Family Trees & Bloodlines

Track & Present the relationships of your characters

Family trees and bloodlines are the perfect way to track the important families and dynasties of your world. They’ll help you track who’s related to whom, as well as decide who inherited the crown, the magical gene or that pesky ancient curse! Share them with your players and readers to help them navigate the political tides and generations of your amazing novels and RPG campaigns.

Organization Charts

Visualise the inheritance of your species, organizations and anything else you want.

Show off your magic system, your thieves guild hierarchy, or your evolutionary tree with Organization charts! These are the perfect way to display information in your world and help your readers or players navigate your world - and they’re interactive too!

Diplomacy Webs

Display the relationships between nations, kingdoms and megacorporations

Diplomacy, hidden agendas and secret feuds - it can be hard to keep track. Our visual diplomacy webs help you track which organizations are working together, which are in all out war - and everything in between! It’s an easy-to-absorb way to present political information, too, something which readers and players can often struggle with.
