If you’re reading this missive, dear writer, you have been chosen to take up the mantle—your quest is to slay the mythical beast known across the realms as The Blank Page. Are you up for an adventure?
The Manuscript Module doubles as a portal to the secondary worlds you’ve dreamt up on Campfire. Journey to a tailored writing space with features like Focus Mode and custom project themes.
Create immersive maps for every corner of the continent in the Maps Module, from the village inn to entire countries. Leave no path unexplored with custom pins, zones, measuring tools, and more.
Use the Magic Module and accompanying guidebook to channel your supernatural inspirations, from spellbound mages and magical mechanics to plot-twisting costs of magic.
The Characters Module comes loaded with more than 100 character attribute traits fit for making heroes (or antiheroes) whose names the bards will sing about in every tavern across the land.
Cultures
Build detailed communities with unique traditions and expressive customs in the Cultures Module.
Species
From magical plants to fabled creatures, track the flora and fauna of your world in the Species Module.
Languages
Add symbols for sounds, dictate rules for speaking, and create a dictionary from scratch in the Languages Module.
Religions
Keep a detailed record of myths, deities, sacred texts, and powerful beliefs in the Religions Module.
Use the Timeline Module’s adaptable canvas to plot your story’s timeline from the Chosen One’s birth to the King’s Untimely Death. Plan your tangled web of events from the highest level to the tiniest detail.
Keep the wheel of time turning smoothly with a custom calendar for your setting in the Calendar Module. Track custom eras, months, weeks, moons, and seasonal periods. Most importantly, never forget a character’s birthday!
Create articles about anything from fantasy foods and fashions to arcane technologies and historical accounts with the Encyclopedia Module. Its uses are limitless with tools like article summaries, images, and stats tables.
Campfire is made up of modules designed to help you plan, plot, and publish everything from your novel and character sheets to story outlines and interactive maps.
