Getting Started

How do I create an account?

Click "Sign Up" in the top navigation and enter your email address and password. You can also sign in with Google or Apple if those options are available.

How do I join a game?

Browse the Games page to find games looking for players. Click on a game to see details, and if there are open slots, you'll see a "Join Game" button. If the game is full, you can join the waitlist.

How do I create my own game?

Once you're signed in, go to the Games page and click "Create New Game". Fill in the details about your campaign - title, description, game system, and maximum player slots. You'll automatically become the referee (Game Master) of your game.

Managing Your Game

How do I schedule sessions?

As a referee, go to your game's page and click "Schedule Session". Set the date, time, and any notes about the session. Players can RSVP to let you know if they'll be there.

How do I manage players?

From your game's page, you can see all active players and anyone on the waitlist. You can approve waitlisted players when slots become available, or remove players if needed.

What are NPCs?

As a referee, you can create Non-Player Characters (NPCs) for your game. These can be allies, foes, or members of the party's entourage. You control their visibility - keep them hidden until they're revealed in the story!

Characters & Journals

How do I create a character?

Join a game first, then from the game's page you can create your character. Add their name, class, level, bio, and background details.

What are character journals?

Journals let you write in-character recaps, thoughts, or stories. You can set visibility to public (everyone can read), game-only (only your party sees it), or referee-only (private between you and the GM).
