Claude Code Plugin for D&D Campaigns Using Markdown State Tracking

A developer has created a Claude Code plugin that enables Claude to run Dungeons & Dragons campaigns as a Dungeon Master. The system uses markdown files to track campaign state, allowing for solo play without needing a human DM.

How It Works

The plugin is built as a simple system based on markdown files that tracks campaign state. Users install it as a Claude Code plugin, then run the command /claude-dnd:new-campaign to start a new game. The developer describes playing a campaign where they took on the role of a noble outcast who needed to bribe, lie, and outsmart their way back into higher social circles.

Setup and Usage

• The tool is free and open-source, available on GitHub
• Installation is done as a Claude Code plugin
• After installation, use /claude-dnd:new-campaign to begin playing
• The system consists of markdown templates and skill files

The developer reported getting lost in a tailored campaign for two days, comparing the experience to receiving a new NES game for Christmas as a child. The repository contains the complete setup for running D&D sessions with Claude as the DM.
