Getting Started
What Lorelog is, who it is for, and where it fits.
What is Lorelog for?Lorelog is for keeping tabletop campaigns readable over time. It gives you separate spaces for campaign overview details, session logs, characters and NPCs, notes, images, and a campaign timeline so you can find the right context quickly.
Who should use Lorelog?Lorelog is useful for Dungeon Masters, Game Masters, players, solo roleplayers, and worldbuilders. DMs can use it for prep, continuity, NPC tracking, and recaps. Players can use it as a personal campaign notebook for clues, allies, quests, theories, and downtime plans.
Is Lorelog only for Dungeons & Dragons?No. Lorelog is system-flexible. It works for fantasy adventures, mystery investigations, sci-fi campaigns, horror games, political sandboxes, West Marches tables, streamed games, solo play, and homebrew settings.
What does Lorelog replace, and what does it not replace?Lorelog can replace scattered campaign documents, loose recap notes, NPC spreadsheets, and disconnected lore folders. It is not a virtual tabletop, dice roller, rules compendium, battle map tool, or character sheet manager. It is focused on campaign memory, prep, notes, and continuity.
Do I need to install anything?No. Lorelog runs in the browser. Sign in or create an account, then create your first campaign workspace.
Can I bring in notes I already have?Yes, by copying your existing material into campaign notes, session logs, and character entries. Lorelog does not currently provide a bulk import tool, but it works well for gradually moving important notes out of long documents as they become relevant.
For Dungeon Masters
How Lorelog helps prep, run, and remember sessions.
How does Lorelog help a DM prepare for a session?Start with the campaign overview, review the last session, update the NPCs and notes likely to matter next, then use the timeline to see what changed. The goal is to make the next useful piece of context easy to find without forcing you to over-prep.
Can I use Lorelog during a live game?Yes. Session logs and notes are designed to be simple to open and edit during play. You can capture rough notes at the table, then clean them up later without losing the original thread.
Can I organize NPCs, factions, and places?Yes. Character records can include names, locations, descriptions, background, portraits, and organization affiliations. Notes and timeline fields can use tags and filters for factions, clues, places, themes, and recurring campaign threads.
What does the campaign timeline do?The timeline turns campaign history into a scannable sequence. It is useful for session recaps, remembering when clues appeared, seeing which characters were involved, and bringing old consequences back when they matter again.
Can Lorelog help with mysteries and clue-heavy campaigns?Yes. Use notes for clues, suspects, locations, and revelations, then connect important pieces to the timeline. This helps you see what the players have actually encountered rather than only what exists in your prep.
Can I add images, portraits, or visual references?Yes. Lorelog supports campaign images such as character portraits, timeline images, and note images depending on your plan. Images are useful for NPC recognition, locations, artifacts, handouts, and recap moments.
For Players
How players can use Lorelog without running the game.
Can players use Lorelog, or is it only for DMs?Players can absolutely use Lorelog. A player workspace can track session recaps, NPCs, factions, personal goals, clues, theories, items, locations, and unanswered questions from the character's point of view.
What should a player track in Lorelog?Good player notes include who the party met, what promises were made, which clues still matter, where the party has been, what your character wants next, and any questions you want to ask the DM or other players.
Is Lorelog still useful if my DM already keeps notes?Yes. DM notes and player notes serve different purposes. A DM tracks the whole world and hidden context; a player tracks what the party knows, suspects, remembers, and cares about. Lorelog works well as a personal campaign memory even when the DM has their own prep system.
Can my whole table edit the same campaign together?Lorelog is currently built around account-based workspaces rather than live multi-user campaign editing. It is best for personal DM prep, player notes, solo logs, and campaign records you manage from your own account.
Can I use Lorelog for character backstory and downtime?Yes. Players can create notes for backstory details, relationships, vows, debts, downtime goals, faction ties, and character questions. Keeping these beside session history makes it easier to bring personal threads back into play.
