CharGen

CharGen is a browser and mobile AI studio aimed squarely at people who run or play tabletop roleplaying games. Instead of a generic image generator, it organises everything around the needs of a session: portraits for player characters, NPCs, monsters and items; painted battlemaps drawn from a grid sketch; pixel-art animated sprites for virtual tabletops; and short looping scene films for mood and reveals. It advertises access to a very large library of image models and multiple video models, so you can trade speed against fidelity depending on the job.

What separates it from a plain art tool is the second half of the product. Twenty-four interlinked text generators cover names, NPCs, species, classes, taverns, settlements, regions, whole campaign settings, dungeons, loot, magic items, quests, encounters, hazards, puzzles, factions and pantheons. These write directly into a World Codex, where entities can be grouped into campaigns and arcs, linked together, and exported to tools like Foundry or Fantasy Grounds. A 'bundle' recipe can produce an NPC, the tavern they drink in, the monster they fled and the loot they hid in one pass, already connected.

There is also a session layer: recording, auto-generated recaps and storyboards, a Discord bot, and a Campaign Studio for notes. Character consistency is handled through saved Character References so the same face carries across images and video. The service runs on a credit currency called Gold, with a daily free allowance and text generators described as always free, and it has a companion mobile app for use at the table.
