To get started with your first character:

1. Login or Continue as Guest: Create a cloud account for full features, or use Guest Mode to save characters to your browser only.
2. Fill in your character's name at the top of the sheet
3. Set your Trait values
4. Hopefully you can avoid Tribulations along the way
5. Use the tabs to fill in Talents, Items, Powers, and any Notes
6. Save your sheet using the floating dock (bottom-left corner)
7. Optional: Upload a character portrait (cloud accounts only) by clicking the portrait area

Tip: Once you've created an account and Saved to the Cloud, you can access your characters from any device, upload portraits, and join campaigns!

Access all save/load options from the floating dock in the bottom-left corner:

• Browser Save: Saves your sheet to your browser's local storage. This sheet will only be accessible on this device, and will be lost if you clear browser data.
• Cloud Save: Saves to your account to our cloud servers, allowing you to access your characters from any device. Required for portraits and campaigns.
• Sheet Selector: A dropdown menu showing all your saved sheets, grouped by location (Browser, Cloud, or Campaign). Sheets currently in use for a campaign are marked with an indicator.
• Load: Loads the selected sheet from the dropdown.
• Download: Exports your character as a .txt backup file. We advise you do this regularly, such as after each session!
• Upload: Can be used to import a previously downloaded .txt file. This will not erase any currently opened sheet which has already been saved.
• Clear: Wipes the form without deleting saved sheets, intended for use when creating a new character.
• Delete: Permanently removes the selected sheet from Browser, Cloud, or both.

Save Conflict Handling: If a sheet exists in both Browser and Cloud with the same name, you'll be prompted to choose which version to keep. You can also upgrade browser-only sheets to cloud saves or create offline copies of cloud sheets.

Important: We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Download backups regularly!

Cloud accounts unlock full functionality:

• Sign Up: Create an account with your email and a password. This is required for cloud saves, portraits, and campaigns.
• Login: Sign in to access your cloud-saved characters.
• Guest Mode: Use the app without an account. Guests can only save to browser storage and cannot join campaigns or upload portraits.
• After Login: Wait 1-2 seconds for your sheets to load. The Cloud Save button will then become active.

Cloud-Only Features:

• Access sheets from any device
• Upload character portraits
• Join or create campaigns
• Share rolls with your party

Upgrade Path: Guests can create an account later and upgrade their browser-saved sheets to cloud saves.

Important: All user accounts are randomized on our end. Your login credentials cannot be recovered if forgotten. Please write them down somewhere safe!

Click the dice button (bottom-right) to open the Dice Tray:

• Select Trait: Choose a trait from your character sheet to roll an equal number of d6s.
• Modifier: Add or subtract dice from your pool.
• Dice Formula: Or enter a custom formula like "3d6+2" or "2d8".
• Count 5s: Enable this option to count both 5s and 6s as successes. Other options may be made available down the line.
• Roll Visibility: When in a Campaign, you can choose to make either a Public Roll (visible to all players) or a Private Roll (for the GM's eyes only).

Results show each die rolled, with 6s (and 5s if enabled) highlighted as successes.

Campaign Roll Log: When in a campaign, all dice rolls are logged and visible to the GM and other players. Roll notifications pop up when someone in your campaign rolls, and multiple notifications stack nicely. Your character name appears alongside your rolls in the campaign log.

Campaigns let you play with others in real-time. Access the Campaign Dashboard from the main navigation tabs.

Combat Flow:

• Visual Indicators: Current turn is highlighted, combat status shows "In Combat" or "Out of Combat".
• Turn Animations: Smooth animations when the turn changes.

Roll Sharing: Dice rolls are automatically shared with your campaign. The Roll Log preserves all past rolls (Public and Private) for reference.
