Campaign Overview

  • Campaign name and description
  • Your character (if linked)

Understanding Visibility

You'll only see what your GM has shared:

  • Player Knowledge: Things you've discovered in play

If something seems missing, your character might not know it yet!

  • Typing dots = Someone is editing

Best Practices

  4. Ask questions: If you're unsure what you can access, ask your GM

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why can't I see certain content? A: Your GM controls visibility. If you can't see something, your character hasn't discovered it yet.

Q: Can I edit wiki pages? A: Only if your GM has enabled collaborative editing for that campaign.

Q: What happens if I forget my password? A: Contact your GM - they can reset your access or create a new invite code.

Q: Can I access multiple campaigns? A: Yes! Each invite code is for a specific campaign. Join as many as your GMs invite you to.
