4.0 Campaign Overview

The Campaign Overview is the home page of a campaign. It gathers the campaign's key information, quick links, players, and next event in one place, and it's where Game Masters reach the campaign's settings.

The Quick Info panel

This panel summarizes the campaign: the Game Owner (shown with a d10 die icon), Game System, Created On date, Subscription Tier, and number of Players. Game Masters also see a Storage Used bar, a Download JSON row with a "View Options" link, and an Activity Log row with a "View Log" link.

The "View Options" link opens a Download JSON page where you can export individual sections of your campaign data (Characters, Quests, Kinships, and so on), each with its own download button. This is for your own backup — the exported files can't be re-uploaded into Chronica.

Quick Links, About, and players

Game Masters can add handy Quick Links with the "+ Link" button (once created, everyone can see them). The About section shows the campaign description, and Game Masters get a Game Master Secrets panel only they can read. The Players panel lists party members and links to Party Info; the next event panel links to Events.

Game Masters see an "Edit Campaign" button at the top. A Game Master who isn't the Game Owner also sees a "Want to leave this campaign?" button, which takes them to their player settings to leave.

4.1 Creating a Campaign

From your User Dashboard, click the green "New Campaign" button. Only two fields are required — Campaign Name and Game System — so you can be up and running in seconds. New campaigns start on the free Peasant tier; you can upgrade any time from the campaign's subscription settings.

4.2 Editing a Campaign

Game Masters open the campaign settings with the green "Edit Campaign" button on the overview. The form includes:

  • Campaign Name and Game System.
  • Campaign Theme — choose Classic, Nebula, or Blacklight.
  • Allow cloneable data? — lets this campaign's data be cloned into other campaigns. This toggle is visible only to the Game Owner.
  • Disable sell tab on inventory items? — when on, removes the Sell tab from inventory items across the campaign, so players can't auto-sell items for wealth. Use it if you'd rather players only sell through shops or to each other.
  • Filter the left navigation — a checklist of features (Quest Log, NPC Codex, Kinships, and so on); checked items are tucked into a collapsed, GM-only section of the sidebar to reduce clutter. Note this only hides the links — it doesn't block access to those features.
  • About and a collapsible Game Master Secrets editor (GM-only), plus a header image and optional embedded video.

The Game Owner also sees a "Campaign Subscription Settings" button here for managing the plan.

4.3 Deleting a Campaign

Deleting a campaign is permanent, so it takes a couple of deliberate steps. First, if the campaign is on a paid tier, downgrade it to the free Peasant tier — the delete option only appears on the free tier. Then, on the Edit Campaign page, click the red "Permanently Delete" button to open the confirmation modal.

In the modal, you must type the word delete into the field to unlock the red "Confirm Delete Campaign" button — until you do, it stays greyed out. Only the Game Owner can complete the deletion.

This cannot be undone. Deleting a campaign destroys all of its data permanently — there is no recovery. If you want a backup first, use the Download JSON options on the overview page (note that those exports are for your records and can't be re-imported).

4.4 Changing the Campaign Owner

The Game Owner is the account that holds the campaign's subscription, so ownership can't be reassigned from within the app. If you need to transfer a campaign to a different owner, contact the Chronica team at support@chronica.ventures and we'll help arrange it. We will require confirmation from both parties.
