Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a character and an NPC?
Player characters are the heroes your table controls; NPCs are everyone else in the world. World Canon can generate both and saves each as a reusable entry.
Can I generate backstories and images?
Yes. Characters come with a backstory, personality and traits, and you can generate portrait artwork for them in a chosen art style.
How do characters connect to my campaigns?
Characters are saved to a world and can be linked to other entries, such as factions or locations, and used in campaigns and scenes set in that world.
Can I reuse a character later?
Yes. Saved characters stay in your library, so you can return to them, edit them and bring them back into new scenes without starting over.
