Keep important moments together
Record a decision, discovery, conflict, bargain or consequence with the context that matters. Titles, participants, places and descriptions help you return to it later.
Keep the history ready for the next session
Campaign Timeline
Visualizer
Record the moments that changed your campaign, connect the events and read the session metrics that help you prepare what comes next.
Event lanes, linked history and session metricsWindows access through Desktop Command Centre
Keep the campaign in view
Remember what happened and what it changed.
A useful history brings entered events, their connections and your session assessments together while leaving interpretation with your table.
Connect one event to another
Link an event to what it follows from and see those relationships as arrows. Use named lanes to distinguish party, faction, world or other threads you choose.
Read your assessment across sessions
Record metric values after a game and compare their movement on the chart. Authority, pressure and other measures help you revisit the changes you decided to track.
Bring the history into next-session prep
Review unresolved threads, earlier decisions and the notes behind a shift. The record helps you prepare callbacks without deciding what the players must do next.
Events with connections
Give earlier moments a place in the next session.
Keep event descriptions, lanes and links together. Review open threads alongside the campaign’s entered history.
The diagram draws the records you enter. You decide what the connections mean and what deserves attention next.
A practical history workflow
Record the session. Connect the events. Review the view.
Start or open a local campaign, choose useful measures and keep the record current after each game.
01 · Name the campaign and choose metrics
Enable offered measures or add custom metrics with your own names. Authority, Pressure and Reputation begin enabled; choose what makes sense for your table.
02 · Record session values
Set values from zero to 100 and add an optional session title and note. Edit or remove earlier session entries when you need to correct the record.
03 · Add and connect events
Give an event a title, choose a lane, category and status, then add dates and other context when useful. Select the events it follows from to draw dependency arrows.
04 · Review, reopen and back up
Read continuity notes, narrow the view with filters and reopen useful local work through Saved. Keep exported JSON alongside any custom metric definitions you need to reconstruct the display.
What the tool provides
The event record and the measures behind it.
Use two related views of the same campaign: entered events in lanes and your metric values across numbered sessions.
Session metrics you choose
Track Authority, Pressure, Reputation and other offered measures, or add custom metrics. Set entered values from zero to 100 after each session and add a title or note.
A readable momentum chart
Compare enabled metric lines across ordered sessions. Use the legend to hide or show a line and hover a session to read its values. The numbers express your assessment of the campaign.
Events with useful context
Record a title, lane, category, status, session, campaign and real dates, description, participants, location and faction. Use the fields that help you understand the event later.
Named lanes and dependency arrows
Place events in named lanes and link an event to what it follows from. Open threads use outlined diamonds; resolved and abandoned events use filled circles.
Whole chronology continuity notes
Review missing links, duplicate identifiers, untitled events, self-links and dependency loops across the whole stored chronology. The report does not repair records automatically.
Filters and visual spacing
Search event text or filter lane, category and status. Spacing and Fit adjust the lane view. Filters narrow what is drawn while keeping the stored record and continuity check intact.
Local campaigns to reopen
The open campaign attempts to save automatically on this computer. Reopen or delete local campaigns through Saved. Keep exported data and verify useful work by reopening it.
JSON data and event SVG exports
Import, copy, download or edit session and event JSON. Export the filtered lane view as SVG or print the Events view. Review the visible material before sharing.
Two ways to read the campaign
Follow event threads and compare entered values.
Choose the view that answers your preparation question, then review the underlying records before drawing conclusions.
Timeline: your session assessments
Compare enabled metric lines across session numbers. Use the legend to show or hide measures and hover a session to read its values. The chart does not infer a score from event descriptions.
Events: a connected chronology
Use named lanes and categories to arrange the record. Outlined diamonds mark open or in-progress threads; filled circles mark resolved or abandoned events. Select an event to edit it.
Filters: a focused reading view
Search event text or select lane, category and status. Hidden events stay stored. An arrow is drawn only when both ends are visible, so a filtered view can omit some connections.
Order and spacing: a readable sequence
Session number leads event order, followed by stored order, real date and title. Campaign dates remain text. Spacing and Fit adjust the diagram; positions show order, not proportional elapsed time.
History and open threads
Read the past before preparing the next step.
Review events, their connections and unresolved threads alongside your session measures.
The artwork illustrates campaign history. It is not an application screen or generated picture.
Revisit and correct the record
Update what you recorded while keeping context visible.
Make changes deliberately and retain useful exports before replacing or removing material.
Revise session titles, notes and values
Edit a recorded session or remove it from the list. The chart redraws from the remaining values. Review imported values, especially when a newly enabled metric has no value in an older session.
Correct event details and links
Edit the event’s fields and selected dependencies. Deleting an event also removes links that pointed to it. A dependency link records your chosen relationship rather than proving story causation.
Read continuity notes across all events
The check uses the whole stored chronology, even when a filter narrows the view. It reports missing links, duplicate identifiers, untitled records, self-links and loops; it does not repair records automatically.
Reopen work on this computer
Local campaigns can be reopened or deleted through Saved. The open record attempts to save automatically as you work. Verify important changes by reopening and keep exports; there is no prior-version library.
Clear data and sharing boundaries
Choose the visible view and keep a useful backup.
Understand what imports replace, what exports contain and which material needs review before sharing.
Imports replace supplied collections
Import a current session-and-event object, a sessions array or an events-only file. A supplied collection replaces that part of the open campaign; an omitted collection is retained. Review imported values and links before using the result.
JSON carries sessions and events
Copy or download all stored session and event arrays. Export omits campaign identity, enabled display settings and custom metric definitions, so it is not a full local-library backup. Keep those display details separately when needed.
SVG captures the visible event diagram
Export SVG uses the filtered lane view, including its visible links. To include the whole event view, clear filters before exporting. Print uses the Events view; review the result and page width before sharing.
Review private material yourself
There is no separate player view. The tool has no direct Combat PRO scene handoff. Read descriptions and notes before sharing. It does not provide cloud sync, automatic session capture or a live encounter connection; other products require separate access.

Quick answers
Events, measures and access in plain language.
Understand the record, exports and local saving before opening the tool.
Does it write events or calculate campaign momentum for me?
You enter events and metric values. The tool draws the history and values you record; it does not transcribe sessions, infer consequences, predict a story or decide what happens next. Metric values are your chosen assessments.
How are events and dates ordered?
Events are ordered by session number, then stored order, real date and title. Events without a session sort after numbered ones. Campaign dates are text for reference. Diagram spacing follows event order, not proportional elapsed time or a custom calendar.
What does the continuity report check?
It checks the whole stored chronology for missing links, duplicate identifiers, untitled events, self-links and dependency loops, with warnings for unknown categories or statuses. It reports problems rather than changing them. It does not establish story truth or repair every chronological inconsistency.
Where are my campaigns saved, and what does JSON include?
Campaigns are saved on this computer; the tool does not provide cloud sync or a prior-version library. JSON export contains session and event arrays. It omits campaign identity and custom metric definitions, so it is not a full local-library backup. Verify saved work by reopening it and keep useful exports.
Can I export just a visible part of the history?
SVG export captures the currently drawn event lane diagram, including active filters. Arrows appear only when both linked events are visible. To include the complete event view, clear filters before exporting. JSON includes all stored sessions and events. There is no separate player view; review everything you share.
