What is CharGen?
CharGen is an AI-powered toolkit for tabletop RPGs that creates stunning fantasy art, builds entire worlds on the fly, and helps DMs never lose a session again. The platform's core feature is the Sheet to Art tool, which uploads a PDF character sheet, D&D Beyond link, or screenshot, then reads race, class, gear, and flavor details to paint a portrait that matches the character exactly without any prompt wrangling required.
The AI Generation Studio offers four media types in one place: image generation (30+ models, 70 styles, 8K detail), video (bringing portraits to motion), audio (TTS, ambience, theme music, battle music), and battlemaps (top-down painted encounters). Eight bespoke art categories include Characters, NPCs, Monsters, Landscapes, Townmaps, Battlemaps, Items, and Spells, all with curated dropdowns and no prompting skills needed.
The Build feature creates entire worlds with 16 AI generators for names, NPCs, taverns, settlements, regions, monsters, factions, and their relationships. The Toolkit Index includes 17 generators covering Name, NPC, Character, Tavern, Settlement, Region, Building, Shop, Dungeon, Loot, Magic Item, Spellbook, Poetry & Lore, Monster, Hazard, Faction, and Miniature (3D-printable minis). Session Prep Bundles spin out linked entities with threaded narratives ready for tonight's session.
The World Codex stores every NPC, faction, settlement, region, and dungeon generated, letting users group them into campaigns and arcs while linking factions to regions with one click. The Remember feature provides live in-session recording, narrative recaps, and pinned moments with Discord recording, transcription, speaker labels for reassignment, and live captions for d/Deaf players.
CharGen is designed for Dungeon Masters, tabletop RPG players, indie game developers, and fantasy artists who need rapid character concepting and worldbuilding without AI knowledge, art skills, or prompting techniques. With 43,000+ creators and 830,000+ images generated as of May 2026, the platform supports 160+ AI models and 70+ art styles.
