EXAMPLE:The following story was generated by the app. No tweaks were made. You can make your story, bigger or smaller for your own tastes, and tweak any and all elements as it suits your world, and the story you want to tell.
There is a temple, where worshipers flock to pray to several gods within a pantheon, though the temple was not originally built for those gods. It was in fact dedicated to the god of trickery, and has been known to dole out rather accurate prophesies. The temple is guarded by a team of sellswords. The circular structure, though simple has a set of fortifications, well used by the mercenary company. At the front of the temple are two immense steel doors, concealing unfinished hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings.
An young, but outspoken zealot of a priest, by the name of Domitaxar can be found pacing the halls of the temple, often preaching to those who will listen about various sacred texts of which he has intimate knowledge. His sermons are often laced with hints at the need for donation to keep the temple in order, and to pay the mercenary guard, which ensures that his temple is one of the safest places in the region. He can often be found wearing a suit of chainmail emblazoned with the symbol of his god, and wielding a staff with a crook. When he is not preaching, he can be found drinking a cup of green tea, or praying for the miraculous recovery of an old friend.
The mercenary company that guards this temple wear exotic scarlet robes over their armor featuring the symbol of a flame stitched on to them, and battleaxes strapped to their backs. The commander, though effective at what he does, is a foreigner, and his men are cautious around him, never quite certain how he may respond to any given situation. Those who have heard of this company are surprised at their effectiveness given their unassociated specialization in siege-breaking. But the mercenaries' reputation precedes them as commonly using dirty tactics in a fight, and leaving the dead to be eaten by wild beasts.
Though donations to the temple help pay for some of the care of the mercenaries, their real backer is one of the great noble house in the region, which is of little surprise, as the house is well respected by all houses. The house flies a green banner with the symbol of a pine tree, and their motto champions the ideals of honor. Tahicel, one of the most well known members of the house, is a brilliant scholar. and an aging man. He has used the region's fertile river valley to amass the wealth for his house. Little does he know that member of his house are plotting to over thrown King!
Before Tahicel dies, he hopes to finish negotiating a trade contract...

Creative, customizable, it's a DMs best friend for sure.
Everything I was looking for to keep my world's details flowing and organized. I found myself wishing for a "pantheon" section to keep my gods straight and organized though.
It crashes too much. This app is great, but with all the crashes I've had remake several things because I couldn't save before it crashed.
I find this app to be useful in ideas and organization, and it works pretty alright on my phone, though I wish I could also use this on a computer because of the way sections are nested, it would be easier for me to see what I need to finish that way.
I use this app not only for RPGs but for other games too.
Not very user friendly
Samsung galaxy S8: Crashes on every 3rd set of submenus.
Glitch on samsung: crashes on everything. Please fix.
Samsung. Crashes on every sun menu..
This app is great! Works great, loads great, no ads, doesn't beg for money, no micro transactions for additional content, everything about this app is great. Hands down my favorite DM/GM app out there. Makes filling in the fine details off almost any story INSAINLY easy. Only thing that would make this app perfect would be adding character stats. I highly recommend this app for anyone that DM/GMs or is remotely interested in starting.
I love this app and it's usefulness for creating stories. I would give it 5 stars and probably make a donation, however; it freezes/crashes frequently, causing me to need to reenter (sometimes large amounts of) information. Also, when I save, it has a habit of changing some of the information, so I have to go back and correct it. Luckily, I'm in the habit of taking screenshots frequently, so I haven't lost any of my information. Please fix. Thanks for the otherwise awesome app. Oh... one other suggestion (unless I've just overlooked it somehow), it would be great if we could upload images next to the details (e.g. adding a picture of a character to an npc's details).
Really like it but really broken. Crashes on share, doesnt link automatically so supposedly saved (via button) generated (via link) do not appear again when reopened. Does not save a thing then so check before hitting multiple! Long link chain (wonderfully wiki like) simply becomes as unopenable file. On initial save, does not manifest generators or sometimes the + button at all. Editing neither autosaves to same file nor remembers file name. As of current, better as a gm prompt than anything. Shows much promise for all it's "error, sent to developer for review" messages. Can surprise you with its depth and make you think. Needs to be more aware of itself though. For some reason, cannot share/copy results from other generators other than main eg name, treasure and maybe roll. (That is, if share works).
This app is awesome. I've used it in a few games already and it has created some hilarious situations.
I love the app, very useful for my DMing, but I would love to have a feature that allows you to create classes and races, also a way to keep long campaign notes and features for making a campaign.
This App has proved become one of my firm fravorites, when creating new concept ideas. Certainly a must for new DMs and old ones like me. With 36yrs behind a screen. Easy to use and consent updates. Great work guys.
Useless I can world build and create endless stories but if it won't save or link things together like it says and save it then it's useless fix the saving or this app is trash
This app is amazingly formatted, and executed. I would easily pay $5 for this app, but there is a very big bug where and npc information or linked plot events don't save when I save my campaign.
The information doesn't save. I constantly save and new information doesn't save I don't want to redo things 5 times and still have to enter again
It is NOT a DM screen. It is an app that aids in possible things you run into in a town etc... NOT A DM SCREEN.
I find this app very helpful, I believe it would be exponentially better (and the only app I need) if there was a random monster generator that included stats, not just descriptions.
making stories on the fly has never been this easy. thanks devs
It's very useful, easy, and fun to use! There are quite a few misspellings, but other than that please add more stuff! It's great!
The tables are great, the amount of customization is great, it just has trouble saving things.
Data corruption happens too frequently to use the app to save stories, but it's the best app for generating ideas.
Very useful and easy to use. That's all you can ask for.
Easy encounter app works well for quick encounter or a campaign all around great app
Best rpg generator in the play store and its add free cant go wrong
it's nice in theory but it needs lots of work. for instance when building a story is hard to keep everything layered, it also crashes to much. this app has the potential to be great, but it's just not there yet.
