Campaign Management
Create and manage D&D campaigns in the Scrollbook web app
Campaigns are the core unit of organization in Scrollbook. Each campaign has its own setting, roster of players and characters, session history, and AI context.
Creating a Campaign
- Log in to scrollbook.app and go to the Dashboard
- Click New Campaign in the top right
- Fill in the details:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Your campaign name (e.g., "Curse of Strahd") |
| Description | A short summary of the setting and tone |
| Era | The time period — affects available equipment, tone, and world flavor |
| Discord Server | The guild this campaign is tied to |
- Click Create Campaign
Cipher is automatically configured for your campaign's era and setting once it's created.
Campaign Settings
Access settings from the campaign page by clicking the gear icon.
General
- Name & Description — Edit the campaign's title and summary at any time
- Era — Change the time period (affects Cipher's narration style)
- Status — Set to Active, Paused, or Archived
Players & Roles
- Invite players — Share the invite link or send a Discord invite
- Set DM — Assign or transfer DM privileges
- Remove players — Remove a player and optionally their characters
Cipher Context
- Campaign context — Custom instructions Cipher uses when narrating your sessions
- House rules — Rules that differ from standard D&D 5e (Cipher will apply them)
- Tone — Gritty realism vs. high fantasy vs. comedy — shapes how Cipher narrates
Managing Multiple Campaigns
Your available number of simultaneous campaigns depends on your subscription tier:
| Tier | Campaigns |
|---|---|
| Free Adventurer | 1 |
| Single Campaign | 1 |
| Multi-Campaign | Up to 5 |
| Unlimited Guild | Unlimited per server |
To switch between campaigns, use the campaign selector dropdown at the top of the Dashboard.
Session History
Each campaign maintains a full session log:
- Transcript — Every message exchanged during the session
- Summary — AI-generated recap of key events, NPCs, and loot
- Attendance — Which players and characters participated
- AI hours used — How much of your monthly allowance the session consumed
Access session history from the campaign page under the Sessions tab.
Archiving & Deleting Campaigns
Archive a campaign when the story is complete but you want to keep the history:
- Campaign becomes read-only
- Session history and characters are preserved
- Does not count against your active campaign limit
Delete a campaign only if you want to permanently remove all data:
- This cannot be undone
- All sessions, characters, and context are deleted
To archive or delete, go to Campaign Settings > General > scroll to the bottom.
