Joining an organisation
You can join an organisation in two ways:
- Invite link — your GM or an organisation admin sends you a link. Click the link, sign in (or create an account), and you will be added to the organisation automatically.
- Added by an admin — an Owner or Admin adds you directly using your email address.
Once you are part of the organisation, a GM or admin can add you to a specific game table.
Joining a game table
After joining the organisation, a GM or organisation admin will add you to a game table as a Player. You will then be able to see the table's sessions, quests, and inventory.
You do not need to do anything to join a table — just wait for the GM to add you.
Your characters
Characters are your player-facing identities in LoreLedger. You can create characters, enrich them with details, and assign them to game tables.
Creating a character
- Click Characters in the sidebar.
- Click Create Character.
- Fill in a name, optional summary, and optional description.
- If you are on the Adventurer plan or above, you can also add race, class, level, pronouns, and a portrait URL.
- Click Create Character.
Assigning a character to a table
- Open your character's detail page.
- In Table Assignments, select a table from the dropdown and click Assign to Table.
- Your character will appear in the table's character list.
You can also unassign a character by clicking Unassign next to the table name.
Your GM can also assign your character from the table's detail page.
Plan limits
- Free: 1 basic character (name, summary, description only)
- Adventurer: Up to 5 characters with rich details (race, class, level, pronouns, portrait)
- GM and above: More characters with rich details
See Characters and Assignments for full details, or Billing and Plans for all plan limits.
Navigating content
Dashboard
Your dashboard shows all the organisations you belong to and recent activity. Click on an organisation to see its worlds, campaigns, and tables.
Hierarchy
Navigate through the hierarchy to find content:
Organisation > World > Campaign > Game Table
- Lore entries are found under a World (click Entries).
- Sessions, quests, and inventory are found under a Game Table.
Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs at the top of every page show where you are and let you jump back to any parent level.
Search
Press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac) to open the search bar, or use the search icon in the top bar. Search finds content across the entire organisation. You will only see results you have permission to view.
Reading lore entries
Lore entries are the shared knowledge of your world. Your GM creates them to describe characters, locations, factions, items, events, and other setting details.
Browsing entries
- Navigate to a world and click Entries.
- Browse the list or use the type and tag filters to narrow results.
- Click an entry to read its full detail.
Entry types
| Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Character | NPCs, important figures |
| Location | Towns, dungeons, regions |
| Faction | Guilds, nations, organisations |
| Item | Artefacts, magical objects |
| Event | Historical battles, discoveries |
| Note | Setting details, rules notes |
Relationships
Entries can be linked to each other. On an entry's detail page, scroll down to see its Relationships — for example, a character who is a "Member of" a faction, or a location that is "Part of" a region.
What you might not see
Some entries may be hidden from you based on their visibility setting. If your GM has marked content as GM Only or Organisation Staff, it will not appear in your lists or search results. See Visibility and Spoilers for more detail.
Following sessions
Sessions capture what happens during each play session.
Viewing sessions
- Navigate to your game table and click Sessions.
- Browse the list or filter by status (Planned, Completed, Cancelled).
- Click a session to see its detail.
What you see on a session
- Title and session number
- Status — whether the session is planned, completed, or cancelled
- Dates — scheduled date and/or actual session date
- Player summary — a recap of what happened, written by your GM (supports Markdown formatting)
- Attendance — who was present, absent, or excused
- Linked entries — lore entries that were relevant to this session
What you do not see
- GM notes — these are private to the GM and organisation staff. You will never see them.
Tracking quests
Quests track the objectives and story threads your party is pursuing.
Viewing quests
- Navigate to your game table and click Quests.
- Browse the list or filter by status.
- Click a quest to see its detail.
Note: Quests default to GM Only visibility. You will only see quests your GM has made visible to you.
Quest statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Rumour | You have heard about this but have not engaged |
| Active | You are actively pursuing this quest |
| Stalled | Progress has paused |
| Resolved | The quest is complete |
| Failed | The quest was not completed |
Clues
Quests can have clues — pieces of information the party discovers. You will only see clues that have been revealed by the GM. Unrevealed clues are hidden.
Managing your inventory
Inventory tracks items owned by players or the party at your table.
Viewing inventory
- Navigate to your game table and click Inventory.
- Items are grouped by owner:
- Shared Stash — items that belong to the whole party (no specific owner).
- Your items — items assigned to you.
- Other players' items — items assigned to other table members.
Adding an item
- Click Add Item.
- Enter the item name, optional description, quantity, and category.
- Click Create.
You are automatically assigned as the owner of items you add.
Editing and deleting your items
- Click Edit on one of your items to update it.
- Click Delete to remove it.
You can only edit or delete items you own. The GM can edit or delete any item.
Your settings
Visit Settings (from the top-right menu) to:
- View your account information
- Set or change your display name (shown to other members)
- See which sign-in providers are linked to your account
- Link additional sign-in providers (Google, GitHub, Discord)
Leaving an organisation
If you want to leave an organisation:
- Go to the organisation's Members page.
- Click Leave Organisation.
- Confirm.
This removes you from the organisation and all its game tables. You will lose access to all content within it.
