Feature

Media Center — Combine Your Clips Into Multi-Scene Videos

Introducing the Media Center — a full-screen video editor where you can arrange your AI-generated video clips, music, and voiceover into polished multi-scene compositions. Browse your gallery to pick clips, or generate new videos, audio, and images directly inside the editor. Drag clips on the timeline to reorder them, trim start points, adjust volume per clip, and layer background music or voiceover narration. Preview your composition in real time, then export as a single MP4 that's automatically saved to your gallery. Audio clips display real waveforms so you can align them by ear, and keyboard shortcuts (Space, Delete, Ctrl+Z) keep your workflow fast. A quick onboarding guide walks you through the basics the first time you visit. Look for Media Center under Features in the nav bar.

Building Generator — Create Temples, Libraries, Prisons & More

A brand new generator for creating any type of building in your RPG campaign. Choose from 13 building types — temples, libraries, guild halls, bathhouses, prisons, theaters, hospitals, manors, warehouses, observatories, marketplaces, and forges — or describe your own. Each building comes with a unique name, history, architecture, NPCs, secrets, plot hooks, and dynamic sections tailored to its type. A temple gets divine services and sacred relics. A prison gets security protocols and notable inmates. Buildings are fully game-system aware (D&D 5E, Pathfinder, Cyberpunk, and more), can be exported to PDF, shared with friends, and linked to your existing NPCs, settlements, and factions. Generate & Link NPCs directly from the building page to flesh out your world. Also in this update: share links now always include referral codes correctly, and Monster, Tavern, Loot, and Hazard detail pages have been redesigned with wider, more immersive layouts.
