A free online platform for creating and sharing custom random text generators, from character names to story prompts.

Price: Free

Description
Perchance is a unique, free online platform that allows users to create and share their own custom random text generators. Instead of a pre-built AI, it provides a simple, accessible scripting language for users to define lists, probabilities, and rules for generating random outputs. This enables the creation of generators for virtually anything: character names, fantasy items, story prompts, dialogue snippets, or even complex lore elements. It's primarily used by writers, game masters, artists, and hobbyists who need specific random inputs for creative projects. Perchance stands out by empowering users to build their own "AI" for random generation, offering unparalleled flexibility and a vibrant community of shared generators, making it distinct from fixed-function AI tools.
