This is the story of how I created my generator for DND character backstories, a labor of passion that combined my love for storytelling with the intricate world of Dungeons & Dragons.

The process was a journey filled with challenges and discoveries, where coding met creativity, and imagination was translated into algorithms.

DND Backstory Character Ideas (5e+)

As a Lifelong Gamer and DND Geek…

I come from a long line of gamers…

Before we get to the meat of this page, I’d like to point you toward the corresponding blog post I wrote covering some of the details on how I leveraged AI (specifically, GPT-2 and then GPT-3) in creating all my RPG tools. In this day and age, tabletop roleplaying is becoming inundated with AI tools and helpers – some better than others. It’s a roll of the dice most of the time.

I’ve got a lot of great free character ideas and examples you can use for to roll up a backstory (or use these at a starting point for a work of fiction!) Either way, you can browse quite a few here for free or buy one of my good RPG print books at Amazon. If you’re playing a lot of Dungeons & Dragons, they’re a great, cheap way to have a lot of great random content on hand.

Deep Dive: Read how I leveraged AI to generate DND backstories for all types of good characters.

AI RPG Generators

The LitRPG Adventures RPG Workshop generators are powered by GPT-4 and DALLE3 API from OpenAI. Yes, I got access to a supercomputer and decided to teach it D&D and how to roll dice. Yes, one of the best Large Language Model neural nets can write DND backstories and more.

What can I say? I’m an old school gamer and a LitRPG author. At LitRPG Adventures, members can create a variety of RPG content for your favorite tabletop game. (Even MERPs if you want!) The RPG tools can help you write more creatively with new knowledge about your characters and their parents.

My set of RPG tools can help you randomly roll your character’s personality. You start with my DND tool then edit by hand using your vastly superior human common sense to perfect your character’s background – which leads to a better playing experience.

Members of the LitRPG Adventures community can also browse the vast library of already generated RPG content for ideas. We’ve got 26,000+ Monsters, Human Backstories, Spells, Items, and more! Your character’s background, personality, and family can all be created easily.

Pro Tip: Your character’s family is an important part of your background.

Learn about your character’s parents, like where they grew up in the world – and how you got your skills. Also, whether you’re evil or not. And if you are evil, how did you get that way?
