Your character portal

The character portal is your read-only window into the campaign world. You see what your character would know — not the full world the GM has built, and not other players' private character information.

What's visible to you

Your portal shows content the GM has made available to you specifically:

  • Party-visible entities — NPCs, locations, factions, items, and lore the GM has revealed to the whole group
  • Character-tagged entities — content your GM has shared with your character specifically, based on your character's tags
  • Session summaries the GM has published after each session
  • Your character's backstory articles that have been approved and canonized
  • The world timeline, showing events marked as visible to the party

You won't see GM-only content — that's your GM's private notes, unrevealed secrets, and plot information. If a wikilink in an article points to a GM-only entity, it appears as plain text rather than a clickable link.

Navigating the portal

The portal sidebar lists entity types that have content available to you: NPCs, Locations, Factions, Items, Events, Lore. Types with no visible content are hidden — if you don't see a category, there's nothing there for your character yet.

Click any category to browse a filtered list. Use the search bar at the top to find any entity by name. Results are filtered to your visibility level automatically.

Entity pages

Click any entity card to open its full article. From the article page you can:

  • Read the full article content, including any text blocks, callouts, and images the GM has added
  • Click wikilinks to navigate to connected entities
  • View the entity's relationship connections
  • See linked images the GM has attached

You can't edit entity articles. If you notice an error or want to add a note to your GM, use the message icon on the entity page.

Your character profile

Your profile lives in the portal and includes:

  • Name, portrait, class, race, and background
  • Backstory articles that have been approved by your GM
  • Your arc log, relationship anchors, and other character tools

Your GM sets up your character initially. You can update your portrait and add to your backstory from the profile page.

📝Note

Your character profile is visible to your GM. Other players can see your character's name and portrait in the party roster, but not your private arc log entries or unapproved backstory articles.

If something isn't showing

Two reasons an entity might not appear in your portal:

  1. Your GM has it set to GM Only and hasn't revealed it yet
  2. Your character doesn't have the visibility tag that unlocks that content

In either case, ask your GM. They can check visibility settings and share content directly with your character if appropriate.

💡Tip

The portal updates in real time. When your GM reveals something during a session, it appears in your portal immediately — you don't need to refresh the page.
