Player Inventories/Bank

New Feature Addition · Generic · Created by SelenaRH

Item Bank inventory rpg art arpg game system management feature

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

How does this feature request address the current situation?

What are other uses for this feature request?

This feature request is likely very different from what you usually get. I am using World Anvil to host all the world information for an Art Roleplay Game (ARPG) I am creating. Which is a little different than other RPG games in that players interact with the world by drawing pictures or writing stories.

If I had to ability to host player inventories/banks that could be searchable by name that would be an amazing addition to World Anvil.

To tie in with this it may need a sort of "item" system added. Each item could be kind of like an article page with an image and a description. In each player's bank/inventory though an admin could add items to the banks, and for the players it would showcase how many of each item they had.

Now I know this could manually be done by just using generic article pages, but a dedicated banking system would be amazing.

This could also be used for other types of RPGs as well, like Pathfinder, D&D, etc. The DM could help players keep track of their items this way.

The Team's Response

[PARTLY ACCEPTED] [MAYBE] So ... I am a bit dumbfounded by this suggestion for 2 reasons.

There is already an Equipment management system for BOTH a character AND a party's shared resources.

There is already an announcement for the upcoming Hercules release in regards to the upgrade to this system.

I am not sure what to answer apart from:

It's largely already here in the Campaign Management system

in terms of information for each item ... we already have Statblocks

It's getting an upgrade that will also add Shops for players to buy stuff from

Many of the suggestions of the OP show lack of understanding of how WA works, which is perfectly ok but many of the things suggested are very clearly available

THere won't be an ART RPG specific implementation.

This will stay accepted for the next 5 days

If you can clarify what you mean or elaborate PLEASE come and talk to me on #developement-discussion. If I do not get any responses within the given time this will be closed.

I find the number one issue in long stories, and table top games, is inventory management and management systems, or the lack there of. we all know of a "Bag of Holding" or " Party Bank" but there is very few resources online or otherwise to help us easily keep this info while simultaneously allowing access to the entire player base. I use world anvil a lot as a DM tool and Player reference for my world lore. This Functionality would be a life saver.

I'm having a little trouble understanding what's being requested (wish this had a link to a discussion!) and just how this differs from what can be accomplished through statblocks or variables beyond that it seems to be controlled by the GM and not the players (maybe?). If that's the case, I suppose it's different enough, but unfortunately, without the ability to ask questions on this and discuss it for better understanding, the best I can do is contribute +10.

"Each item could be kind of like an article page with an image and a description. In each player's bank/inventory though an admin could add items to the banks, and for the players it would showcase how many of each item they had." That sounds like statblocks to me.

This is an amazing idea! The possibility of having a bank the entire party has access to is invaluable, it would simplify the inventory management a lot, and if the items could be linked to articles the players would know where everything comes from and never forget where they got them or what are they supposed to do with the items. Same for an individual inventory for the players. I think this would give World Anvil a much more strong incentive for players to use.

Having a way to manage party inventory in World Anvil, with the ability to link to articles and have them directly connected to the party member would be wonderful. I don't have a clear vision for the layout (I can imagine an article workaround, but it would require several layers of links.) I hope something like this comes out with the RPG tools upgrades.

This! There is already an "item"-Article template. But then I learned that I can't link the inventories of the players to those Items - I have to write in every single name with no connection to the articles at all. A dedicated system for that would be so lovely!

I would love to give this to my players. We are currently working with simple spreadsheets and it would be amazing to give them something like this. I hope that it's going to be intuitive for players to also interact with and keep track of. I hope that there is a way to put "Stolen" "Where we got it" and other bits of information with a system like this.
