Maps, boards & dice on a page

Most wiki pages are prose. Three of them aren’t, and it catches people by surprise.

A page can be a map

Section titled “A page can be a map”
  1. Open the + menu at the bottom of the page tree.
  2. Choose New Map.
  3. Give it a name, a description and a base image.

You get a page in the tree — with a map icon instead of a document icon — that opens the full map editor inside the wiki. Regions, paths, labels, pins and layers all work exactly as they do in the Atlas; this is the same map surface, just reachable from the tree beside your notes. Use View Fullscreen on the cover strip when you want the whole screen for it.

A page can be a board

Section titled “A page can be a board”

New Board in the same menu creates a board and a page to hold it. The page embeds the live board canvas — nodes, edges, everything — so a relationship web or a faction chart sits in your wiki rather than off in a separate place. New board pages are tagged Board so they’re easy to filter for later. Fullscreen works here too.

See Boards for what you can build on one.

Drag a page onto a map

Section titled “Drag a page onto a map”

Hover a page in the tree and a small grip appears on the right — Drag to map. Pick it up, drop it anywhere on an open map, and the page becomes a pin at that spot.

It’s the quickest way to place a settlement you’ve just written: write the page first, then drop it where it belongs.

Dice notation rolls itself

Section titled “Dice notation rolls itself”

Type dice notation anywhere in a page — 2d6, d20+3, 1d8-1 — and it turns into a clickable roll. Click it and the 3D roller throws the dice for real; the result goes to your room like any other roll.

Nothing to insert and no special block. It just recognises the shape of the notation as you write, which means a stat block that says “Claws 2d6+3” is playable from the page.

See Rolling dice for what the roller can do.
