Quick path: first playable run

From “I want to Play” to a trial run—generate a world, fill three required fields, then start.

6 min read · Matches the world setup workbench (Overview / Story / Play / Publish)

Five steps

Fig. 1 · Create → generate or blank world → finish the workbench → start adventure → play by turns.

1
Create · choose “I want to Play”
In Create, pick “I want to Play”. Your choices shape the journey.
2
Describe the world (or leave blank)
A short idea is enough. Primary action: “Generate world bible”. Empty input becomes “Create blank world”.
3
Open the world bible workbench
After generation, review Overview title and Setup progress, then check Story for setting and opening.
4
Hit the three hard requirements
Title, world setting, and at least one opening field (first scene / location / situation / description / trigger).
5
Start adventure and try a turn
“Start adventure” creates a save. Play 1–2 turns, then edit. Starting spends Echoes (shown in UI).

Optional preferences before create

Expand Customize preferences for tropes, payoff vibes, taste, POV, default style, and optional IP-consistency boost. Helpful for generation—not required to start.
