CharGen

Worldbuilding and tabletop RPGs Build the world your players come back to each week. Create a city, the factions fighting over it and the NPC who secretly works for both sides. Save them in your campaign, build an encounter around their next move, and use your session notes to remember which side the party promised to help.

Image, video and audio generation Make a character portrait, illustrate a location or edit an image from your gallery. Turn a harbour painting into a video with a flickering lighthouse, compose music for the docks, or give the ferryman a voice. You can also add sound effects to a clip you already have.

Game assets and animation Turn a character from your gallery into a pixel art sprite sheet for your RPG. Choose four or eight directions and poses for walking, fighting or casting spells. For environment art, turn a location sketch into a 3D-style diorama illustration.

Getting started Connect your CharGen account. For image-based workflows, select an image from your gallery. Available tools depend on your account. Generated library entries are public by default; you can change their visibility in CharGen.
