Getting Started as a Game Master

Creating Your First Campaign

If you have not create a new campaign, click the create campaign button under the campaign menu.

If you don't already know the theme of your campaign stop here and think about it. 

  • Start with environment like plains, hills, mountains... 
  • Then think of how large your first area is going to be 1 day across (short campaign), 1 month across (longer campaign, multiple regions (vast campaign like the world of Trell)
  • Create some concept of an antagonist like bad guy, groups of bad guys, green fields of unicorns...

With a few ideas in mind, Most adventures have to start somewhere so we start you out with the basics a tavern, in a city, in the region.

  • Start filling out the player notes section (What you tell players) then as you think of ideas you want to spring on them, fill in the DM notes section.
  • Start anywhere and fill the sections with ideas. Don't be affraid to go back and forth between Region, City, tavern...

When you want more than just one tavern in your city just add more buildings. For your campaign, you will see a plus sign (+) in the tree view on the left,  just press it an you have another area that you can build out. This button will add it under the highlighted item. Don't worry if you accidently put it somewhere just drag it to where you want it.


As you add things notice when you edit the building name you also get the option to change the type of building it is. We have a small set of predefined building, growing everyday.


For examples See 'The World of Trell' for organization ideas. 


Most of all Have fun!
