Sharing and collaboration

What players need an account for

3 min readUpdated 15 August 2026

Player accounts are free, and only the campaign owner ever pays. Nothing on the player side is behind a plan. Whatever your plan allows, your players get.

Reading needs no account at all

Anyone with the link can open your campaign wiki and read. No sign-in, no prompt.

  • Characters, NPCs, locations, factions, items, and your custom sections
  • Every page you have not hidden, including the full description and related entries
  • Session recaps you have made public
  • The Campaign Journal
  • Story So Far timelines
  • Interactive maps
  • The Campaign Graph

Send the link to a curious friend and they can browse the whole world without signing up.

Taking part needs a free account

An account is needed once somebody wants to act rather than read. They sign in with Google, which takes one tap and returns them to the page they were on.

After they claim a character and you approve it, that player can:

  • Edit their own character's description
  • Rename their character and change its portrait
  • Manage aliases, status, and tags on their page
  • Add, edit, and remove their own Story So Far events
  • Create and edit their character sheet
  • Open the immersive view of their character
  • Read any DM note you have shared with them

Everything in that list is limited to their own character. A player cannot edit your NPCs, your locations, or another player's page.

How claiming works

  1. The player opens the wiki and goes to their character's page.
  2. They choose Sign in to claim and sign in with Google.
  3. They choose This is my character.
  4. You get an email, and an approval card appears on that character in the World Builder.
  5. You choose Approve or Deny.

Until you approve, they see Awaiting owner approval and can change nothing.

You stay in control. Claiming can be turned off entirely in Owner settings, and you can remove a claim later.

Player uploads use your storage

When a player uploads a portrait, it counts against your image storage rather than theirs. If your allowance runs out they are asked to talk to you. See Check your image storage.

For the full claiming walkthrough, see Invite a player to claim a character.
