Getting started as a player
Join your GM's Discord server, create a Character, set them up the way you want, and put one roll on the record before the first session.

You've been invited to a campaign. The GM has built the world; your job is to show up with a Character who has a reason to step into it. By the end of this article you'll have a sheet on file, a face to go with the name, and at least one roll in the play log so the table knows what your character is good at.
A Discord account.
An invite to the Discord server the GM is running the campaign on.
The GM has already created the Campaign there (they ran /campaign create). If they haven't, you're early; check in with them.
Accept the Discord invite and open the server.
Look for a pinned message in the channels list. The GM usually pins a note in the channel they've chosen for play, so the slash commands land in the right place.
Read the pinned message. It tells you which text channel to type in and which voice channel the table uses.
Your Character is the mechanical record the table sees: a name, attributes, a sheet that grows as the campaign goes on. Pick a concept that fits the setting (an investigative journalist who can't let a story go, a folklore professor who knows what the cult's symbols mean, an ex-cop with one good lead and three bad memories) and create the sheet on Discord.
In the play text channel, run /character create followed by the name you want.
Run /character details to see your sheet. You start with nine advancement points to spend on attributes; spend them now or save some for later.
Optional but recommended: set a portrait with /character set avatar and an attached image. The picture shows up next to every roll the bot posts, which makes the table feel like a table.
The bot answers in the channel as you go. Anything you set on Discord lives on the web app too, with the same email you signed in with there.
Run /roll in the play channel and choose an attribute when the picker offers it. The bot rolls a d20, adds the relevant modifier, and posts the result for the whole table.
Skim the result. The number itself doesn't matter yet; the point is to see how rolls look in the channel and to confirm the bot has your sheet.
Sign in to the Wyrdli web app with the same email you used on Discord. The web view of your Character has the full description, the artwork, and the relationships the GM has linked you into. It's worth a glance before the first session.
Create and edit a Character covers the full sheet, including advancement choices and portrait artwork.
Discord commands is the reference for every slash command, in case you forget one mid-session.
