Core feature

Tags

Use tags to label characters, locations, factions, and notes. Tags power flexible filtering and discovery across your content.

Tags nest, so a capital can live under location without repeating yourself.

Flexible Categorization

Add multiple tags to any item. Create thematic groups that cut across collections and maps.

  • Stack tags (e.g., "villain", "noble", "season-2")
  • Filter maps and search by tag
  • Reuse tag sets across related workflows

Cross-Collection Views

Tags enable views like "all capitals," "chapter-3 cast," or "ancient artifacts," regardless of where items live.

  • Save a search or share a filtered view
  • Combine with relationship-type filters
  • Great for continuity tracking

Tag Conventions

Agree the names before the map fills up, so a tag means the same thing in chapter one and chapter nine, and to everyone at the table.

  • Use prefixes like "arc:" or "season:"
  • Keep case consistent (lowercase recommended)
  • Document shared tag meanings

Common workflows

Casting call

Tag major and minor characters by appearance or chapter to build quick pull lists.

  • "chapter-5" + "npc"
  • "season-2" + "antagonist"
  • Save the search for next session

World elements

Mark locations as "capital", "ruins", or "holy-site" to power travel planning and lore checks.

  • Multi-tag locations by theme
  • Filter maps to focus exploration
  • Cross-reference with factions

When a label is not enough: fields

A tag says a character is nobility. A field says which house, which title, and the year they were granted it. Define the fields your world needs and they become searchable, filterable, and chartable.

  • Typed fields on entities, tags, and events
  • Search for everything holding a field, or holding one answer
  • Color a map by the value of a field to see the pattern
  • Promote a field you keep retyping into a proper definition

Tips

  • Create a short list of standard tags before a campaign begins.
  • Use tags to fill gaps in search (e.g., "plot-hook").
  • Between arcs, review your tags and merge the duplicates that crept in.
