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.

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.

Dungeon Crawl Classics (2012)

Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game (DCC RPG or simply DCC) is a role-playing game published by Goodman Games in 2012. The game is famous for its chaotic magic, bizarre dice, and its distinct artwork. DCC RPG is a fast-paced, open-feeling rules set allowing for epic game experiences without unnecessary tethers. It uses modern game-play while paying homage to the origins of role-playing and the fun that it inspired. While it is an ongoing argument, DCC can be considered an OSR game. The system it directly evolved from is Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition (2000). Description You’re no hero. You’re an adventurer: a reaver, a cutpurse, a heathen-slayer, a tight-lipped warlock guarding long-dead secrets. You seek gold and glory, winning it with sword and spell, caked in the blood and filth of the weak, the dark, the demons, and the vanquished. There are treasures to be won deep underneath, and you shall have them. System Overview & Key Features The Level Zero Funnel Instead of carefully crafting a single hero, each player generates three or four completely random level zero peasants. You run this mob through a deadly introductory dungeon. The few survivors who manage to escape earn their first class level and become your actual player characters. The Dice Chain The game uses a set of unusual dice alongside the standard setup. These include a d3, d5, d7, d14, d16, d24, and d30. Instead of applying static mathematical penalties or bonuses, the Game Master might simply tell you to roll the next die up or down on the chain. Mighty Deeds of Arms Warriors and Dwarves do not have rigid skill trees or complex combat feats. Before any attack, they can declare a heroic maneuver, like blinding an enemy or sweeping their legs. They roll a Deed Die alongside their attack, and if the die rolls high enough, the maneuver succeeds dynamically. Roll to Cast Magic Magic is incredibly powerful but highly unpredictable. Wizards and Clerics must roll a spell check every time they cast. A high roll creates a massive, reality altering effect, while a low roll causes the spell to fail and potentially slip from the caster's mind for the rest of the day.
