Updates & news

Light, Dark or System, saved to your account and carried across browsers and devices. The switch is in App preferences. Also in this update: the collapsed Properties panel shows how many properties are inside, elements without a picture show their type icon instead of a dark tile, and several fixes around deleting nested elements.

Dice became a real part of a world. Roll tables with weights or classic d100 ranges, rich text outcomes, and a library shared across the whole world. Roll buttons sit on Free boards and tumble 3D dice with a per die breakdown. Inline dice chips live in any page and work in the read-only share view, so players can roll while your prep stays put. Saving also got faster: the app now sends only what changed.

The biggest update so far. New Map boards take your own map art and mark it up with pins, paths and regions that link to anything in your world. New Family trees lay out bloodlines and chains of command on their own. Read-only share links let your table open the whole world in a browser without an account, and anything marked secret stays hidden. Custom element types, a rebuilt Properties panel, and a canvas that now nests cards inside cards.

Overview

Trails Weaver is a visual worldbuilding app for game masters, worldbuilders and writers. Every character, location, faction and item is a page with rich text, images, custom properties and a relations table, and any page can also be dropped onto a board. There are four board types: - an infinite free board where element cards nest inside other element cards. - map boards with pins, regions and roads that reveal more detail as you zoom in. - hierarchy boards for family trees and chains of command. - relationship graph that assembles itself from the relations recorded on each page Anything marked secret stays hidden when a world is shared through a read-only public link. The free plan covers one world, unlimited free-boards and up to 25 world elements. Pro removes every limit.

Key features

Cards inside cards

Element cards nest inside other element cards on an infinite board. A city holds its districts, a district holds the people who run it.

Notes that think they're pages

Sticky notes on a board carry headings, tables and to-do lists, and connect to each other when the plot does.

Share without spoilers

Send a world through a read-only link. Anything marked secret stays hidden from everyone you share it with.

A graph that draws itself

Record a relation on a page and it shows up in the relationship graph. Filter to one house or faction and the rest falls away.

More than family trees

Map bloodlines, noble houses, guild ranks, pantheons and chains of command. Every tree lays itself out as you add to it.

Maps that open as you zoom

Upload a map, draw roads and regions, drop pins. A country reveals its cities, a city reveals its districts.

Forged in the Dark (2017)

Rules-medium
Forged in the Dark is a tabletop roleplaying game framework and System Reference Document created by John Harper. Released in 2017, it is the underlying engine that powers Blades in the Dark and has since been used by independent designers to build countless other games, such as Scum and Villainy and Band of Blades. It excels at telling stories about capable but flawed groups of people pulling off daring missions against overwhelming odds. The system it directly evolved from is Blades in the Dark Description Instead of being a single game, Forged in the Dark is an open license toolkit. Players form a crew, whether they are space smugglers, military mercenaries, or rebel outcasts, and undertake dangerous missions known as Scores. The system is heavily narrative and focuses on failing forward, meaning a bad dice roll never stalls the story, but instead introduces a new complication. It completely eliminates tedious planning phases by throwing players directly into the action. System Overview & Key Features The d6 Dice Pool To resolve a risky action, a player rolls a pool of six sided dice based on their action rating. The highest single die determines the result. A six is a full success, a four or five is a partial success with a consequence, and a one to three is a bad outcome. Position and Effect Before the dice hit the table, the Game Master establishes the Position (Controlled, Risky, or Desperate) and the Effect (Limited, Standard, or Great). This ensures everyone understands exactly what is at stake and how much impact the action will have. Progress Clocks The game tracks complex threats and long term projects using circular clocks divided into segments. A stealth mission might have a clock for the guards going on high alert, filling up bit by bit as the players roll partial successes or failures. Stress and Resistance Characters have a Stress track that they can spend to push themselves for extra dice or to assist an ally. More importantly, players can spend Stress to resist any consequence the Game Master introduces, allowing characters to survive deadly situations by sheer willpower. Flashbacks Players do not need to spend hours planning a heist or mission. When they encounter an obstacle, they can simply spend Stress to declare a flashback, narrating how their character anticipated the problem and set up a solution in the past. Phases of Play The game flows through specific phases. Free Play is where characters gather information and choose a target. The Score is the actual mission. Finally, Downtime allows the crew to recover from injuries, reduce their heat, and work on personal projects before the cycle begins again.

Campaigns RPG Anti Monopólio Nesta série de actual play em que o caos e a sillyness reina, seguimos três colegas de casa improváveis, arrastados para debaixo do mesmo teto pela crise do imobiliário, fazendo os possíveis que estão ao seu alcance para lutar contra o aumento dos preços das casas e contra a tosta de abacate gentrificada. Normalville Situado para os lados da igualmente inexistente Leiria, Normalville é uma antiga cidade portuguesa, agora vila, com cerca de 3000 habitantes. Nada de especial ou histórico aconteceu em Normalville, a não ser ter sido tornada cidade com a construção do hospital, nos anos 50. Mais tarde, nos final dos anos 90, com a tentativa de uma construção de um parque de estacionamento subterrâneo, o hospital foi engolido pela terra, onde ainda está. A nossa aventura começa a cerca de 15km da pequena vila, num prédio de dois andares, onde os 3 habitantes serão chamados para aquilo que será o início de uma aventura.
