The campaign manager on World Anvil includes a digital storyteller screen (as well as other campaign preparation tools) and a character manager, which includes character sheets, profiles, and even a social media network for your characters in World Anvil. This guide is a quick explanation of the layout of this entire side of World Anvil to get you started! For more information on a specific feature, take a look at its specific guide.
Accessing the Campaign Manager
From the World Anvil Dashboard (click the World Anvil logo at the top left), you can access both your campaigns and your characters. Simply activate whichever you want to access to go to the campaign or character manager.
A quick look to...
Characters
Characters can be used in RPGs, but they don't necessarily have to be! Their profiles are completely system-agnostic and they can even be used to bring to life the characters from a novel or any other work of fiction. Characters can post to the global stream, update their journal, upload pictures or art, and be part of a world.
Check out the
Guide to Character Creation for more information-
Campaigns
If you click on a campaign it will be selected as your active one, which means that any settings that you change will affect that campaign. You can see the currently active campaign on top of the sidebar (click on it to quickly switch between campaigns or access different parts of its settings).
The process of creating a campaign is explained in the
Guide to campaign creation.
You can also check out the
Guide to Sheets for information on how to create and use statblocks.
Can you add information on how to access Heroes please?
Hi! I wrote for the Guild release, when Heroes and the main World Anvil site were still separate things. That's no longer the case, so this character will soon be merged with the Getting started guide. As for your question, it really depends on which feature of "Heroes" you want to access. Basically, go to your World Anvil global dashboard (https://www.worldanvil.com/dashboard/) and use the left sidebar to navigate between the different parts of the site. New features introduced with this update can be found in Characters and Campaigns.
Understood. Thanks for the clarification.
