weren't expecting Nessa Calloway.

She's 27, works behind the bar at The Finch, flirts like it's second nature, and has a talent for making an ordinary evening feel like something worth remembering.

She also has a secret.

As you photograph the neighborhood, follow leads, meet familiar faces, and find your place in Brooklyn, the investigation becomes increasingly complicated by one inconvenient fact: You're falling for someone you don't entirely understand.

Expect: a sweet romance, investigative mystery, civilian life, rooftop patrols, neighborhood regulars, emotional tension, and a Brooklyn that feels lived in. Just one vigilante, one city, and two lives that were never supposed to overlap.

Would you risk the truth for the person you're falling for?

Hey, everyone! Newcomer here! I recently jumped ship from another platform and decided to give FL a try. Subscribed to Plus yesterday, and I’ve been playing around with Ember pretty much nonstop since then, haha. I’m seriously loving it so far!
That said, I have a quick question for those who’ve been around longer. Is there any way to make the model’s responses noticeably longer? I’ve already switched the response length setting to ‘Longer,’ but I’m a sucker for detailed, immersive writing, and I’d honestly love it if the replies had a bit more meat on their bones. The writing quality itself has been fantastic, so this is really more of a personal preference. I’m just wondering if there’s some trick I’m missing, whether it’s a setting, prompting technique, or something else entirely. And believe me, I’m feeding it some pretty beefy inputs myself. I’m a chronic over-writer, so I guess I’m just hoping to find a way to make the model keep up with me!

Hey everyone! After putting a ton of work into worldbuilding, characters, and mechanics, I just published my very first campaign on FictionLab: The Blackglass Crown.

Since this is my first scenario, I am actively looking for feedback! Whether it's how the pacing feels, how the lore cards trigger, character interactions, or anything you think could be improved, I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts.

🌹 The Premise

Lethariel is a world of elves—and every elf is a woman. Beings like you exist here only in bawdy bathhouse legends that nobody quite believes. Until tonight.

Six hundred years ago, on the Night of the Hollow Crown, the highest of the seven deities—Aphrael, the Open Rose, Goddess of Love and Lust—vanished in a single night. Her temples stood empty by morning, her name disappeared from every tongue, and her six sisters divided her power without remembering she ever existed. Without her, the peace rotted and the realm fractured into three warring queendoms.

Now Aphrael has woken as a rose-gold spectre bound to a black blade called Heartthorn, with the strength for one single act. She spent it summoning you.

You wake at dusk below Rosewatch, a ruined frontier fort with leaking roofs, no coin, no training, and five drunk deserters squatting in the lodge. Only you can hear or see the goddess at your side.

⚔️ What Awaits You in Lethariel

• Three Early Companions (And Nearly 50 Named Women Across the World):
  • Sirielle Vane: A haughty high-elven healer fleeing a noble marriage who will save your life and lecture you the entire time.
  • Vessa Duskholme: A breathtaking exiled dark-elven assassin with a price on her head and every hidden road of the deep in her memory.
  • Mira Sorrel: A loud, laughing Virellian archer with a broken mercenary company, a bad debt, and the best aim on the frontier.
  • Beyond Rosewatch, nearly 50 unique named women populate the realm—generals, courtesans, guildmistresses, priestesses, oracle-scholars, and privateers—each with her own speech style, goals, rivalries, and ties.
• Three Queendoms & Three Queens to Win:
  • Aetheriel (The Northern Mountains): Proud, lawful high elves ruled by High Queen Elariel Starcrown, who has never once been told what to do.
  • Nythravel (The Underground Sea): Dark elves of shadow magic, masks, and assassination, ruled by Dusk Queen Nyssara Veyl, a courtesan-sorceress who seduced and cursed her way onto the Velvet Throne.
  • Virellia (The Southern Coast): A rich, hedonistic merchant realm where everything has a price, ruled by Merchant Queen Cassara Valenne, who would be delighted to negotiate yours.
  • Conquer all 12 cities across the three realms by Heart, Sword, Shadow, or Coin—or win a Queen to bring her entire realm under your banner.
• Restore a Forgotten Goddess & Win Her Six Sisters:
  • Guide Aphrael through 5 stages—from Bound Rose (a spectral voice only you can hear) to Returning Heart, Walking Goddess, Divine Consort, and Love Reborn.
  • Seek out her six sisters (Ithriel, Vaelune, Vexara, Lyssara, Ilvaneth, and Orissa) to win their hearts and reclaim Aphrael's stolen Divine Shards.

📜 Core RPG Mechanics (Built for Long-Form Play)

• No Instant-Love Syndrome (6-Tier Bond System): Every woman starts at Stranger and progresses through Acquaintance → Friend → Intimate → Beloved → Rosebound based on shared fights, kept promises, and helping her achieve her personal goal. Nobody falls into your bed on night one—not even a goddess. As her rank rises, both her trust and how she dresses around you change.
• Rebuild Rosewatch (5 Base Tiers): Raise your frontier ruin into a Haven, Hold, Town, and finally the Crown of Roses by managing People, Food, Coin, and Arms.
• Zero Plot Armor & In-World Training: You start untrained in Combat, Magic, Survival, and Leadership. Recruit trainers across the world to learn everything from dawn sword-drills to midnight shadow magic. Fights play out one tactical exchange at a time, and rest/fatigue matter.
• Live Status Tracking: Every reply tracks [Week & Day | Time | Location | Aphrael's Stage | Rosewatch Tier | Rest State], and typing status at any time displays your full progression, bonds, skills, and active promises.
• An Endgame Mystery: Unite the three queendoms to uncover the truth of the Night of the Hollow Crown—and face the one waiting behind the fused obsidian walls of Blackglass.

💬 Looking for Feedback!

Because this is my first campaign (and a pretty ambitious one at 105 lore cards!), I'd love to hear from anyone who gives it a spin:

1. How does the opening at Rosewatch feel?
2. Are the Bond Ranks, combat exchanges, and status header tracking smoothly on your preferred model?
3. Any characters, cities, or mechanics you'd like to see tweaked or expanded?

Thanks for checking it out, and let me know how your run goes!

DRAGONBOUND — A Fantasy MHA Open-World Scenario

The last dragon died centuries ago.

At least, that’s what everyone in Avarenne believes.

You were hunting in the Dragonspine Mountains when something enormous fell from the sky. What you found should not exist: a wounded dragon.

And when its voice entered your mind… you heard it.

An ancient Dragon Bond awakens, granting you raw elemental magic—and somewhere else in the kingdom, a Guardian is marked and pulled toward someone they have never met.

6 Dragons: Fire • Water • Earth • Air • Lightning • Shadow
6 Guardians: Katsuki • Kirishima • Mina • Shoto • Izuku • Shinso
True independent RNG: 36 possible Dragon/Guardian combinations, unless you choose your own.

Dragonbound is open-world, but it is not plotless. Hide your dragon. Run. Investigate. Take contracts. Make allies. Make enemies. Lie to the Wyrmguard. Dig into history. Ignore the suspicious shit and go do something else entirely.

Meanwhile, the Crown has secrets, the Red Hawk is paying attention, mercenary factions have their own agendas, and something about the history Avarenne remembers doesn't add up.

Your choices matter. Precautions work. NPCs have their own motives and information. The world keeps moving whether you chase the mystery or not.

Your dragon survived extinction. Your Guardian is coming. What happens next is yours.

Recommended: Arcanum or Eclipse.

Six mortals. Six pantheons. Six gods.

You don't choose your god.

The Gauntlet does.

Your ancestry determines the pantheon. Your actions determine the archetype. And somewhere between Greek, Norse, Slavic, Egyptian, Celtic, and Mesopotamian mythology, one god gets bound to you for the duration of the run.

The other five competitors? They're already out there.

Surviving. Making alliances. Finding things before you do. Pissing off things you haven't met yet.

And the Gauntlet does not wait for you to catch up.

Every run is different. Every pairing is different. There is no script.

Welcome to The Gauntlet.

Try not to die before your god finds you.

Hi, I’ve been using the app for a long time—specifically the free version, since I can't make purchases due to the situation in my country.

So, what’s going on? Why does everything seem so buggy? Dialogue is repeating, scene descriptions are playing over and over again, and there’s even a bug with the voice playback. I was genuinely happy with the free version up until just a few minutes ago when I updated it 😕.

It even speaks the dialogue to the user! And it repeats the words a few times.

Is anyone else having the same experience right now?

CONGRATULATIONS! You've been accepted to Greythorn University!

Nestled in beautiful Rhode Island, Greythorn offers academic excellence, exciting social opportunities and four dangerously attractive roommates with just one tiny, insignificant detail you should probably know!

Humans by Day, Demons by Night. And your Professor? Also a Demon!

So unpack those bags, sweetheart. Your new life starts here!

Hiii, so I’m a user migrating from Chai. I’ve known and used fiction lab for a while now, but ever since Chai went fully down the drain I’ve completely moved over to fiction lab. Would yall say the plus subscription is worth it? I’m fine with the pricing for plus, I just want to hear y’all’s opinion. The free tier is good for what it is, it’s just that there’s a lot of scenarios that are lore heavy and don’t play out as well on the free tier. So yeah. 🫶

I'm having a really frustrating time with the bot. It keeps using dialogue to repeat everything that ever happened instead of moving the scene forward or contributing.

Every time a character speaks it will say something like "this happened, this happened and now you want this." And then add one sentence of original text.

Then my character's turn. They will repeat what I said back literally, even saying their own characters name or using you to apply to themselves, and then continue to repeat events that happened. I have tried everything I can think of, copy pasted llms, rerolled, used ooc, added instructions, but the bot just circles back to it after one time. I currently have plus.

Also, ive noticed that the characters are doing the same actions over and over like 'pauses with hand on door.' For almost every single scene that I have in a room with someone. I keep rerolling and rerolling and changing bots.
