Worldbuilding

• Cards

  What is a Card? Cards are the building blocks of your world, and a key aspect of the vvd worldbuilding toolkit. Think of each card as page in the encyclopaedia of your creation. You can make them as generalized or as specific as you want. Big stuff? Reusable things? Information that will return dramatically later? Make its own card. Tiny details that will never again see daylight? Put it in the "parent" card (akathe one that has all the information). If you're unsure of what to write, anPopular

• Connections & The Graph

  Creating Links There are two ways you can connect cards: If you mention the card name or alias in the text of another card If you set up a property on a card and then add another card in that property. Visualizing Links Connections will appear on your Graph (also known as the Web). You can view your Graph on your Home page, and apply type filters to it or change it's settings through the buttons on the bottom left. You can hover over a card in the graph to temporarily highligSome readers

• Properties

  Properties help you set key key information for a card that you might not need or want to explain in the body text. Think population or exports for a city or family members and height for a character. Properties can be references to a specific type or they can be a text property. For example if you have a card type called "Royal Family", you can set up a property on the Kingdom card which will allow you to add the family members' cards. A text property allows you to add things that are not cardFew readers

• Media Gallery

  The Media Gallery is where you can view every image that is available to be used. It will tell you what images are currently attached to cards, and allow you to sort them through type tags (bar at the top). You'll have some public images provided by vvd when you first start your world. These images were commissioned by us from real artists, and we own the rights to them. You are free to use them when you are worldbuilding with vvd. You can also upload your own images to use on your cards or maFew readers

Campaigns

• Campaigns

  What are Campaigns? Campaigns is our tool for TTRPG players to DM games using the worlds they've built on vvd. How can I access them? Campaigns are getting reworked, and are unavailable on the current version of vvd. They are available for older users at legacy.vvd.world, but we do not recommend that new users try to use them, as none of the data from the current vvd version exists on the legacy (including worlds and subscriptions). Changes made on the legacy version will also not sFew readers

• Maps

  How can I create a Map? While vvd is made with worldbuilding in mind, it is more focused on the writing aspect, so creating maps from scratch is not something that it offers. When we talk about map creation in vvd, we are talking about creating a map document, not the image itself. To have a map on your World, you can either use one of the publicly available images, or, if you've created a map elsewhere, you can import it as an image into vvd. If you'd like suggestions on what map-makingSome readers

• Relation Trees

  How do the Relation Trees work? To start a new Tree, go to the World screen, and click the button at the bottom of the sidebar on the left, or right click anywhere that's empty. You can create multiple versions of the same Tree (for example, one for the past, or one for the future) by clicking the "Add Variant" button at the bottom of the screen. When you create a new Tree, you'll have an empty node waiting for you. A node is what represents a character in the tree. Nodes can be linked toSome readers

• Timelines

  Timelines in vvd have been released to the public, but they are still in Beta so we're still working on fixing bugs and adding things. Calendars When you first create a Timeline, you will be asked if you want to use Earth style calendar, Generic (12months with 30 days each), or a custom one. If you pick one but then change your mind, you can always edit it through the Calendar Settings button at the bottom of the screen. It allows you to customise the number of hours in a day, days in eaFew readers
