Notes linked to entities
A reference to an NPC or a location leads to a real sheet, not a loose word.
Notes
Notes that know what they are about
A note that says "talked to the blacksmith" is useless if it does not lead to the blacksmith the players met two sessions ago.
In Talehaven a note can reference an NPC, a location or an item directly, so the context stays with you.
Notes that are only text lose half their meaning
You write "deliver the letter to the faction", but a week later you do not know which letter, which faction or who you promised.
A plain document does not know that the blacksmith you mentioned is a specific NPC with their own sheet and secret.
You need notes that connect to the rest of the campaign and let you return to the source in one click.
Session noteGM only
The players suspect @Halvard and promised the innkeeper help in #Alpendorf. The foreman still hides what was found in #Głęboka Żyła.
Every link opens the full sheet
A note references an NPC and a location directly, so it leads to the source.
How notes work in Talehaven
Write freely
A note is full text with formatting, headings and lists, not a rigid form.
Reference campaign elements
A mentioned NPC, location or item becomes a link that leads to the full sheet.
Decide who sees it
A private Game Master note stays with you. A shared one reaches players as campaign material.
What taking notes in context gives you
Formatted text
Headings, lists and highlights organize long prep and session recaps.
Private Game Master notes
What should stay a secret stays a secret. Players do not see your private notes.
Materials for players
A handout, a letter or a local map reaches players as a shared note or document.
Search across the campaign
Find a note by content, a character’s name or a place, without scrolling through everything.
Notes stay with the campaign
Every session recap is part of the story and returns when you need it.
The difference between text and campaign memory
A note-taking app remembers words. Talehaven remembers what those words refer to.
When a note knows it is about a specific NPC and a specific location, session prep stops being archaeology.
A good note does not just remind you what happened. It leads you back to the source.
The Alpendorf journal
After the session you write that the players suspect the foreman and promised the innkeeper help. Both are specific NPCs, so the note leads straight to their sheets.
Before the next meeting you open the journal, click the foreman and immediately know what they hide and what the players have found.
Frequently asked questions
- Yes. A mentioned character, location or item becomes a link to the full sheet.
