01 — OUR TAKE
Who and what it suits
Friends & Fables is an AI RPG / interactive-fiction game rather than a companion or chat product, and it is clearly not affiliated with Dungeons & Dragons or Wizards of the Coast. In August 2026 the vendor announced a new platform (Craft) while stating that Friends & Fables will continue; this note reflects Friends & Fables itself. Pricing tiers and model names are time-sensitive.
