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. Full notes: https://app.trailsweaver.com/updates/roll-tables-dice-and-faster-saves External link

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.

Free
Chronicled is currently in active development, so features discussed or shown in screenshots may change. Chronicled takes a world you describe once, genre, tone, factions, whatever you've already got, and generates NPCs, enemies, items, faction lore, and portraits that actually sound like they belong to that world specifically. Everything comes with matching portrait art and gets filed automatically into a searchable archive, so fifty entries later it still reads like one consistent world instead of a pile of scattered notes. It's currently in a small, limited beta: free to try, no strings, I just want real feedback from people actually building worlds. /images/general-media/1785334936_hd27gUuS.webpGenerated Enemy Entry Links chronicled.world - Official website

Library submission guidebook

What can I submit to the library? What does it cost me? How to stand out among all the other entries? Feature your project Submitting your project My project is already on the platform, can I change it? If you are a creator in the tabletop gaming space, then the Library is the perfect place to showcase what you have created. Whether you are part of a bigger team, or even a solo-creator, all projects are more than welcome to introduce themselves.  What can I submit to the library? Nearly anything and everything, as long as it is related to the tabletop gaming hobby space is welcome. Game systems If you have a tabletop game system that is missing from the library - we would love to learn more about it and introduce it to other players. Tools & Platforms Have you created a new generator of some kind? A map builder? Encounter calculator? Loot creator, tool for managing your worldbuilding? Or something else? Perfect place to showcase your creation. Youtube and Twitch channels If you are a video creator or a streamer and your channel is about tabletop gaming - then this is the place where to introduce yourself and find new followers. Blogs Do you have blog where you cover tabletop games, news or just write about the hobby itself? Perfect, we'd love to help spread the word Podcasts Whether you topic is a specific tabletop system, is a more general discussion of the field, or an actual play game - this is where you can gather more listeners. Regardless of the game system your podcast uses, as long as it is tabletop-gaming related. Artist Whether you create maps, character artwork or general illustrations for the tabletop gamers and projects. Show off your work and find those who could commission you.

Events Are you hosting a local event or convention? Tell the community about it and reach people who might be looking to attend. If your project does not fall in the categories listed above, do feel free to get in touch with us, we might find a suitable category (or create one) for your specific thing. What does it cost me? We are not paywalling anyone or anything, no matter how big (or non-existent) your budget is. Spreading the word and submitting to the library is free. Whether your creation costs money to use or is free to access, the library is the place for your project. Neither does it cost anyone anything to browse the library. How to stand out among all the other entries? As the library grows, so do the amount of other projects, but worthwhile and useful submissions deserve to be discovered. The best way to ensure that your project stands out, is to gather recommendations.  /images/general-media/1774004489_HpUsMncM.pngThink of recommendations as endorsements, likes, upvotes or anything else in the similar manner.

It also displays trust and usefulness among the community members. Spread your library page and have your devoted fans recommend your project. You can grab our Groupfinder Library badge set and display it on your website to direct users to your entry page.

My project is already on the platform, can I change it?
