Campaign

The campaign is the container for your game. It structures the story into Arcs → Chapters → Scenes, complemented by Quests that track the players' objectives, and gathers the characters (players and non-players) who take part in it. It also brings together your game resources (bestiary, items, random tables), the tracking of your playthroughs, a guided prep that tells you what's left to do, and AI tools (RAG workshop, PDF import).

  • Arc — a major part of the story (10-30 sessions). Carries a theme, stakes, and a resolution. Linear (chapters in sequence) or hub (freely accessible quests).
  • Chapter — a stage within the arc (1-3 sessions). Carries player objectives and GM notes.
  • Scene — a playable unit (10 min to 1h of play). Setting, mood, narration for the players, GM secrets.
  • Quest — an objective tracked per playthrough (available, in progress, completed), attached to a hub arc or free-standing.

A campaign can be backed by a Lore (an existing universe) and a Game System (the game rules). These links are soft references — the campaign remains usable even if the Lore is deleted, and you can reassign it to another Lore at any time. The relationship graph visualizes these connections.

Narrative branches​

Scenes can carry branches (narrative exits) that point to other scenes within the same chapter. Useful for modeling player choices or conditional forks.
