Campaign settings, roles & sessions
Manage your table: co-GMs and campaign admins, locking the roster, running live sessions, freezing between-session chat, permissions, and the mature toggle.
A campaign's Settings section (visible to admins on the campaign hub) controls who can do what, how sessions run, and — for AI tables — how the AI Game Master behaves. Changes save as you toggle them.
Roles & who's in charge
- GM (owner) — created the campaign; full control.
- Co‑GM — a trusted second GM; can run the table and manage members. Co‑GMs are campaign admins automatically.
- Player — plays a character.
- Campaign admin — an extra flag the owner/GM can grant a player so they can help manage settings, sessions, and tools without being a full co‑GM.
Managing the roster
- Add members — GMs add people by @username as a Player or Co‑GM.
- Lock the roster — turn on membership lock to stop any new members from being added (useful once a campaign is full or mid‑arc).
- Grant/revoke admin — toggle the campaign‑admin flag per player in Settings. The owner is always an admin.
Live sessions
A campaign is either in session or not; everyone sees the status. Running sessions keeps play deliberate and (for AI tables) controls spend.
- Start / end a session — from the hub. Who can is set by Session control: admins only (default) or any member.
- Require an active session (default on) — the AI GM only takes turns while a session is live; between sessions it waits.
- Allow chat when inactive (default on) — turn off to freeze the party chat for non‑admins between sessions.
Player permissions
- Players can add NPCs — let players (not just admins) create/generate NPCs & adversaries.
- Players can add notes — let players add to the shared journal (GM‑only secret notes always stay GM‑only).
- Battle map — enable or hide the shared battle map for the campaign.
Mature (18+) content
For AI‑GM campaigns, a GM can mark the table mature to allow dark themes, graphic violence, and strong language. Sexually explicit content — and anything sexual involving minors — stays blocked regardless, and if a minor is at the table the GM is kept strictly PG no matter the rating.
