Summon Art & the Forge
Make art from a description, pick a model, and roll NPCs, encounters and tables on the Forge.
Summon makes an image from a description. You need to be signed in to make one.
Make an image
- Press Summon art above the sidebar, or open the Summon page.
- Describe what you want: a character, a scene, an item or a map.
- Pick a model, and how many variations you want, up to 4.
- If you would rather pick than write, open Guided controls.
- Press Cast.
Models
| Model | Cost per image | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Igarus | Free | Our tuned default · powered by FLUX |
| FLUX.2 pro | 1 credit | Fast, crisp, great detail |
| Grok Imagine | 1 credit | xAI · photoreal & cinematic |
| Nano Banana 2 | 2 credits | Google · natural & consistent |
| GPT Image 1.5 | 4 credits | High quality · great value |
Igarus is free. On the Free plan it has a daily allowance; on Hero it has no daily limit. The exact allowance is on the Plans page.
Nano Banana 2 can also take a reference image, so you can steer it toward a look you already have.
Not sure which to pick? Which model should I use? compares them. Premium models spend credits unless you have connected your own key for that provider. See Credits, Plans & Your Own Keys.
The Forge
The Forge is under Create in the sidebar. It has 13 generators. A generated result can be copied as markdown, or shared as a link that rebuilds the same roll. When you are signed in you can also save it.
The NPC, Trap, Puzzle, Dungeon Room, Villain, Patron, Religion, Culture and Legendary Creature tiles also have a shelf of ready-made entries. When that shelf has something on it, the tile leads with Browse and the number ready, which opens the shelf in the Compendium or the NPC Codex, and keeps Generate beside it. Every other tile offers Generate.
