Ability to Create Homebrew TTRPG system, Rules, etc.
New Feature Addition · World management · Created by Gremley
closed
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation? I would like to be able to configure World Anvil to use my Homebrew TTRPG system and create/build this system in WA.
How does this feature request address the current situation? Perhaps associated with the Players Handbook, I would like rules written there to be applicable in character creation and running the game.
What are other uses for this feature request?
Custom TTRPG rule systems could be playtested and created by our community. With all of the licensing issues with OGL this could be a place where we can develop our own rules without worry or consequence.The Team's Response
Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. This is already possible: To write the rules, you can use the generic article template. Since you're a Sage, you can also create character sheet templates from scratch, although it requires technical knowledge of HTML, CSS, and TWIG. Check out the Codex guide for more information. If the RPG system you're using isn't in the list, you can request it here: https://forms.gle/ULXn2ZQMUMbQ6Yi66. Note that in order for a character sheet to enforce the system's rules you'll need advanced TWIG knowledge and you'll have to code it yourself. If you're in our Discord server, you can check out the #twig-help channel for help with custom statblock templates!

on 2023-06-13 03:31As someone who has been developing my own systems (and this is primarily how I use WA) this would be amazing.

on 2023-06-07 12:06It would be also great if there was a template for current ttrpg systems so that base rules can be set then adjusted, as some homebrew systems are just alterations to the current one to add flavor or thematical sense to the worlds.

on 2023-06-06 05:15I'm not sure how WorldAnvil could be designed to let you write your own rules and then enforce them in statblocks, not to mention letting you run the entire game with it.

on 2023-06-05 15:09I think things like updated (and hopefully easier to use) character sheets are already in the works, but I still want to show my support since the difficulty is the only thing preventing me to really get into it at the moment and I hope it gets released soon.

on 2023-06-03 11:16I feel like you need to get more specific for Dimi and Janet and anyone else involved/any team they have built up, cause I don't know names, to be able to work with this request. It is simply put, to broad, not providing any specific direction of what you need in specific, or any systems that do exist already but need tinkering help. I simply feel like you need to put in some more work into refining this request into actual actionable suggestions that Dimi and company can focus in on and work with. They are hella busy as it is keeping this wonderful community and workspace alive and healthy, so when we suggest things, it really helps if we can give them as much refined data and focus in our requests as possible. I suggest perhaps running through what processes you already use now, trying to see what you can do with WorldAnvil at current and get more specific about what is missing/where you think improvements could be made (such as statblocks)

on 2023-05-26 15:27I second what R.A Vaught says. I personally would love a grealty expanded functionality and honestly an easier way to build a well thought out Homebrew.

on 2023-05-26 15:00The ability to create an homebrew TTRPG exists, but it is not yet a pleasant experience. Stat blocks are there, but the functionality is limited in some fairly significant ways that could be address, particularly in how they can be updated and how they are explicitly public with no way to privatize that I am aware of, which should not be the case. The studio block template creator could also use a bit of love to make it easier to work with. The current API is also not up to par for this task, though I know they are working hard on improving it.

on 2023-05-23 20:02That is what custom statblock templates are for. Not sure what much more you would need specifically. There are a number of TTRPG developers on World Anvil.
