Question 5

What is included in the free plan?

Accepted Answer

Every algorithmic generator is completely free - 50+ generators for characters (elf, human, dwarf, orc, and more), locations (cities, kingdoms, dungeons, forests), and organizations (guilds, orders, crews). You also get Starter Packs, 3 collections with up to 10 items each, and clipboard export. No account required to generate.

Question 6

What does Lite add over Free?

Accepted Answer

Lite removes ads, raises the per-run limit to 100 names, gives you unlimited collections with up to 100 items each, and lets you export to TXT, PDF, Markdown, and JSON. It is $1.99/month.

Question 7

What does Premium unlock?

Accepted Answer

Premium includes everything in Lite, plus: the AI Generator with 100 monthly credits, WorldBuilder, bulk generation up to 500 names at once, AI categories for weapons, items, plot hooks, and NPCs, priority support, and early access to new generators.

Question 8

How do AI credits work?

Accepted Answer

Premium subscribers get 100 credits per month, refreshed each billing cycle. Text generations use credits based on complexity. Monthly credits are used first; purchased top-up credits are used after. Top-up credits stay on your account but require an active Premium subscription to use. Monthly credits do not carry over.

Question 9

Can I buy extra credits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Premium subscribers can purchase top-up credit packs of 25, 50, or 100 credits at any time. Top-up credits are used after your monthly credits and stay on your account even across billing cycles. If your subscription lapses, purchased credits are preserved and become available when you resubscribe.

Question 10

What are Collections?

Accepted Answer

Collections let you organise and save your generated results. Create themed groups, add names or structured results, and come back later to review, copy, or export. Free users get 3 collections with 10 items each; Lite and Premium users get unlimited collections with 100 items each.

Question 11

What are Starter Packs?

Accepted Answer

Starter Packs are guided one-click generators that produce an entire concept at once - a full kingdom with a capital, ruling house, factions, and landmarks, or a complete tavern with an innkeeper, patrons, and a house bard. You can pin sections you like and reroll the rest.

Question 12

What is the AI Generator?

Accepted Answer

The AI Generator uses GPT-4o-mini to produce richly detailed, context-aware results - NPCs with backstories, weapons with lore, plot hooks, session starters, and more. You can optionally link it to your WorldBuilder world so results reflect your established lore. Premium subscribers get 100 AI credits per month.

Question 13

What is WorldBuilder?

Accepted Answer

WorldBuilder is a premium knowledge graph for organising your campaign or novel setting. Create a world, add entries for characters, locations, factions, and items, link them with relationships, and let AI help you fill in details. You can share worlds via a public link or invite collaborators.
