Your books, your character· IX
Bring your own world
Three different ways to play something that is already yours, and only one of them costs money.
Last updated
Can you play your own setting with an AI Dungeon Master?
Yes, three different ways. Describe a world in a few sentences for free and the Dungeon Master treats it as canon. Import a campaign document on a paid plan and it becomes a private, playable world. Or upload a character sheet you already have, which is free on any plan.
These get conflated constantly, so here they are separately.
Free on every account
- Describe a world in up to four thousand characters
- Play it straight away, with no upload and no wait
- Upload a character sheet, including a photograph of a paper one
Adventurer and Legend
- Import a campaign book as a private, playable world
- One import a month on Adventurer, three on Legend
- PDF, Word, plain text, Markdown, HTML, images, or a zip of them
1. Describe a world in a sentence. Free, instant.
Write what you want, up to about four thousand characters of it, and the Dungeon Master treats your description as canon. A cyberpunk sprawl. Ancient Egypt. A fairytale forest with something badly wrong in it. The rules underneath stay D&D 5e; only the fiction changes.
No upload, no wait, no plan required. It is on every account including Free, and it is startlingly underused.
2. Import a campaign book. Paid, takes minutes.
Upload a campaign you bought, downloaded or wrote, and it is read and turned into a private, playable world with its places, its people, its factions and its quests. Then you pick a hero and walk into it.
| Formats | PDF, Word, plain text, Markdown, HTML, images, or a zip of them |
| Size | Up to 150 MB per file, 20 files at once |
| Scanned pages | Read with OCR when there is no text layer |
| How long | Up to about fifteen minutes for a large book |
| Plans | One a month on Adventurer, three on Legend |
It reads the whole document rather than the first few pages, which is why the names come out right rather than approximately right. An imported world is private to you, and can be played solo or opened as a table for your friends.
3. Import a character sheet. Free, any plan.
Photograph the sheet from your last table, even a handwritten one, and it is read, rebuilt rule-correctly, and shown to you for review field by field before anything is committed. PDF, image, Word and text all work.

What an imported world cannot do
It cannot be a Living World. A Living World is a shared world that several people play in, and a world you imported is yours alone, so there is nothing to share.
