The binder: lore, handouts and quests
Everything a Dungeon Master writes down lives in the binder: places, people, factions, history, rumours, handouts, the calendar and the quests. The party sees the part you show them; the AI, at an assisted or AI table, reads all of it through recall.
Lore entries
- Party-visible or DM-only, per entry. A DM-only entry never reaches a player's screen or recap.
- Secret blocks inside a visible entry: a paragraph only the DM sees, or an audience of named players who see it and nobody else.
- Links. Type
[[and autocomplete offers entries, NPCs, places and monsters with a live preview; the link lands at the cursor. Every entry lists its backlinks. - Inline rolls.
[[1d6]]in the text becomes a live roll the reader can press. - Tags and pictures. Tags you already use are offered; a picture on an entry makes it a handout.
- PDF pages. Drop a PDF on an entry and its pages are indexed for recall, so the AI (and Ask the DM) can answer from your own notes. On Android a PDF opens in the phone's own viewer.
Handouts
Show this now pushes an entry to the table dressed as a parchment scroll or a posted notice. Players see it unroll and it stays in their Story tab. A handout can go to the whole table or to an audience.
Quests
Quests are written by the DM and ticked by hand. They show in the party's Story tab, are written into the AI's prompt with a floor, and close with a title card when you mark them done.
The timeline and the calendar
Dated events, in-world, on a timeline the party can read. The calendar editor defines the months, weekdays, moons, festivals and scheduled events; when the clock crosses an event it becomes a fact and a title card.
The relationship graph
A drawn graph of who knows whom: party, cast, factions, with the relationship meter's standing on each edge. The party's view shows what they have learned.
Recall
Lore, PDF pages, past chapters and extracted facts are indexed with a small embedding model on the server, so the Dungeon Master finds the right entry from a name or a phrase rather than from recent messages. A self-hosted server warms that model once; an app-hosted world carries it.
In the workshop
The same lore editor is the workshop's Lore tool, so a world's binder can be written before any campaign exists and imported into each one. See The workshop.
