ePic Character Generator — Create Unique RPG Characters Fast
ePic Character Generator (by Overhead Games) is a character-creation tool for RPG players, GMs, and indie developers that produces pre-rendered character art (portraits, tokens, cards) you can export as PNG or layered PSD. Key points:
-
What it does
- Build realistic or hand-drawn–style character images by selecting preset body types, clothing, gear, hairstyles, poses, and backgrounds.
- Export images with or without background, transparent tokens, and PSD for further editing.
-
Platforms & distribution
- Available on Windows (Steam), Android (Google Play), and iOS (App Store). Uses a server-hosted content model and supports account linking.
-
Content model & pricing
- Free base download with multiple free starter packs; many additional themed packs (fantasy, modern, supernatural, portraits) sold as DLC/in‑app purchases. A Pro unlock removes logos and adds features (prices vary by platform).
-
Main features
- Large, growing library of parts and packs.
- Save/load custom characters in the app’s format.
- Export options including transparent backgrounds and PSD for editing.
- Commercial-use license for generated images (per developer statements).
-
Pros
- Fast, easy to use—good for quickly producing player/NPC art and tokens.
- Frequent updates and active developer support historically.
- Export formats suitable for tabletop and small commercial projects.
-
Cons / reported issues
- Some users report crashes, purchase/restore problems, or platform-specific bugs.
- Customization depth is limited compared with full 3D modelers (fixed body shapes, layered limits).
- Mixed reviews on mobile storefronts; Steam user base is generally positive.
-
Best uses
- Quick avatar/token generation for virtual tabletops, NPC portraits, card/board game art, spot illustrations in indie projects.
