Chronicler documentation
One connected home for the worlds you build and the games you run. These guides show how the pieces fit, and how to drive them from the API.
The docs split into two halves. The first half walks a world author through the product: resources, relationships, chronology, and campaigns. The second half is for developers who build on the Chronicler API.
Open core, hosted power
The Chronicler core is source-available, so you can self-host it. Chronicler hosted runs it for you and adds features only the hosted version carries. These guides call out which is which.
The pillars
Every part of a world is aware of the others. These are the pieces you will meet first.
Resources & kinds
The entities a world is made of.
Relationships
Typed links between resources.
Chronology
Eras, events, and timelines.
Campaigns & reveals
Play at the table, reveal on cue.
How to read these docs
Start with the Quickstart to create your first world and add a handful of resources. From there, follow the guides in the sidebar in any order. Each concept page stands on its own.
- World authors want the "Building a world" group.
- Developers want the "Developers" group: auth, IDs, pagination, and includes.
