10.0 Adventure Notes

Adventure Notes are your campaign's journal — session recaps, lore, secrets, and player-written entries. Notes can be nested under one another, sorted into folders, pinned, and kept private as drafts until you're ready to share them. The main page has a sidebar of tools on the left and your published notes on the right, with pinned notes always at the top.

10.1 Creating & Editing an Adventure Note

Click the green "New Adventure Note" button to write one, or the green "Edit" button on a note to change it. The form lets you set a Title, optionally nest the note under a Parent Note or file it into a Folder (a note can use one or the other, not both), and control publishing with the Published?, Pinned?, Visible to Party, and Editable by Party toggles. The Content editor autosaves as you write. Game Masters also get a Game Master Secrets section and, when editing, a "Change Author" option.

Any party member can create notes. A note can be edited by its author, by a Game Master, or by anyone if it's been marked both public and party-editable. Deleting a note, on the other hand, is limited to its author — and when a note is deleted, any notes nested under it move up to its parent rather than being deleted.

10.1.2 Adventure Note Drafts

Any note that isn't published is a draft, listed in the "Your Note Drafts" panel in the sidebar. Drafts are private to you — not even the Game Master can see them. Publish one by opening it and switching Published? to yes.

Heads-up for GMs: if a player is removed from the campaign, their notes stay but lose their author, and any unpublished drafts are force-published. A private draft can become visible this way, so it's worth reviewing a departing player's notes before removing them.

10.2 Search Adventure Notes

Click the blue "Search" button at the top of the notes page to open the search panel. It's a multi-field search — fill in any combination and submit:

  • Title Contains — match words in the title.
  • Content Contains — match words in the body.
  • Public? — filter by Public or Private.
  • By Author — filter to a specific player.

Results appear after you submit (it isn't a live as-you-type filter). An orange "Reset" button clears the search. You'll only ever see notes you have permission to view.

10.3 Adventure Note Folders

Folders keep your notes organized. The sidebar's "Note Folders" panel lists your folders and also offers two handy views: "All Published Adventure Notes" (every published note you can see) and "Unsorted Adventure Notes" (published notes not yet filed into a folder). A separate "Pinned Notes" panel collects everything you've pinned.

Use the blue "Manage Folders" button to create, rename, and delete folders. Any player can make a personal folder for their own use; only Game Masters can mark a folder as a Global Folder that the whole campaign shares. Other players can open your personal folders but only see the notes inside that are public. Deleting a folder never deletes the notes inside it — they simply become unsorted.
