4.0 Campaign Overview
4.1 Creating a Campaign
Making a campaign takes about ten seconds. Chronica asks for two things and lets you fill in everything else later.
- Open your User Dashboard.
- Click the green New Campaign button in the Campaigns panel.
- Enter a Campaign Name. You can change this at any time.
- Enter a Game System — for example D&D 5e, Pathfinder, or Call of Cthulhu. This does not change which tools you get. It helps us decide which features to build next.
- Click Create Campaign.
You are taken straight into the new campaign, and you are its Game Owner and its first Game Master.
What you start with
A new campaign begins on the free Peasant tier, using the Classic theme, with cloning turned off. Chronica creates your personal inventory and the shared party inventory for you.
Everything else is empty on purpose. There are no starter currencies, no calendar, no stat groups and no default folders, because those are the parts every table sets up differently. Build them as you need them, or copy them from a campaign you already run — see 5.0 Cloning Campaign Data.
There is no limit on how many campaigns you can create, and creating one costs nothing. If you want somewhere to experiment before committing, make a second campaign and try things there.
