Reference

A Campaign is the top-level container for one story. Everything else in Wyrdli, the people, the places, the Secrets, the Sessions, lives inside exactly one Campaign.

A Session is one sitting at the table. It anchors the date, the notes, the Recording, the Transcript, and the advancement that came out of the night.

A Character is the mechanical record sheet a player owns. Attributes, advancement points, strikes. The Discord slash commands operate on this.

An NPC is a character you drive. They carry Goals, those Goals become the Threats the party faces, and almost everything else in your Campaign hangs off them.

A PC is your narrative handle on a player's character. The player owns the Character sheet; you own the PC, and use it to wire the player into Scenes, relationships, Factions, and notes.

A Location is a physical place in the story. Locations nest (a basement inside a house inside a city) and they're where Scenes happen and Clues live.

A Faction is a group of NPCs with shared interests. A guild, a noble house, a cult. Factions carry their own Goals and Threats.

A Scene is a unit of play that happens at a Location. It carries a Tension (often what an NPC wants), it's anchored to a place, and playing it can put new Clues in front of the party.

A Knife is a detail from a PC's backstory that you can use to make a Scene personal. Find knives pulls them out of the backstory; you use them by adding them to Scenes.

A Clue is a piece of evidence the party finds: a torn letter, a body, a story from an NPC. Clues lead the party from one place to another and point toward Secrets.

A Secret is one arc of your campaign. The whole hidden truth the party is gradually uncovering through clues.

A Threat is what an NPC or a Faction wants to do to the party. Threats come from Goals; you keep a pool of them and drop one in when the tempo calls for it.

A Goal is the standing want of an NPC or a Faction. Goals are the engine that produces Threats and the Tension that makes Scenes play.

An Event is one line in a Character's advancement log. Every advancement point spent writes one Event.

An Item is a narratively-significant object: an heirloom, a sealed letter, the smoking gun. Items can also be Clues; the Item is the thing, the Clue is what it represents.

A Template is the default document for new entities of a given kind. Its content is a structured document of headings and italic AI-instructions; the AI fills the instructions when you ask it to.

Every slash command the Wyrdli Discord bot offers, grouped by what it does. Player commands are runnable by any player; GM commands are GM-only.

Global search with Cmd+K, in-editor AI slash commands, @-mentions inside rich text, and the keyboard surface of the Play view.

Every term Wyrdli uses, defined for the people using it. When two articles disagree, the glossary wins.
