Characters

Character records give the campaign a system-agnostic place to store character context and sheet references.

What to include

• Character name and identity summary.
• Links to external sheets.
• Uploaded PDF snapshots when useful.
• Notes and relationships to NPCs, items, locations, sessions, and questlines.

The core product does not parse rules data from arbitrary sheets. The optional 5e engine adds 5e-specific mechanics only when a campaign opts in.

Sheet links and PDFs

Use external sheet links for the tool your table already trusts: D&D Beyond, Pathbuilder, Demiplane, a Google doc, a Notion page, a PDF in cloud storage, or anything else with a URL. Uploaded PDFs are snapshots for quick reference, not a replacement for the source sheet.

Visibility and ownership

Characters can hold player-facing context while private details stay in notes. For example, a player can keep a personal theory as Only me, share a secret with Selected players, and keep the public character summary clean for the whole table.

Useful relationships

Connect characters to:

• NPCs they owe, fear, love, or suspect.
• Items they carry or want.
• Locations tied to their backstory.
• Sessions where their choices changed the campaign.
• Questlines they started or personally care about.

Those connections make the campaign easier to resume after a break.
