The Construct

Welcome to The Construct! This is a complete toolkit for tabletop RPG Game Masters. Here's how to use each section:

🔮 Prep Tab

Generate complete campaign outlines before your session:

• Select campaign type (one-shot, mini, or full campaign)
• Choose your setting and tone
• Add any special requests
• Click "Forge Campaign" to generate
• Copy, export to PDF, or save to your library

🎲 Play Tab

Everything you need during active sessions:

• Dice Roller: Click any die to roll. Use custom rolls like "3d6+2" for complex checks
• Initiative Tracker: Add combatants with name, initiative, and HP. Click "Next Turn" to cycle through combat
• Session Notes: Take timestamped notes during play. Use the toolbar buttons to tag NPCs, locations, plot points, and combat

📋 Manage Tab

Track your campaign between sessions:

• NPCs: Store all your non-player characters
• Locations: Build your world map
• Factions: Track organizations and their goals
• Plot Threads: Never lose a story hook
• Timeline: Chronicle major campaign events

🛠️ Tools Tab

Quick generators for on-the-fly content:

• Generate NPCs, names, encounters, quests, treasure, and locations instantly
• Perfect for when players go off-script
• Use Copy, Clear, and Generate Another buttons for quick workflow

The floating ⚡ button (bottom-right corner) gives you instant access to random generators when you need them most.

Keyboard Shortcut: Press Shift + Space to open the Panic Menu

Use it when:

• Players go completely off-script
• You need a random NPC name RIGHT NOW
• Unexpected combat breaks out
• Players find loot you didn't prepare
• You need a quick plot twist

To keep the service free and fast for everyone, there are daily generation limits:

• 25 generations per hour
• 50 generations per day

Your current usage is shown in the counter (top-right). Limits reset automatically at midnight UTC.

Pro tip: Use Copy/Export to save your generations, then iterate on them locally!

• Shift + Space — Open Panic Menu (quick generators)
• Escape — Close any open menu or overlay

Pro Tips:

• Everything auto-saves to your browser
• Use Dark/Light mode toggle in the navigation
• Session notes work best with timestamps
• Generate campaigns before your session, then use Play tab during the game
• Export to PDF for offline access
