Frequently asked questions.

Yes. All three run in your browser with no account, no sign-up and no limit on how many results you pull. Nothing you generate is sent anywhere.

All of them, and none in particular. The tables describe people, places and situations rather than statistics, so nothing needs converting. Drop a result into whichever game is already on your table and assign numbers the way you normally would.

Please do. That is exactly what it is for. Take a result, change half of it, forget where it came from. No credit required.

Sharing a result with your table, your group chat or your play-by-post thread is fine and always will be. Republishing the tables themselves, or packaging generated output as a product of your own, is not covered yet.

Not yet, and we would rather say so plainly than leave it vague. A proper licence covering commercial reuse is being prepared. Until it is published here, treat generated results as free for home-game use. If you have a specific project in mind, write to us and we will tell you where the licence has got to.

No. EncounterSmith is independent, with no affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement from Wizards of the Coast or any other publisher. Every table is written from scratch, and nothing draws on another publisher’s settings, characters or trademarks.

There is no date. Smith+ is a planned subscription with deeper tables, saved results and printable exports, and none of it is built yet. The founding list is how you hear when there is something real to look at. Joining costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

There are no accounts at all at the moment, so nothing carries between visits. Lock the fields you want to keep, copy the result as text or Markdown, and paste it into your own notes. Saved results are on the list for Smith+.

Locking a field pins its value. Generate again and every unlocked field is redrawn while the locked ones stay exactly as they are. It is the quickest way to keep a name you like and shake the rest of the character loose.

Yes. Everything is built to be usable one-handed on a phone, and the results print cleanly if you would rather have paper in front of you.

No. There is no analytics script, no advertising network and no third-party tracking on this site. The generators run entirely in your browser and results never leave your device.

Very much so. Send it through the contact address in the footer. Original writing only, please: anything lifted out of a published book cannot go in.
