FAQ
Straight answers.
Short answers to what people ask first.
Is it online? Does anyone monitor it?
No. It runs on your computer with a model you run yourself. There are no accounts, no analytics, no telemetry and no cloud AI. We never see your chats or saves, and we do not want to. The only thing that can reach the internet is a YouTube ambience link that you add.
How old do I have to be?
18. SoloRoleplayer// and its companions are for adults.
What is it, exactly?
A turn-based roleplay frontend: a game shell with memory, in which the model plays one character and only that character. It is not a chatbot or a story generator.
What do I need?
A computer that can run a local model (16 GB of RAM or more for a 12B model in 4-bit), a local model server, and the model. A Windows test build is out; Mac users can run it from source.
Which model should I use?
Mistral Nemo abliterated, with the Anti-H 2.0 LoRA. Any OpenAI-compatible local server works, but results vary with the model.
Why not the earlier Qwen version?
The Qwen lane was a fine first attempt. Nemo goes deeper into the roleplay, is more skillful, makes better use of the app's scene memory and handles a wider range of subject matter.
How much does it cost, and what is the license?
Free for noncommercial use. Commercial use needs a license: ask at support@wordblocklabs.com. The app is source-available under the PolyForm Noncommercial license on GitHub.
Can I mod it?
Modders are welcome. File formats will be documented and tools for modders are planned.
Does it still head-hop?
Much less, not never. In a four-run benchmark, head-hopping in what the player sees was 6% of replies with Anti-H 2.0, against 24% for the base model. If the model starts to head hop, it can be reset by stopping your LLM server, closing the SoloRoleplayer session and restarting both. The model is still being perfected and still hiccups now and again.
Where is the download?
On GitHub: github.com/O-word/solo-roleplayer has the Windows installer and portable file, the source and the guides. The model and the Anti-H 2.0 LoRA are on Hugging Face. The download page links all three.
How is this different from SillyTavern?
SillyTavern is built for chat-style play with many characters, lorebooks and a huge extension ecosystem. SoloRoleplayer// is built for structured, turn-based roleplay in the style of the MUSH games, with rooms, a map, scene memory and one companion per world. See the side-by-side comparison.

Made by WordBlock Labs.
A solo project. SoloRoleplayer// is for adults, 18 and over. It runs offline on your own computer and is not monitored: you are responsible for how you use it.
