Choose a guided method
The three-method chooser is available from 1.4.0-beta. Earlier beta builds may open Five-room dungeon directly. These workflows run without AI: you write the answers.
On the campaign home, choose Guided method, or Write an adventure step by step when the campaign is empty. Write with a guided method presents three cards. Click Start under the one you want.
Choose a structure​
| Method | Use | Workflow | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five-room dungeon | A short adventure in five beats | 9 steps | 1 chapter and 5 scenes, with optional sequential links |
| Node-based investigation | Several leads to discover a truth | 9 steps | 1 chapter, 6 scenes and 12 lead/clue links |
| The villain's plan | An enemy whose plan progresses during the campaign | 10 steps | 1 chapter and 6 scenes; optional six-segment clock |
An NPC scene type describes a meeting; add a character sheet afterwards under Characters. You can also complete illustrations, linked opponents and read-aloud text after creation.
Place the adventure​
The first step offers an existing linear arc or the name of a new arc. Hub arcs are not offered as destinations. The new chapter is appended after existing chapters; a new arc follows the campaign's other arcs.
Fields marked with an asterisk are required to continue. Suggested scene names remain editable. Previous and Next let you revisit answers; lightbulbs open the mentor's guidance.
Review and create​
The final step summarises the chapter, scenes and types, plus planned links or a clock. Create the adventure saves the result and opens the chapter for further editing. Existing sheets are preserved.
Sequential linking is an option for Five-room dungeon. The investigation builds its own network; the villain's plan leaves scenes unlinked so you can trigger them across sessions.
Resume a draft​
The current step and answers are stored in this browser, for this campaign and method, when local storage is available. Leave the workflow and reopen the same card to resume it. Each method has its own draft; PC and tablet drafts do not synchronise.
Start over clears answers after confirmation. A failed creation preserves them for retry; successful creation removes the draft. Until final confirmation, no new chapter or scene is created.
After writing the chapter, use Editor review to examine choices, stakes and access paths.
