How this works, saving, and privacy
Creating a characterChoose a game system and a creation path. Guidance and question-mark help can explain unfamiliar choices.
Saving your workDevice recovery is convenient, but a downloaded character file is the dependable backup and can be opened on another device.
Reflective toolsSession Zero, NEDS, and personality answers may be private. AI personality mode sends its answers through the site function to Anthropic. Skip anything you do not want to share.

Mirror Me Personality Creator
Choose how much time you want to spend. Every path can create either a Fantasy 5E or Daggerheart character, and you can edit the result afterward.
Before the reflection begins
Mirror Me is a creative character exercise, not a psychological test, diagnosis, or treatment tool. When AI mode is used, the answers in this reflection are sent securely through the Creative Journeys Netlify function to Anthropic so it can write the character description. Do not enter a full name, school, contact information, diagnosis, treatment details, trauma history, or other information you would not want processed by that service.
Both acknowledgements are required before starting an AI reflection. The regular character builders remain available without AI.
Privacy: Use a character name or first name only. Do not enter diagnoses, school details, contact information, trauma history, or anything you do not want sent to the AI service. Any question may be skipped. This is a creative reflection tool, not a psychological diagnosis.
Your Mirror character is ready.
Review the result in the Mirror, then transfer its starting choices to the main builder.
Session Zero · Pre-Character
Decide who you want to play before choosing game statistics. This worksheet works with Fantasy 5E, Daggerheart, Paranoia-compatible, and original Stellar Journeys characters.
Keep it fictional and comfortable. Every question is optional except a character name. Avoid diagnoses, trauma histories, school details, contact information, or anything you would not want included in a shared game file. This draft is kept only in this browser unless you download it.

1 · Character spark
2 · How I would like to play
Choose any roles that sound enjoyable. These guide the character concept and do not lock you into a class.
3 · Party connections
4 · Interests, comfort, and story boundaries
These preferences can change. A player may update a limit at any time and never needs to describe a personal experience or explain why a topic is uncomfortable.
Optional · A trusted person’s perspective
A parent, counselor, teacher, friend, or fellow player may add observations with the player’s permission. Do not enter private clinical or school information.
5 · Choose what the GM receives
Your complete draft stays privately on this device. Select only the sections you want included in the GM copy, printout, or shared download. You can change these choices at any time.
A boundary can still be communicated verbally or privately. Selecting it here places it in the GM copy.

How do I create and use Campaign Atlas cards?
Each saved record becomes a card on the map. A record can be an NPC, location, tavern, faction, quest, clue, item, event, or story thread.
Create a card: Drag a Character, Faction, Place, Story, or Object symbol onto the map. On a phone, tablet, or keyboard, select the symbol and then select an empty map location. You can still use Create new card for the full form.
Move around the map: Drag the empty background to pan. Use zoom controls or Ctrl/Command plus the mouse wheel. The overview map shows your location and can move you to another area.
Arrange and expand: Drag cards to position them, use Arrange records for automatic placement, and select Grow canvas when you need more planning room.
Open a map inside a card: In Record details, choose a blank map, a Session planning map, or a Story arc map. Open the saved card and select Open nested map. Use the breadcrumb trail to return to the campaign or an earlier story level.
Connect two cards: In Relationship, choose a From card, a To card, and a connection such as “Lives in” or “Opposes.” Then select Add connection.
Record what happened: Add a Session timeline entry after play so the campaign history stays with the Atlas.
Protect GM information: Leave Player-safe unchecked for secrets. Turn on Player-safe view before downloading a copy for players.
Back it up: Select Save Atlas file. Use Open Atlas file later or on another device.
This opens the Record details form below the map.

Relationship
Campaign timeline
Record ancient history, recent events, the present, and possible future developments. Entries are arranged from oldest to newest.
Campaign Book & Player Packet
Compile the Atlas into compact pages for a binder or Save as PDF. The GM book includes private details. The player packet includes only records, connections, and timeline entries marked player-safe.
For a bound book: In the printer window choose two-sided printing and flip on the long edge. The book uses mirrored margins so the wider gutter alternates correctly on front and back pages.
The Bag of Turning Paths
Draw one of twelve engraved coins, then reveal its Bright or Shadow face. The GM reviews every result before it enters the story.
Origin of the Bag
Before the oldest surviving calendar, a road-scribe named Mara Vey traveled with Orren Vale, a metalsmith who repaired tools instead of forging weapons. They watched rulers ask oracles to choose their futures and then blame fate for the harm that followed. Together they made twelve coins from the metal of broken tools, abandoned crowns, and a star that fell beside an unmarked road.
Mara engraved each coin with a choice that every traveler eventually faces: connection, purpose, truth, time, change, sacrifice, or return. Orren gave every coin two faces. The bright face reveals an opening; the shadow face reveals its cost. Neither face is wholly fortunate or cruel. The magic does not command the future. It makes one possible path difficult to ignore.
The coins rest in a weathered traveling bag whose inside resembles a moonless sky crossed by thin golden roads. The bag appears when a group reaches a choice that could change more than one life. It sometimes vanishes after its lesson is understood. Some stories claim that a thirteenth coin, called The Thread, was removed before the bag was completed.
Ways to grow the legend
Decide who currently searches for the missing thirteenth coin.
Choose whether Mara and Orren died, disappeared, or still travel under different names.
Give one coin a connection to a character’s history.
Create a faction that believes only Bright faces should be permitted.
Decide what the Bag expects from someone who refuses a revealed path.
3D-print design and Meshy AI prompt guide
The Bag: a hand-sized, teardrop-shaped traveling pouch made from nearly black brown leather, approximately 7 by 9 inches when laid flat. The surface is worn smooth at the corners and stitched with muted gold thread in branching road patterns. Its round mouth is reinforced by an aged bronze collar with twelve shallow notches. The interior is midnight-blue suede scattered with tiny gold points and thin intersecting lines, resembling a starless sky crossed by luminous roads. Twelve narrow inner pockets keep the coins separated. No lettering or modern logo appears on the artifact.
The coins: twelve weighty round pieces. Every finished coin is exactly 2 inches (50.8 millimeters) in diameter, with a 4 millimeter core and no more than approximately 6 millimeters of total thickness including relief. They share a raised double rim, softly rounded edges, an antique bronze appearance, warm polished highlights on the Bright face, and darker oxidized recesses on the Shadow face. Designs use bold silhouettes, broad engraved channels, and layered relief rather than fragile printed lines.
3D-print target: one centered, watertight manifold solid with both faces and the edge modeled as a single piece; relief no more than 1 millimeter above each face; recessed channels at least 0.6 millimeters deep and 0.8 millimeters wide; minimum raised feature width 0.8 millimeters; rounded symbol corners and a 0.6 millimeter edge fillet; no floating parts, unsupported islands, deep undercuts, lettering, logo, stand, or background. The flat body should sit securely on either face for resin or filament printing. A modeler should still inspect the final mesh and test-print one coin before producing the set.
Every coin has a complete text-to-3D prompt describing its Bright face, Shadow face, edge band, exact dimensions, and print constraints for Meshy AI or a similar model generator.

Original magic-item generator
This GM tool creates three Creative Journeys items with original names and supported automatic effects. Generated items enter the Homebrew Library and can be shared in a content pack.
Use this for your original subclasses or notes from a source you legally own. This text appears while the player chooses at level 3.
Daggerheart Homebrew Workshop
