How to use it

• Create one from the home screen with Create Campaign, or open one from My Campaigns.
• The left-hand list switches between the campaign's parts: Overview, Story, Locations, Maps, Characters, NPCs, Monsters, Encounters, Items / Rewards, Images, Rules and Sessions. On a phone the list is in the menu.
• Players and Schedule are marked Soon: they are not available yet.

Step by step

1. Tap Create Campaign.
2. Choose Start From Scratch, Use Adventure (an editable copy of a built-in adventure) or Quick Start Adventure.
3. Pick the ruleset and its options, then create it.
4. Fill in the Overview: name, description, Player Introduction and GM Introduction.
5. Add locations, then everything else, in the Start Here order.

Overview and Introductions

• Edit on the Overview sets the name, description and both introductions.
• The Player Introduction is what every player reads when they first join a session. The GM Introduction is for you only.
• Visibility in the same editor sets the campaign's house rule for Fog of War, Remember Explored Areas and Share Party Vision.

Locations

• A location is a place in the story: a village, a tower, a cave.
• A location can have a map. Characters are always in a location; each location runs its own Free Play or combat.
• NPCs can be "usually found at" a location, and encounters belong to one.

Story, Images and Rules

• Story holds the plot steps. Encounters can be Triggered By or Advance a story step.
• Images stores portraits, map art and item pictures for this campaign.
• Rules shows the ruleset and its options, such as how ability scores are made.
