Hey everybody, it’s been a while since I’ve made an update post, and I have a lot to share this time around. Because, while the stat block generator and the item generator had inline editing, I realized that in order for these tools to truly be of use to dungeon masters, they need to be more than generators — they need to be places where a DM can collaborate with the AI, modify outputs, and maintain a single source of truth for their creations: the settings they develop in the setting generator, the NPCs they build in the NPC generator, and the dungeons they construct in the dungeon generator.
So, after having battled some complexity on the back end, I managed to make something reasonably simple where people can click, edit, and essentially change any piece of information the tool produces. If a line of wording is off, or something needs just a bit of personal input or improvement, that can now be done directly in the interface. These changes have been implemented for the Setting Generator, the NPC Generator and the Dungeon Generator.
That shifts these tools from something that’s an interesting novelty — something that helps game masters brainstorm ideas — into something they can actually return to and reference for their campaigns. And that is really the goal moving forward.
I want to make sure each tool is as useful as possible. And while you’re free to maintain your own notes and your own campaign documents, I’m aiming to create a tool suite that’s useful and comprehensive enough that you can simply return to the site and reference what you’ve already created.
As a more personal update, these apps have shifted from being a side project to becoming my main focus. My contract ended in December, and after thinking about the current job market, the potential of these tools, and the amount of runway I have in savings, I’ve been doubling down on building this out. I’m still open to collaborations or job conversations — especially anything involving gaming or where gaming intersects with AI — but for now this project is my center of gravity.
Also, while this might be of less interest to long-time users, I’ve been more actively promoting the business, and part of that has meant creating a proper landing page — something clean, presentable, and easy to share, whether on Reddit, Facebook, or wherever people talk about their campaigns. The goal was to offer a better overview of everything in one place, a page people can send to friends without having to explain how all the pieces fit together.
