Click the green "New Kinship" button at the top of the Kinships page to create one, or the "Edit" button on a kinship card or profile to change it. The form is organized into a few sections — fill in only what your game needs.

Main Settings

Give the kinship a Name (for example The Adams Family, Fire Squadron, or Chess Club). Game Masters also see a Folder dropdown to file the kinship away and a Secret? toggle that hides it from players entirely.

Kinship Owner

Assign a player character as the Kinship Owner. This is significant: the owner gets admin control over the kinship (the same edit rights a GM has), is given a permanent Kinship Owner master rank, and unlocks the kinship's wealth and cache features. If you later remove the owner, that owner rank is deleted, so the form warns you before you do.

Keep Ranking Members Private?

When set to yes, the Ranking Members tab is hidden from anyone who isn't a GM, Kinship Keeper, or a ranking member of the kinship — useful when membership itself is sensitive.

Kinship Ranks: Additional Features

These three options need at least one rank that isn't the Owner rank:

• Open Enrollment? — lets players join the kinship with their own characters without waiting to be added; the character drops in at the lowest available rank. A "Join Kinship" button then appears on the profile. (Requires at least one rank, or the button won't show.)
• Track Reputation? — adds a reputation panel to the profile and a tracking number on the Ranking Members tab, so you can log standing for individual characters within the kinship.
• Reputation Descriptor Override — optionally rename "Reputation" to something else like Renown or Points. Enter a single space to use no descriptor at all.

Additional Visibility Settings

These let you de-clutter a profile by hiding pieces you aren't using:

• Hide Kinship Vault? — hides both the Wealth & Resources and the Kinship Cache boxes. While hidden, no one can deposit or adjust wealth and resources, though an existing cache is still reachable by its direct link.
• Hide Ranks & Ranking Members? — hides the Ranks box and the Ranking Members tab. Any ranks already assigned to characters still appear on those character profiles.

Kinship Stats

If you've created custom kinship stats in the Kinship Stats Admin, they appear here as collapsible panels to fill in (Treasury Tier, Morale, Membership Size, or whatever you track). The Kinship Stats Admin link is available to Kinship Keepers and GMs. Note that stat values can't contain these reserved characters: " , { | }

Content & Details

Add an optional Type (Family, Guild, Church, Faction) and Location for reference, a Description and Notes (both visible to everyone), and — for Game Masters — a Game Master Secrets editor that only GMs can see. Finally, set an Image (a family emblem, guild badge, or religious symbol); upload your own or pick from the Image Library on the Knight, Monarch, and Deity tiers.
