Campaign

To create a campaign, first navigate to the plus symbol at the bottom left of the app or the Create A Campaign button on the homepage, which will add a new Untitled Campaign to your campaign list.

You will then have access to Campaign Owner options and be assumed to be the GM. If this is not the case then you will need to transfer ownership. See below (Duplication and Ownership).

Name and Artwork

You can rename the campaign by clicking on the title (up to 50 characters). You can replace the logo of the campaign by clicking on the logo and selecting a file to upload. A square image is best.

You can replace the cover by moving your mouse to the cover area. Two buttons will appear, Change Cover and Reposition. You can upload images and move them as needed.

Campaign Settings

To access the Campaign Settings, you can either click the drop down menu under the logo in the top right, clicking "Custom system" button under the campaign name, or the ellipsis towards the center and selecting Campaign Settings.

From here, you can search for a TTRPG system in the drop down menu. This is important to for your Assistant to be set to a system to be able to use and cite the correct references with respect to the campaign.

You can also turn Session Stories on or off, toggle Ambient Canvas and decide to Delete the campaign.

Setting a Template for your Campaign

In Campaign, navigate to the Campaign Settings. There is an option to set a Character Sheet Template. Clicking this gives you a menu where you can find Templates you are an author of, Quest Portal’s Featured templates or any shared with you that correspond with the game system you choose.

Once a Character Sheet Template has been selected, any new character sheets made from within this campaign will use the template chosen to create editable character sheets - for both players and the GM.

Invite Players

Please note that the current limit for sessions is 16 people, including the GM. Invite players with the Invite Players button, located to the bottom right of the cover, in the character sheet section in the center of the landing page or by clicking the ellipsis.

When you click Invite Players you will be presented with two options:

  • A link to copy and paste to your players.

  • If you know the player's Quest Portal account name, you can send them an invite from within the app.

Accepting an invite from within Quest Portal

Your notification bell (top right next to your account avatar) will indicate there is something to be alerted about by displaying a red circle. By clicking the bell, you'll be able to see who sent you the invite, the campaign name and an option to accept or decline the invite.

Removing a Character or Player

From the landing page, to remove a player use the ellipsis on their character card and select the Remove Character or Remove Player option depending. You will be asked if you are sure.

From within the session, go to their character sheet, click on the ellipsis. You will be presented with the Remove Character and Remove Player options. you will be asked if you are sure.

We highly recommend that if you find yourself in the position where you need to remove a player, that you reset the invite link to the game to prevent them from rejoining. Go to Invite Players button on the campaign's landing page, and then use the Reset Link button.

Leaving a Campaign as a player

You can leave a campaign in one of two ways:

  • from the landing page, click the ellipsis and then Leave Campaign.

  • from your character sheet (either in the session or on the landing page).

Duplication and Transferring

If you find yourself in a circumstance where you want to create a copy of your campaign - you would run the same game for multiple groups or you set up a module you want to share - then you can do this by going into the ellipsis on the session landing page. Click the Duplicate Campaign.

Transferring

In order to transfer ownership of a campaign you must have the person you wish to transfer it to be in the campaign. To transfer, click the ellipsis on the campaign's landing page and click Transfer Campaign.

You will be asked to choose a player. The notification will then change to indicate the status of pending, and offers you the ability to revoke the invite.

For the potential new owner, this will appear as a notification that is accessible and acceptable (or declined) through their notification bell.

Please note, that private notes are not transferred currently.
