Your homebrew world, remembered.

A living campaign generates more lore than any DM can hold — NPCs, factions, debts, secrets, a timeline that shifts every session. Creader keeps it as structured, searchable memory, so the world you improvised three months ago still holds tonight.

What breaks today

The lore outgrows your notes
Forty NPCs, six factions, a map of grudges and alliances, and a timeline the players keep bending. Notes apps hold text but can't tell you that the duke you just killed off was owed a favour by the cult three sessions back.
Who knows what?
The hardest thing to track at the table is information: what the party has actually learned versus what you know. Reveal a secret a session too early and a mystery collapses — and improvising live, it's easy to do.
Consistency across improvisation
Half of what happens at the table is invented on the spot. By session twenty those improvisations are canon, and contradicting them quietly tells your players the world isn't real.

How Creader helps

A knowledge base for the whole world
NPCs, locations, factions, items, and events as connected entities — not a wall of text. The relationship canvas shows the web of alliances and debts at a glance, so a thread you planted months ago is still visible.
Track what the party knows
A knowledge ledger separates what you know from what the players have learned, so you never reveal a secret before its time — the single most useful thing a GM tool can do.
Retrieval at the speed of the table
Ask the world a question mid-session and get the answer from your own canon — the NPC's last appearance, the faction's standing, the timeline of the war — fast enough to keep the game moving.
A player asks the name of the innkeeper from session four. You search your world, get the name, her sister's debt to the thieves' guild, and the rumour she's still sitting on — and the table never feels you reach for it.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Is Creader only for novels?
No. The worldbook content type is built for exactly this — a structured world without a linear manuscript. NPCs, factions, locations, and a timeline as connected entities, which is what a campaign is made of.
Can it track what my players know versus what I know?
Yes — the knowledge ledger is designed for it. Separating GM-knowledge from party-knowledge is the thing notes apps can't do, and it's what keeps a mystery from collapsing because you revealed a fact a session early.
How fast is it to look something up mid-game?
Fast enough for the table. Retrieval runs against your own canon, so you get the NPC, the faction standing, or the event you need without breaking the flow of the session.
