YOUR ONLINE STUDIO FOR RPG MODULES
Adventure
Recast.
Create, edit and lay out
your RPG adventures.
An online studio for game masters and RPG creators. Turn notes, stories or existing adventures into illustrated modules—with game rules, characters and layout in one place. Create by hand, with AI, or both.
How it worksHow it works
A story is only
the beginning.
Turning it into a game means organising scenes, preparing characters, finding illustrations and laying out readable pages. Recast brings those jobs into one project, so you can focus on the adventure.
Bring your story.
Start with a blank page, paste an idea or story, or upload an adventure to re-edit or translate. Bring a PDF, text or Markdown file.
Define your edition.
Choose a supported game system, language and how much you want to change. AI can develop, adapt or translate your material.
Prepare your book.
Review and edit the text, characters, artwork and page design. Download your PDF, or take the module into Owlbear Rodeo for your game.

Before the

Do I have to use AI?
No. You decide whether to use AI. Love getting every detail just right? We have you covered. Write your text, build your characters and bring your own artwork. Shape your module by hand, without generative AI. Prefer AI assistance from start to finish? You can do that too. Create, adapt, translate and illustrate your adventure with AI throughout the process. The editor is always there whenever you want to step in. Or combine both. You decide how to work, page by page.
Can I sell the material I create?
Material created with AI through Adventure Recast may not be commercialized. It is intended for the personal use and enjoyment of its creator and their friends or gaming group.
For material created 100% by humans, any commercial use must comply with the licence of the game system used (BRP, D&D SRD, etc.) and with the licences of any text, illustrations or other resources included.
What source material can I use?
Your own work, public-domain material, openly licensed content or material you have permission to adapt. Publishing an edition still depends on the source and game licences that apply to it.
