Guildmaster
Interactive fantasy idle: run the guild, play the professions, send heroes to the dungeons.
by Elvenry Studios · 2023 · Web (itch.io)
Guildmaster is Elvenry Studios' interactive fantasy idle, and the 'interactive' is the pitch: unlike a pure idler it hands you profession minigames (mining, potion-crafting, bartending), quests and dungeons for your heroes, a crafting layer, and an ad-free build. It runs on itch.io, verified live, with the guildhall cover above vision-confirmed.
What the loop feels like
Your heroes quest, your miners mine, and the tavern's bartender pays for it all. That's Guildmaster.
Playing it today
Free and ad-free on itch.io, with six official screenshots above. Disambiguation is documented: frusby's Guildmaster (a turn-based sim) and Kongregate's Idle Adventurers Guild Master were both checked and rejected.
The verdict
A polished middle path between idle and management RPG: enough minigame to feel present, enough automation to stay idle, and no ads in sight.
