Frequently asked questions

ReadyScene FAQ

ReadyScene is built to be a practical prep utility, not a campaign database or account-based platform. These answers explain what the generator does, how saved scenes work, and how to keep useful results.

What does ReadyScene generate?

ReadyScene generates system-neutral social scenes for tabletop RPG prep, solo play, and fiction drafting. A result can include a venue, keeper, patrons, rumors, a hidden problem, sensory details, table-use notes, and a scene hook.

Do saved scenes stay after I close the browser?

Usually, yes, on the same device and browser. The Scene Library uses your browser's localStorage, so saved scenes can remain after closing the tab or browser.

Local saves are not a cloud backup. They can be removed if you clear browser data, use private browsing, change browsers, change devices, reset site data, or run a cleanup tool. Copy, download, print, or move important scenes into your own notes if you want a durable archive.

Does ReadyScene require an account?

No. The generator does not require a login, account, password, payment profile, or cloud campaign workspace. The current site is meant to stay fast and low-friction at the table.

Does ReadyScene use live AI when I press Generate?

No. The current generator uses curated content tables and browser-side randomization. It does not send your scene choices to a live AI model for generation.

Can I use the output in my campaign or fiction notes?

Yes. You can edit, rewrite, combine, copy, save, print, and adapt generated material for personal tabletop sessions, solo play, drafts, and notes.

Treat generated text as rough creative material. Review and revise it before using it in a public post, streamed game, paid product, published adventure, or shared document.

Is ReadyScene tied to one rules system?

No. ReadyScene is intentionally system-neutral. It avoids stat blocks, challenge ratings, named mechanics, and setting-owned terminology so a scene can be adapted to fantasy campaigns, space ports, mysteries, cyberpunk jobs, or fiction drafts.

How should I use locks and rerolls?

Use locks when part of a scene works and the rest needs another pass. For example, lock the venue and keeper, then reroll patrons and rumors until the pressure at the table feels right.

What is the best way to keep a scene?

For quick use, save it to the local Scene Library. For long-term use, copy it into your notes, download an export, or print the prep sheet. Local browser storage is convenient, but your own notes are the safer archive.

Why are there advertisement placeholders?

ReadyScene is preparing for possible future ad support so the generator can remain free. The current site does not include live ad scripts. Any future ads should stay out of the way of the main generator controls and scene output.
