The main editor puts everything at your fingertips: a filterable hex list in the sidebar, the canvas map in the center, and a detail panel on the right showing all content for the selected hex.
Build encounters with creature rosters, difficulty ratings, linked NPCs, and detailed rewards. Track outcomes as your campaign unfolds, or create reusable templates for random encounters.
Every NPC tracks race, class, alignment, attitude, faction membership, and relationships to other NPCs across the map. The NPC Directory gives you a bird's-eye view of your cast of characters.
Generate terrain, encounters, and landmarks across your grid using configurable density sliders and terrain tables. A seeded PRNG ensures you can reproduce the same results.
Open a second window that shows only discovered hexes, with fog of war hiding DM-only content. Perfect for streaming or projecting onto a second screen at the table.
Log events as they happen during your sessions, tagged by type and linked to specific hexes. Review the full timeline to recall what happened and when.
