Campaign Management for Game Masters

The world moves forward —
with or without the heroes.

The only campaign manager built for sandbox TTRPGs. Advance the in-world clock and your plots, factions, and consequences move with it — while an in-world newspaper keeps players immersed between sessions, not just at the table.

Free to start · No credit card required · System-agnostic

Every campaign gets its own Gazette — a public, shareable link your players read with no account at all.

Sound familiar?

You love running the world. You're drowning in keeping track of it.

I have 12 plotlines and can't keep track of what happens when.
The fixPut every plot on configurable advancement rules with milestones and cascading consequences. Advance the clock once, and each thread moves the amount you decided — no manual bookkeeping per storyline.
My world feels static — things only happen when I remember to make them happen.
The fixWhen you advance the in-world clock, threats escalate, factions progress, expired hooks resolve, and queued consequences fire. The world reacts even when the party wanders off.
My players forget what happened and don't engage between sessions.
The fixThe Gazette and weekly world digests keep the story alive between games. Players stay in the world all week — then arrive already caught up.
The living world

One action. The whole world takes a step.

Most campaign tools are static binders — nothing changes unless you change it by hand. Kobold Kronikler is built the other way around. You decide how much in-world time has passed — a few hours, a few days — and a single advance cascades through everything you've set in motion. Time moves only when you move it. There is no real-world clock, no background ticking, no schedule running behind your back. You are always the one holding the hourglass.

You do this

Advance the in-world clock

Move the campaign date forward by hours or days, on your own schedule, whenever the story calls for it.

Then, automatically

Plots & factions progress

Each plot advances by its own rule. Milestones fire. Factions move their agendas forward by the amount of time that passed.

Then, automatically

Hooks resolve & consequences execute

Expired hooks resolve. Scheduled consequences run — revealing hidden entities, spawning world events, advancing other clocks in turn.

Always for your eyes first

A news draft waits for review

When consequences produce news, the Gazette gets an unpublished draft — yours to edit, approve, or discard. Nothing reaches your players until you say so.

You hold the hourglass. The automation only ever cascades from a clock advance you choose to make.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

A campaign brain for the whole living world.

Not a virtual tabletop — it sits happily alongside one. This is the tool that runs your world and keeps your table engaged between sessions.

i.

Living World & Time

A fully customizable in-world calendar and clock, a world-events timeline players can follow, and the advancement engine that ties it all together.

ii.

Story & Hook Trees

Plots with advancement rules and cascading consequences, plus a branching hook tree — your entire sandbox as one interactive diagram of prerequisites, thresholds, and triggers.

iii.

The World Builder

An interlinked wiki: lore, nested locations, pantheons, planes, factions, NPCs, languages, artefacts and maps — woven together by a force-directed relationship graph, backlinks, and a command palette.

iv.

The Gazette

A per-campaign in-world newspaper with in-world datelines and a public link that needs no login. The between-sessions hook that keeps players in your world.

v.

Player Portal

Every invited player gets an authenticated space: their character, the party, quests, recaps, notes, handouts, maps, and the player-safe view of your wiki.

vi.

Continuity Safety Net

An automated checker catches contradictions before your players do. Rule-based checks run on every tier; an optional AI semantic pass goes deeper on Premium.

Plus a bestiary with encounter run-mode, session planning & recaps, printable handouts, random tables & dice, co-GM collaboration, and player feedback & questions.

Built for the whole table

Most tools are GM-only. This one is for everyone.

Players who are invited get their own portal — so the campaign lives for them between sessions too. A great player experience is how word of mouth starts: every campaign can bring a tableful of new people into the world.

Home — the hub, with today's in-world date
The Gazette — read the latest in-world news
World — only what they're allowed to know
Recaps — catch up before the next game
My Character — profile and inventory
Party — the full roster
Quests & Handouts — objectives and lore
Maps & Notes — explore and record
TruthLayer · audience-aware lore

One entry. Three truths.

The GM sees
The Margrave is funding the Ashen Pact in secret.
The players see
The Margrave is a stern but lawful ruler.
The public Gazette prints
“A generous patron of the city watch.”

Author per-audience versions of the same lore with their own canon states. Secrets stay secret, misinformation can be seeded on purpose, and canon evolves as the story does.

An honest tool, made by hand

No corporation. No venture capital. No selling out.

I'm Kelly, and I build Kobold Kronikler on my own. There's no company behind me demanding ever-increasing profits, no investors waiting for a flip. I have a full-time job elsewhere, which means this project gets to do something rare: prioritize serving the people who use it over chasing growth.

That's a deliberate choice, and it shapes everything — from a free tier that genuinely runs a complete campaign forever, to a promise that I'll never coerce you into upgrading. Subscriptions through features, not through coercion.

Built to last, and built honestly — by one GM who got tired of watching the tools we love get sold off and squeezed.

— Kelly

Where AI fits — and where it doesn't

Opt-inAI is off by default and only ever runs if you switch it on — always opt-in, never assumed. It only adds optional assists on top; no core feature is ever locked behind it, so the whole app works without AI.
Only yoursIf you do turn it on, AI only rephrases and organizes content you've written. It never invents your world from scratch.
Not a DMThis is not an “AI dungeon master” or an “AI worldbuilder.” It's an optional tool that polishes and structures what you make — nothing more.
Human-madeEvery product decision here is made by a person. AI helped build it; AI is not “the developer.”
Subscriptions through features, not coercion

Run a complete campaign for free, forever.

No credit card. Paid tiers add scale, customization, and the optional AI suite when you want them — never to unlock the basics. Accessibility options are always free, on every tier.

Paid tiers aren't live yet — you're in our early phase

Kobold Kronikler is still in its early phase. The paid tiers below show where the tool is heading, but they're not available to purchase yet — every new account is created on the free Scribe tier.

Already using Kobold Kronikler? While we finish building the paid plans, you can request a temporary upgrade to try the higher-tier features for free during this early phase — just get in touch.
