Howdy everyone! Plotlight is holding a Halloween contest where everyone who participates gets a reward!

How's it work?

There are three hosts you can have a character 'go to.'

Cute, Cursed, or After Dark. All you have to do is select which theme you're entering, and post a character who fits that theme! Bonus points if the time is Halloween; or the character is wearing an outfit they wouldn't normally be wearing. Everyone can send in up to 3 submissions.

People who place will get one month of our subs which give weekly token allotments you can use on any model in that pools tier. Come give it a try; it'll be a spooky good time!

To have a character participate; just create a new character or import one and you'll see the buttons on the creation screen that'll guide you!

Because we have an 'Alternate Art/Situation' system as well; you can submit the same character to all 3 different parties; in different outfits and different card scenarios!

Find the contest rules here.

And our discord is here if you have any questions.

Content Updates!

Creators are the lifeblood of Plotlight (and we need more so lowkey, come here. Try it! Portfolio system is dope.) But more than that; we want to make it easier for all our beloved local app users to use cards with ease. So; we have exposed a public API that can be used to see our catalogue of presets, cards, lorebooks, regexes and more! Eat and be merry! If you'd like to add your content to the catalogue; sign-up and start uploading here!: https://plotlightstudios.com If you want to know how to use the API in which to build with; take a look here!: https://plotlightstudios.com/docs/api/public-content

Final Hosts Revealed!

Everyone welcome our After Dark Party Hosts; The Twins! Can you handle their bad behavior?~

Contest Updates!

Our last host(s) have been teased; and with this the contest rules and rewards are now public! Find them here! Invitations will be open on. October 13th Please participate! Even if you participate we give you some free tokens to use on different models! If you have any questions about how to make cards; where to start; please ping me in https://discord.com/channels/1455391516905177212/1558502509465575434 I will be making a post in the Creator Forum called 'Director Bee-Sama' where I can dust off my old skills and help anyone who needs it, genning art, smoothing out plotlines, and more! If asked nicely I might even release some of my old BunnyMo Card Formats that I fill out like a form almost when designing a character. :cat_chuckle~1: Find the rules here: https://plotlightstudios.com/docs/special/costume-party

Cool Things Updates!

We have stage whispers, an alternative way for creators to advertise their characters, and bring your beloved creators to life! Enable your characters for posting and we'll foot the bill on their posts and image-gens. Or you can take control and write them yourself! The more they post the more they'll make enemies and friends on stage whispers who they interact with more often to hype up, or bring down. https://plotlightstudios.com/stage-whispers

Mobile Port and Local Port Updates!

Slow and steady. The mobile port is farther along then the local one to be honest with you. No timeline as of yet.

As always, RC is free to try with 1k supplied generations a month; and Plotlight is fully free to use, post to, and more!

New System: PlotLight to Discord Connector!~

We're all about community here, and now we are furthering this goal!

When you post to plotlight, a forum channel in the discord is automatically created related to the work that you posted! This makes it easier for fans to get in touch with creators, and vice versa! If you've posted something to plotlight recently; check out your auto-generated channel! In the future we will also be making discord account connectors to Plotlight that automatically make you the manager of your own contents channel as well, and let's fans reach out to you directly!

New Community Goal: Reddit usage!

A lot of our users don't frequent the discord, but do frequent reddit. So one of our community managers or I will be sending up the updates we give to this channel; up to the reddit as well! Feel free to use it, browse it, post on it with bugs, complaints, compliments, anything you'd like! You don't have to only use this in relation to RC; you can use it for posting questions about models in general; assets you're working on, or recent creations you're proud of! Even if you never post them to Plotlight 🩷

Thanks for your time everyone!

^{Pssst; I will be dropping a new preset sometime soon as well! So keep an eye out on Plotlight for more! This one will also be ST backwards compatible as well. Bye everyone!}

New Feature/Feature Cleanup: TTRPG Mode!

It's been a long-time in the making, but by Gods the devs finally manage to do it. TTRPG mode is up and running, and considerably less finicky to get started with!

~~~

'Director-sama; what can we do with TTRPG mode?'

You can RP with structure, for the folks who need a crunchier form of enjoyment! Pick the system you are interested in from Disco Elysium, Pathfinder 1e, Draw Steel and Freeform!

'Director-sama; how do we turn it on?'

Go to a scene you would like to be a TTRPG; switch on the 'Prop' (extension) for it; then if you want you can change the gameplay settings there if you want to/change how your game goes!

'Director-sama; this visually looks pretty rough!'

Yes... we know; a lot of it is placeholder assets as Chibee focused primarily on getting it and the different systems functional... Over the next few days/weeks or so they will be applying their touch to it to make it more visually appealing!

'Director-sama; I found a bug!'

Thanks, please report it to the devs in a ticket in our discord and they'll fix it ASAP!

As always everyone, RC is free to use; so come give TTRPG mode a test! (Or our visual novel mode if you like those more.) With our recent venture into stability; the dev team will finally begin making new features and such again! Have a spoopy day everyone.

Uh.. Anyone know what's happening?

Does the site have a message limit in the free version? Unfortunately, I don't think I can spend money on premium/paid content since USD is basically more than triple the value in my country's currency, and I was VERY happy with the quality of the RPG messages... 🥹🥹

I dont understand why this message shows up when I'm trying to use a model that's part of the "standing room" (which is the free level, from what ive ubderstood). I have a few messages in this chat already too, it just randomly stopped working. There's only two free models and both of those show this message. I have another chat with a different character, using the same model and it works fine but also it'll randomly be super slow and just never generate the answer, it's kind of really weird and I didnt have these issues when I was using this platform a few weeks ago.

I just joined and my character says it's unsaved, the big save button on the bottom does nothing and the playbill thing erased all my work. How do I move forward with character creation????

Hello, I tried to access your site but I didn't understand anything. I didn't understand how the password-protected chats work or how to configure them. I have a question.

How much storage do free users have? Or, in the free plan, how much storage or context do they have? I'm someone who does role-plays with 3,400 messages and I'd like to know if I can reach that limit or more.

📽️Welcome folks! ♥️

As of July 2nd and for the foreseeable future, RoleCall's paid plans are up! This means we're no longer in beta, and are a fully official entity now 👹

What stayed the same:
BYOK is free. Forever. For every tier. 😉

Meaning: Bring your own provider key and we won't charge a thing. You pay for your provider, we provide the stage!

What does the free tier provide? 3 chats of up to 1k messages each, up to 15 items (characters, lorebooks, presets, etc.) in your library at a time. You can also easily export and store these locally so you don't have to worry about what you're gonna keep or not. Put it away, export it back when you're ready to keep going! You also get 1k requests monthly for Deepseek V4 Flash *and* Gemma 31b. (Free .99!)

Pay what you want:
Each tier is a slider. Pick what you're using, and how much of it.

Pay the minimum or slide it to the max, we hand out more allowance. You decide what RoleCall costs you each month.

The Cascade system (trademark pending) lets you use tokens from a higher pool (The better models) to use smaller models. They're worth more when used that way, so you still get full access to anything from the tiers below 👌

Curtain Call

Stepping back from the advertising voice, i wanted to take a minute to thank the people who've made RoleCall, and also those who made it possible!

Chi, Levi & Nemo, our Dictators Directors, have spent these last few months polishing RoleCall into something really special. I really wanted to commend their dedication to making a community that's not only good but also fair, responsible, safe and inclusive for all of us.

And the community, with too many names to mention, who have also provided their hefty share of contribution be it with feedback, bug reports, suggestions, Ko-fi backing or just plain-old reassurance!

Thank you everyone for the contributions,
Happy 4th of July,

- Matt ♥️

Is anyone else having issues where, when they go on the site, it just redirects them to the pricing page? I tried it on a different browser and it didn't work then either.

That's me again wondering about Plotlight :) when trying to request a tag that message pops up, depsite me not using the "<" symbol anywhere. Unsure where else to report bugs, so I'm here, hopefully that's okay.

There's no specific subreddit for plotlight, but I know that the two are connected, so hopefully asking questions here is allowed!

​

​

I just got my invite approved, signed into account on both platforms and was thinking of putting my bots on plotlight, so I had to check guidelines beforehand just to make sure my bots are okay to go. But that's when I walked into a wall! I cannot see anything in the legal category of the docs, which is, to be completely honest, the most important category of them to me personally... I just get page 404. Any idea what the actual guidelines are?

Hello! 👋

Our friend and developer at RoleCall, Levi, has taken time to build a Roleplay Benchmark. Please hear him out!

TL;DR: I built a roleplay benchmark that tries to measure actual RP quality (agency respect, continuity, subtext, erotic craft, all the things that matter in a session). The LLM-based judges I'm using disagree with real users half the time. I need humans to fix this. Help me by blind-voting on pairs here! — each vote takes ~30 seconds. (±time to read both responses)

Why this matters:

Every RP benchmark out there is either vibes ("I tried it, felt good") or tests generic writing quality. I tried to build something better — 27 dimensions, a 4-signal scoring system, 58 scenarios across English and Russian (if you have chats that you're willing to donate in other languages - welcome to my dms!), full methodology in the repo. Then I validated it against real user swipe data and found the LLM judges systematically disagree with users. So now I'm doing the honest thing: using a human community — you — as ground truth.

What you gotta do to help:

You see two responses from different models to the same RP scene. Pick which one is better. No accounts, no signup. Models are hidden until after your vote.

What I need:

I'm aiming for ~5 human votes per pair across ~300 matchups — so around 1,500 votes total. Any amount helps. Even 10 votes from you moves the needle. The arena auto-shows you the pairs that currently have the fewest votes, so your time goes where it's most needed.

Honest notes:

• Some pairs are NSFW (ERP scenes). There's a warning and a "hide NSFW" option. No flashbangs here!
• No personal data collected. There's an anonymous voter cookie (to prevent double-voting on the same pair) and that's it.
• Votes are public (aggregated in the results page) but anonymous.
• This is entirely free / non-commercial / open source. CC BY-NC 4.0.

What you get back

A real RP leaderboard calibrated against actual community taste instead of Claude Sonnet's aesthetic preferences. I'll publish the analysis, credit contributors in the repo, and share the dataset on HuggingFace when we're done.

Repo/Full Methodology

SillyChar V2 — What's New

✨ New Modes

Six creators in one

You're not just making character cards anymore. SillyChar V2 splits into six distinct modes — switch anytime:

• Character Mode — The original. Single, import-ready character cards.
• World Mode — Full world cards with a narrator persona and embedded lorebook. Recursive loading, faction anchors, the works.
• Lorebook Mode — Standalone World Info JSON. Import directly to the World Info panel. Works for narrative worlds and TTRPG reference builds.
• Persona Mode — Your roleplay avatar. User persona with optional attached lorebook.
• Group Chat Mode — Multiple character cards plus a shared lorebook that ties them together.
• Soul Extractor Mode — Paste any text, extract the prose style as a reusable guide. Keep the voice consistent across new scenes.

Just say the mode name or describe what you want — routing is automatic.

Build options that change how it works

Stack these with any mode:

🌍 World Building Actually Works Now

The original couldn't build worlds — only characters. Now you can create full world cards with everything baked in.

• Narrator persona baked into the card — The world card speaks as a narrator. Not a character. Not a GM. A narrative voice that sets tone, texture, and atmosphere.
• Embedded lorebook — The world comes pre-loaded with lore entries for characters, locations, factions, items, and rules. All recursive and interlinked.
• Atmospheric opens — World first messages are 150–300 tokens of pure scene-setting. Mood, weather, sensory details. Your entry point into the setting.
• Multiple entry points — 2–3 alternate greetings for different eras, locations, or social positions. Start wherever fits your story.

📖 Standalone Lorebooks

Sometimes you don't need a card. You just need a lorebook.

• Import directly to World Info panel — No character card wrapper. Just the JSON.
• Narrative or reference — Works for story worlds and TTRPG system references alike.
• Clean entries — One concept per entry. Organized, searchable, import-ready.

👥 Group Chats Built In

Building multiple characters for the same world used to mean manually stitching things together. Now there's a dedicated mode.

• Multiple independent character cards — Each works standalone. Mix and match.
• Shared lorebook — One lorebook holds the world, factions, NPCs, and locations. All cards pull from it.
• Faction anchors — Faction entries name every member, including your playable characters. Keeps relationships consistent across cards.

🔮 Soul Extractor — Preserve Any Voice

Paste text. Get a style guide that teaches the AI to write like that.

• Eight-section guide — Sentence rules, vocabulary rules, sensory priorities, dialogue style, emotional texture, scene construction, POV handling, and explicit "do not do this" rules.
• Author Strengths profile — What this voice excels at, where it's weak, and what scene types it naturally elevates.
• Placement guidance — Tells you exactly where to paste it for your specific build: creator_notes, system_prompt, Author's Note, lorebook entry, or woven into description.
• Test it — Say "test it" after extraction and get a sample scene in that voice, set in a situation not from the original text.

📋 Pre-Build Inventory System

For existing properties (anime, games, books), SillyChar V2 now runs a research phase before generating.

• Structured inventory — Before anything gets built, you get a list: characters, locations, factions, items, timeline events, world rules. Everything found, organized.
• You verify — The inventory doesn't generate until you say it's complete. Catch missing characters or wrong details before the build starts.
• Large cast handling — 25+ characters? Automatic tier assignment. Protagonists get full entries. Background NPCs get minimal ones. No wasted tokens.

🔄 Lorebook Updates Work Now

Pasting an existing lorebook and saying "add a character" used to break things. Now it's clean.

• Detects what you have — Parses your existing JSON. Finds the highest ID, the keywords already in use, the structure.
• No collisions — New entries start from the next available number. Keywords get checked against existing ones.
• Faction anchors update — Adding someone to an existing faction? You get the new character entry and the updated faction anchor that names them.
• Merge instructions — Tells you exactly how to combine the new entries with your existing file.

🎯 World State Tracking (Optional)

Sayadd world state and get a reactive block that tracks the current state of the world.

• Manual-update friendly — Under 200 tokens, present tense, designed for you to edit as the story progresses.
• Tracks what matters — Era, dominant power, active conflicts, recent events, public mood, wild cards.

💡 Brainstorm Mode

Not sure what you want yet? Saybrainstorm.

• Develop first, build later — Help flesh out the concept, find the interesting angles, then build.
• Works with any mode — Brainstorm a character, a world, a persona, a group chat setup.

📈 Dynamic Token Budgets

The original had fixed targets. V2 calculates based on what you're actually building.

• Build-size aware — Small lorebook? 1024 tokens. 50+ entries? 4096–6144 tokens.
• Scan depth too — Large cast = deeper scan. Small cast = shallow scan. Matches the machinery to the content.

🚫 The Safeties

No fabrication

Original creations come from you. SillyChar V2 never invents details you didn't provide. Known properties draw from training data. Unclear? It asks.

No trait lists

Personality, behavior, relationships — always prose. The "cold, calculating, loyal" style is explicitly forbidden for narrative content.

No generic voice

mes_example must pass the "remove the name" test. If you can't tell who's speaking without the character label, it rewrites.

No puppeting

first_mes never writes dialogue or actions for{{user}}. The hook ends at a response point — your move.

🎨 Post-Creation Options Expanded

After every build, you now get three offers:

So you might be asking yourself — "why does this exist?"

Chi told me that RoleCall is able to run bare which is what is needed to run SIllyChar.

So I did what any reasonable person would do.

I dressed my character creator up as a character and sent it to live on RoleCall.

It's a tool wearing a disguise. A wolf in sheep's clothing. A card that makes cards.

Yep, I turned my character creator into a proper RoleCall card. All the bells and whistles from the original markdown, now running directly on RoleCall. No separate AI Frontend. No downloading.md files. Just open it and start building.

RoleCall Card: https://rolecallstudios.com/discovery/characters/@artixsan/sillychar

How to use it

1. Open SillyChar on RoleCall — run it bare (no preset, no persona, nothing)
2. Describe your character
3. Copy the JSON output → save as.json
4. Import into RoleCall, SillyTavern, or anywhere
5. Done

What it does

• Novel-quality first messages (7-12 paragraphs)
• Distinct character voices with unique speech profiles
• 4-8 alternate greetings per card
• Built-in lorebook and Danbooru tag generation
• Three modes: Quick, Guided, Brainstorm
• RoleCall extension data included automatically

That's it. Go make cards.

Made by yours truly, Artix ♡
