📖 One-shot Studio

One-shot Studio is the AI adventure generator: from an idea in a few lines it builds you a playable adventure, with scenes, NPCs and the read-aloud text to give your players. It's a guided tool that proceeds block by block, so you can check and fix each piece instead of getting a wall of text. Being an AI feature, it consumes credits (unlike the tabletop tools, which are free).

What it generates

A One-shot Studio adventure contains the building blocks you need to bring it to the table:

• Scenes: the situations the adventure unfolds through, in order.
• Read-aloud text: descriptive passages ready to read to the players when they enter a scene.
• NPCs: the characters and creatures of the adventure, with their sheet.

You work in the setting you choose among those available (Vulcania, Eberron, Forgotten Realms, Generic), so tone and references stay consistent with the game world.

How to use it

1. Open One-shot Studio from the tools hub.
2. Write a short brief: the starting idea, the tone, what you want to happen.
3. Let the Studio proceed in blocks (pitches, framework, outline, scenes). At each step you can edit the result by hand before moving on: what you fix stays.
4. Review the generated scenes and NPCs. NPC sheets anchor their numbers to valid sources (the bestiary for creatures, the sheet engine for characters), not invented ones.
5. When you're happy, export the adventure or link it to a campaign to reuse it at the table.

Generation can take a little while: it runs asynchronously, so you don't have to keep the page frozen while you wait.

Link with campaigns

One-shot Studio adventures don't stay isolated: they link to campaigns in a many-to-many relationship. The same adventure can join several campaigns, and a campaign can gather several of them. Once attached, its NPCs appear in the campaign's NPC tab and are available in the Campaign block on the Banco, ready to send to the Tracker or the Table.

Credits

One-shot Studio is an AI feature, so every generation draws on your credit wallet. The tabletop tools and maps stay free; here you pay because the AI is writing the adventure. Keep your weekly periodic credits in mind when you plan a writing session.
