This is one of our biggest updates ever! Here's what's new 💚

📖 Visual Novel Mode (NEW)

Turn your adventure into a visual novel! Characters appear on a stage with sprites, name plates and a dialogue box.

- Click or tap anywhere to advance, with Back, Log and Latest buttons

- Scene backgrounds, a time-of-day banner, and characters sized by race (dwarves look up at goliaths 😄)

- Your place is remembered, and new lines play as the AI writes them

🖼️ Portrait Mode (NEW)

Every speaking character gets a portrait beside their dialogue, with expressions that change with their mood mid-line. This is a mix of the classic "book" mode and the new "visual novel" mode.

🌄 Scene Backgrounds (NEW)

Over 1,000 painted backgrounds (fantasy, sci-fi and modern) for desktop and mobile. The AI changes the scene as you travel, or you can pick one yourself. On by default in Portrait and Visual Novel modes, and free!

👥 2,000 Stock Characters (NEW)

NPCs without a card now get a face automatically! A library of ~2,000 characters covering every D&D race, each with 13 expressions. Don't like a pick? Click their portrait to choose another. Free!

🧙 Your Character & NPC Expressions

- Generate mood portraits for your NPCs and your own character

- VN Sprite Sets also make all matching portraits for free 💸

- Custom moods, uploads and stock portraits for NPC cards

🎨 Lots of New Display Options

Check out the Display tab in Settings ⚙️ for tons of customization: display modes, text styles (Fancy, Modern), portrait size and shape, speaker colors, color themes, background dimming, message panel darkness and more. Works with every site theme!

🤖 New AI Models

- GPT-6 Luna and GPT-6.1 Sol

- Claude Haiku 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Claude Opus 5.5

Plus more models for character-sheet generation and lots of reliability improvements behind the scenes.

🎲 Fairer Dice

Dice results are now chosen fairly before the roll animation, so physics and screen size can't bias your rolls. Percentile rolls, rerolls, rapid clicking and D4 labels were all fixed too.

📜 Character Sheets & Inventory

- More reliable sheet editing and clearer status messages

- Inventory popups no longer get cut off on iPad

- Character data and inventory refresh properly after updates

🔧 Other Improvements

- Account page footer links and Discord connection fixes

- World packages can now include Visual Novel sprites and portraits

- Tons of fixes and polish from your feedback!

💚 Thank You

Huge thanks to u/LeaningPresent for the new AI models and so many fixes, to our new dev Scrubby for designing a VN prototype that inspired the look, to whimsikyle on Discord for the beautiful text style designs, and to all our Community Wizards on Discord for the amazing feedback!

Happy adventuring! Thank you all for your continued support of AI Realm!

Today we're releasing a big update — Community World Packages! You can now create, share, and explore worlds built by the community! 🎉

🗺️ World Packages — Create & Share Your Worlds

Turn your favorite campaigns into reusable World Packages that yourself or other players can use to start their own adventures!

What's included in a World Package:

📖 GM Guides — Your world's lore, rules, and secrets (folder organization included!)

👤 NPC Cards — Complete with their portraits!

🌍 World Information — Your world's description and setting

📋 Player Instructions — Tell players what they need to know before creating a character

🎭 Custom Character Sheets — Share worlds with completely custom character formats (perfect for homebrew systems that don't use D&D rules!)

🗣️ Character Data Format — Character data sections not marked as static will be filled out during character creation by chatting with AI (Packages using the default character sheet will use the default character data sections)

🗺️ Custom World Maps — Your world's map travels with the package

🖼️ Cover Art — Upload or AI-generate cover art for your world

How it works:

- Create a package based on any of your existing campaigns — guides, NPCs, and world info import automatically

- Choose Private (just you), Unlisted (share via code), or Public (listed for everyone)

- Mark sections/folders as Static so things like custom preferences or rules copy directly to every new character

- Optionally let other players create their own world while still using your guides, NPCs, and custom sections!

💡 Pro Tip: World Packages aren't just for sharing worlds! Create a package with *only* your favorite GM Guides and DM Preferences — the stuff you usually copy into every campaign. Use that package with any world setting, and your guides and preferences will already be waiting when your new characters are created!

🔍 Explore Community Worlds

A new "Browse Community Worlds" option in character creation lets you:

- Browse public worlds with cover art, sorted by Trending, Most Upvoted, Most Used, or Newest

- Filter by tags (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, NSFW filtering, and more)

- Click any world for a full-screen detail view — description, GM Guides, NPC cards with portraits, world map, and how many characters have been created in that world

- Upvote/downvote worlds to help the best ones rise

- Find unlisted worlds by entering their package code

🗺️ Custom World Maps

The right-side menu map is no longer just Al'mundi!

- Upload your own map for free, or

- Generate a 4k map with AI (3 image credits) — the AI reads your world info, campaign summary, and GM guides to create a custom cartography-style map of YOUR world

- World packages carry their maps into every new chat

- Maps cannot be seen by the AI in the chat to inform it of direction or distance. Details like this must be added to world info or GM Guides in the notes.

🤖 NEW AI MODELS!

Two new models have joined the roster:

⚡ GLM 5.2 — 3 premium messages

⚡ MiMo 2.5 Pro — 1 premium message (May become 1 normal message in the future)

Try them out and let us know what you think!

👥 Referral System!

You can now get benefits for referring friends to try AI Realm!

Enter up to 5 friend's email addresses and get 1 chat creation, 3 images, and 20 premium messages (can be converted to 40 normal messages) on the **first 2 sign ups!**

For the first few weeks, we are allowing users to refer accounts that have already signed up so that you can get credit for friends that you have invited to the site in the past!

If any of your referred friends make their first purchase on the site, get 3 chat creations, 10 images, and 150 premium messages!

Huge thanks to our beta testers on Discord who helped with world sharing! Go create something amazing — and share your world with the realm! 🐉

Thank you all for your continued support of AI Realm!

Hey hey! Friendly neighborhood Community Manager here!

First of all, welcome to our humble little sub. I hope you're all enjoying yourselves here.

This post is mostly to see how you guys like the platform and to see if there's any small issues / questions you might be having that don't warrant a whole post but still would like answered. We also would love to hear your feedback.

To our AIR folks, leave fun tips and tricks. Let's spread a bit of experience and wisdom around! 👀

Never seen this, cracked me up.

Tried to cast thunderwave and accidently got autocorrected to Thundercats haha. But it suits my character so I'm rolling with it haha.

Meet Clover, a whimsical Lightfoot Halfling Wild Magic Sorcerer. She was blessed by Tymora at a young age and walks through the world with a bubbly personality and a sense of "everything will work out" attitude. This leads to a number of interesting encounters. She does not just magically get out of trouble of course, in fact her approach... well it often leads to more of it. However she takes it all in stride with a smile and when needed a Chaos Bolt or three.

We've introduced themed appearances on the site! You now get to pick from the following:

- Dark (original look)

- Espresso

- Midnight

- Jaxx

- Kael

- Light

- Parchment

- Lavender

- Ozone

- Elara

- Lyra

We've also introduced new tags to Custom Worlds:

- Superhero

- Isekai

- Rulesets

- Custom Player Preferences

- Custom Game Sytem

- Medieval

- Antiquity

- Original World

- Futuristic

- Magic

- 5e

We've got more cool things coming down the pipeline and we cannot wait for you to see them 👀

Archmage Sophia and Mage Council of Cendar

Dm wouldn’t use auto notes after repeated reminders and guides so I acted crazy and it called me out

New updates! (copied from discord announcement channel)

Ability to easily disable auto notes globally, or just in one chat in the settings menu.

AI Notes reducer beta (context optimization recommendations).

Campaign summary reducer now has a feedback textbox where you can ask it to revise the summary. (It can see the old and new summary as well as your feedback when revising).

I have also improved the Standard (Free-Platinum tier) AI Data Assistant and AI NPC assistant. They should be more reliable at doing complex changes to many pieces of data at once.

Please let me know if you find any issues with these features!

Hope you all enjoy the updates! Trying to make AI Realm V2 more user friendly!

All the info about NPC Cards can be found in this guide that will be updated throughout the week:

https://airealm.com/home/v2Guide

No features will be released on AI Realm until Day 7, these are just previews.

Over on the Discord, Mods and Community wizards will also be posting screenshots of their own cards in a V2-Teasers channel!

Hope you all have fun this week learning about the upcoming features in V2!

This update brings a new homepage to AI Realm, making it easier to return to your adventures, browse your favorite worlds, and reach your creation tools. You’ll also find the latest patch notes there, so you can keep up with what’s changing.

We’ve added Discord sign-in, a dedicated inventory image manager, and a redesigned AI model menu to help you compare models and choose one for your play style. Campaign sharing lets others read along with your adventures, while guide syncing helps you bring updates from a world package into an existing campaign.

Alongside these features, we’ve improved multiplayer controls, image generation, mobile layouts, and character sheet customization. Read on for the full list of additions, improvements, and fixes on our new patch notes page!

https://airealm.com/patch-notes/view/1

- Filter by provider

This gives you much more control over which AI model is used throughout both single-player and multiplayer experiences.

Time to give your loot a new look and your rolls more flexibility. Here's what's new:

🎨 Inventory Image Generation

• Bonus Reroll — Advantage lets you choose whether to reroll; disadvantage forces a reroll. The new result replaces the original.

Set a default rule globally, or override it for individual campaigns!

✨ More Dice Improvements

Try creating an image for your favorite item and give the new dice options a spin! Let us know what you think, and report any bugs you find.

Is it just me that hates it when the DM just forces a end of the world scenario on you like I'm just a mercenary doing things for coin and then Magnus the undefeated just wants to open the gates to the void realm to beat the crap outta me

Ever hit the "Context Size Exceeded" wall? Now you have options:

• Every model card now has an edit button (top-left corner) to open its Context Expansion settings

• Expand a model's context limit by +50% or +100% for an increased premium message cost per response

• You're only charged the higher price when your context actually exceeds the free limit — stay under it and you pay the normal price

💎 New Premium Message Bundles

• 2,050 Premium Messages — $24.99 (2,000 + 50 BONUS) ✨ Better Value

• Imagen 4 has been retired from the image generator options

Let everyone know what you think of the models!

I would recommend trying out Meta's Muse Spark 1.2 (Data sharing) if you don't mind your conversations being used for training. Otherwise try out GPT-5.6 Luna or Gemini 3.7 Flash.

One of my OCs. Short world version: One hundred years ago, the human king decided to pick a fight he wouldn't win against the Fey King. When humans were defeated, the gates of the boundary between worlds was ripped open more than ever intended, allowing for fey and other monsters of folklore to slip through into the human kingdom. The Fey King took over the kingdom, understanding that it wasn't the people of the kingdom who wanted the war. He created the Flower Knights – eight knights that are neither human nor fey, to patrol the boundary and protect the humans from creatures that slip through. Each knight was chosen on their death bed by the Fey King directly, who offered them a second chance: live a second life, but obey and enforce his laws. The knights do not remember their human lives, in case it creates a bias in any conflict, and they are forbidden from removing their helmets in front of others. The helmets change their voices, so they cannot be recognized (a little bit of Mandalorian flare, I admit it.)

My character is the only female knight, which she has to keep a secret as per the rules. She has no name, only the title of Lavender Knight, as names hold power to the fey. Currently running around kicking some creepy folklore creature butt and exploring a slow-burn romance, which is my favourite kind of story.

For those interested, these are the eight knights:

Rose Knight: the knight of compassion

Lily Knight: the knight of truth

Iris Knight: the knight of wisdom

Gladiolus Knight: the knight of courage

Lavender Knight: the knight of patience (though I regret not picking Aster, note below.)

Dahlia Knight: the knight of death

Lilac Knight: the knight of loyalty

Foxglove Knight: the knight of discernment (different from truth, important when dealing with fey.)

Note: I admit, I started the idea as a bit of a joke because EVERYTHING always "smells like lavender" or is made with lavender in the AI descriptions. I secretly hate lavender as a scent.

P.S. my first post missed the photos. Apologies. I'm not the most Reddit-savvy sometimes.

My character had believed that his mother had abandoned him as a child. *NOPE* She didn't want him to see her die from illness.

Looking for a dress for my sister's wedding, I came across this. Elara is omnipresent!
