Build Log — Chronicled

v1.0.008/20/2026

Subscriptions, Credits & Entry Packs

Every new account starts with a free trial — 10 generations, no card required.
A $5/month subscription gets you 25 generations every billing cycle, plus unlimited entries in your world.
Need a top-up instead? $2 buys 5 more generations, one-time, no recurring charge — credits roll over and never expire.
Every world also gets 30 free entries (any NPC, monster, item, faction, or other piece of content, generated or handwritten in Manual Mode) — beyond that, $5 buys a pack of 25 more.
Manage or cancel your subscription anytime from Settings, through Stripe's self-serve billing portal.
A round of reliability fixes across generation, entry cross-linking, and field-assist performance.

v0.9508/14/2026

Chronicled now runs a second full ruleset alongside the original system — pick D&D 5e when you set up a new world, and every category understands it: Bestiary uses real Challenge Rating math, Classes follow the real 1–20 leveling and spell-slot tables, and Items use real SRD weapon/armor/rarity data.
Player Characters are full 5e characters now — skill and saving throw proficiencies, passive Perception, initiative, and real multiclassing across up to two classes, all computed for you.
Real, properly-licensed SRD content baked right in: 349 spells, 201 monsters, a full equipment list, 17 feats, and 260 magic items. Import any of it for free with zero AI cost, or Reflavor it with AI while keeping the real mechanics untouched.
Backgrounds and Species are now real, ingested SRD content too — including the correct 2024 rule where your Background grants one specific named Origin Feat at character creation.
New: a 5e-only Encounter Difficulty / XP Budget calculator on the Quest builder — sanity-check a fight against your actual party before you run it.
Also new: a fully Generic ruleset for worlds that don't want a fixed system at all — narrative-first Classes, Items, and NPCs with no invented leveling or rarity numbers.
Roll Randomly and full Manual Entry now work correctly on both new rulesets, not just the original system.
A round of bug fixes and reliability work across generation, billing, and portrait art.

v0.9[08/10/2026]

Build any entry by hand, start to finish — no AI required. Same editing forms as before, just starting from a blank entry instead of a generated one.
New "Roll Randomly" option on every category — an instant, free entry pulled together from weighted tables instead of a live AI call. It reads your world's genre and reskins itself accordingly, so a fantasy world rolls enchanted blades and cursed ruins while a post-apocalyptic world rolls scrap-fused scavenger gear, not a one-size-fits-all mashup.
The "+ Create Entry" button is now one clean menu — Generate with AI, Enter Manually, or Roll Randomly — instead of three separate buttons competing for space.
New "Help me" button on individual fields — get a suggestion for just the one thing you're stuck on, instead of regenerating a whole entry.
New account-level "AI Features" switch in Settings — turn AI off entirely and Manual Entry + Roll Randomly keep working with zero risk of an accidental AI call.
World setup is now fully optional on AI, top to bottom — every step already let you type your own answers, and the two spots that used to generate things automatically (world art, and expanding factions into full lore) now ask first.
Fixed leftover placeholder text showing up on pages where you'd left an optional field blank.

v0.8[08/03/2026]

Build Quests out of your NPCs, Locations, Enemies, Items, and Logs — put one together by hand, or let Chronicled propose one from what you've already created.
String multiple Quests together into a Campaign — a full story arc, planned and sequenced for you.
Generate a battle map for any Location, grid included — right-click to save it and use it at the table or in your favorite VTT.
Export a Quest or Campaign as a print-ready PDF, with every NPC, Location, and stat block it references bundled right in.
Enemies can now be part of a Quest, so your encounters actually include what you're fighting.
Signature lines and quotes across NPCs, factions, classes, and enemies should feel less like AI filler and more like something a character would actually say.
Assorted reliability improvements and bug fixes.

v0.7[07/30/2026]

A new content category: generate Locations for your world, complete with a controlling faction, notable features, and any NPCs tied to that place.
Every world now gets a real generated map, automatically laid out from your locations — not just a flavor image.

v0.6[07/28/2026]

v0.5[07/27/2026]

Each world now gets its own visual identity — pick a palette and style during setup, and every page, including each faction's accent color, reflects it.
Portrait art generation now matches your world's chosen style automatically, instead of one fixed look for everyone.
Give your world its own name and tagline — the whole site now reflects it, not just the content inside it.
Rename the six core stats and weapon skills to fit your world's own vocabulary — the numbers underneath stay balanced, only the labels change.
Added a permanent World Info page — a living reference sheet for your world's identity, lore, and stats, always up to date.

v0.4[07/25/2026]

NPCs, enemies, items, classes, logs, survivors, and factions are now all generated grounded in your world's lore and factions — not a fixed template.
Fixed a bug affecting portrait generation for some content types.

v0.3[07/23/2026]

Archive pages now stay in sync with what you've actually generated, instead of needing a manual refresh step.
Factions created during setup now show up immediately in your live archive.

v0.2[07/22/2026]

New worlds now start with a step-by-step setup wizard — lore, factions, stats, style, and category preferences, with a "generate for me" option on nearly every field.
Import an existing world bible/lore document, or generate one from scratch.
Progress now saves automatically as you go through setup, so closing the tab won't lose your work.
