What is a Theatre of the Mind background?

It is a visual aid used by Dungeon Masters to show players what an environment looks like instead of drawing a tactical map. It helps set the mood, establish the atmosphere, and improve immersion during roleplay or combat.

What kind of locations can I generate?

You can generate virtually any location: deep dwarven ruins, bustling city markets, eerie magical forests, cozy tavern interiors, or cosmic sci-fi landscapes.

How do I generate a background?

Log in with Discord, then type Draw + your description. The bot replies with your background to download.

Can I use these backgrounds in VTTs like Roll20 or Foundry?

Absolutely. You can download the images and upload them directly into your Virtual Tabletop as a landing page, an atmospheric handout, or a background for theater of the mind combat.

Do I need a Discord account?

Yes. You’ll need Discord to log in, send your request, and receive the result.

What is a DnD character portrait?

A DnD character portrait is a character artwork used for handouts, character sheets, VTT journals, and campaign visuals.

Is this only for D&D?

No. It works for all tabletop RPGs including fantasy, sci-fi, cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic settings.

How do I generate a portrait?

Log in with Discord, then type Draw + your description. RPGBOT replies with your portrait to download.

Can I make a token from my portrait?

Yes. Download your portrait, then craft a circular token with the GM Craft Tavern Token Maker.

Do I need a Discord account?

Yes. You’ll need Discord to log in, send your request, and receive the result.
