You will need
Prepare these before following the guide.
- A campaign workspace.
- At least a few recurring NPCs, locations, factions, or items.
Tutorials
Build your campaign
Manage NPCs, places, and factions in TableKinn.
Entities stay useful when they are easy to scan, tied to the campaign record, and updated from play instead of inflated with unused lore.
Expected outcome
What you should have by the end.
A cleaner campaign entity set that supports prep, search, and live recall.
Steps
Follow the workflow in order.
1
Use short summaries first
Write the one-sentence version before adding history, appearance, secrets, or media.
2
Add table-relevant details
Prioritize what the players can encounter, remember, change, or use.
3
Tag for retrieval
Use tags and references for the ways you actually search during prep.
4
Connect relationships
Link factions to places, NPCs to factions, and clues to sessions when those relationships matter.
5
Update after play
Let session reports change the entity record instead of keeping a static lore snapshot.
Troubleshooting
If the workflow feels off.
Every entity feels important
Mark the entities that are likely to appear next and keep the rest short until play makes them matter.
The world is hard to search
Add consistent tags for location, faction, status, and story role.
