Great question! The app is game agnostic out of the box and supports any game in the mainstream. We do support Beam Saber out of the box today. If it is OK with you, I would love to learn more about your expectations of campaign organization since that is relative per GM? Would you be open to setting up 30min for a chat about it and possible user testing of the app features? 100% OK if you are uncomfortable with that.
I don't need 30 minutes, I use two Trello boards, one for me, one shared with players, the player one is factions and important names, the gm one is hooks (planned or spoken out loud)->session ideas->session notes, and a catch-all that is a list of names when I need one.
I also use azgaar's map generator. For the world map: https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/
And I occasionally feed all that into chatgpt to generate me some dialog better than I can manage. "Generate me a mission briefing for a mission where the squad needs to...". (I don't speak military well)
For a forged in the dark game, I'd love to see easy to use character and/or mission specific devil's bargain generators, and a way to store what I have, possibly in a better format.
Mostly, I feel like I'm a pretty blank slate.
Oh, interesting! I could definitely see a feature like a Trello board being useful in Nurl for GMs? We already have the other stuff which means the app could "automagically" connect everything for you to create a seamless game session experience. I really appreciate and value that insight and will add it to our backlog.
If you are interested, check out our Group Chat Features which I feel like are relative to this convo. Our Notes Features might also be interesting to you?
