Make your wormcard.
Answer a few questions, build a burrowing character, and save the card for your group’s text-world.
Run a burrow with wormcards.
AI-assisted BB is the priority workflow. The human Dimensional Master and AI work together; the human Dimensional Master mediates the table and protects the source. A paper or document version remains playable.
How BB is played
- Choose the anchor text and module. A story, poem, article, film, image, song, game, or historical document becomes the world. Read its reusable module in ModuleCanon (MC) before play.
- Make wormcards. Each player builds a character who can cross into that world.
- Give the wormcards to the Dimensional Master. The human guide and AI translate them into play.
- Turn assignments into quests. There are no dice. Reading, writing, research, revision, and discussion drive the consequences.
- Let time matter. Record this group’s players, choices, consequences, discoveries, and next steps in CampaignCodex (CC).
Download the BB play instructions. For Thank You, Ma’am, start with the MC module and its source dossier.
Trying it out? Ask for “a new Thank You, Ma’am demo with three fictional players.” The DM starts fresh, keeps the story’s characters separate from the players, and saves the demonstration separately from real sessions.
Made first for voluntary seminar play
Use BB in a reading group, club, tutoring session, family, or seminar. Schools can use the same text-world logic for required work.
