World export

Export your world data for backup, migration, or sharing. Skryrún supports three formats, each suited to a different use case.

JSON export

A complete structured dump of your world: all entities, blocks, relationships, timeline events, table entries, and metadata. JSON export is the right choice if you want a full backup or plan to import your data into another system.

The JSON output follows a consistent schema with entity arrays, nested blocks, and link records. Each entity includes its type, article content (as HTML), tags, visibility, and all block data.

Markdown export

Each entity is exported as a separate .md file with YAML frontmatter. The frontmatter includes entity type, tags, and metadata. The article body is rendered as standard Markdown.

This format imports directly into Obsidian — drop the exported folder into your vault and entity links become Obsidian wiki-links automatically. Also works with Logseq, Foam, and most static site generators.

PDF export

A formatted world document containing all party-visible and public entities, organized by type. Useful for:

  • Printing a campaign bible to hand to players
  • Sharing a read-only snapshot of world lore
  • Archiving a completed campaign

The PDF uses your world's name and cover image as the title page. Entities are sorted by type, with entity titles as headings and articles as body text. GM-only entities are excluded automatically.

📝Note

PDF export does not include blocks marked GM Only or any entity set to GM Only visibility. What you export is what party-visible players would see.

How to export

Full world export:

  1. Open your world.
  2. Click the world menu (the three-dot icon in the world header) or go to World Settings.
  3. Select Export World.
  4. Choose a format (JSON, Markdown, or PDF).
  5. Click Download. The export is generated and downloaded immediately.

Per-entity export:

Every entity has an individual export option. Open the entity's action menu (three-dot icon on the entity page) and select Export. Choose JSON, Markdown, or PDF for that entity only.

Per-entity export is available on all tiers — you don't need Weaver or Runekeeper to export a single entity.

Marketplace content and export protection

If your world contains content forked from the Marketplace — modules, tables, or entity packs purchased or downloaded from another creator — that content may be excluded from JSON exports if the original creator enabled export protection.

Export-protected content will be listed in the export summary screen before you download, so you know what's included and what's excluded. Markdown and PDF exports are not affected by this restriction.

Important

Export protection applies only to forked Marketplace content. Everything you created yourself is always included in your exports, regardless of tier.
