Note: This Early Access software is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to use this software in its current state, then you should wait to see if it progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Campaign Manager is a fully usable tool right now to create game worlds and adventures. However, it encompasses so much including story writing, map creation, and sound that there is unlimited room for improvement across the software. There are specific features on the to-do list, but new users may have features that would be of immense help that haven't even been considered. Feedback from users' priorities will help guide what is most important to improve in the software.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“The currently planned features on the to-do list are expected to be complete in late 2027. User feedback may refocus what is important and shift that timeline. ”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The basic structure of the software and how it's used is not intending to change. However, the supplemental tools within it have significant areas of planned improvement, such as:
- Aids in creating encounters - quicker and easier generation of scenarios players will face.
- Improvements to map creation so it can be a complete tool for creating battle maps or overworld maps.
- Expanding monster / spell / item / character assets to give more ready-to-use options on what to populate in the game world.
- Additional "one shot" playable scenarios that game masters can immediately run with their players.
- Extending the mod API.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The tool is fully capable of organizing and creating game campaigns or worlds in its current state. The user interface with its concept of a canvas that contains regions that contains encounters that contains items is the final structure. There are already numerous supplemental tools within the software to aid in creating those encounters, including a name generator, a combat balancer, and a map generator.

Backwards compatibility is absolutely critical, and there are no expectations that a future version of the software would not be able to open an older campaign file.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The current plan is to have the software priced lower during Early Access (as a reward for early adopters and to reflect limitations in some features) and then raise it for the official release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Users should leave feedback including feature requests and issues on the Steam game discussion boards. That way user to developer and user to user communication is all in one place to help design the best approach for improvements.”

About This Software

Campaign Manager is a tool to create worlds, puzzles, and adventures. Game masters can design tabletop RPG campaigns that their players must fight through. Escape room style puzzle creators can plan out how their participants must escape. Or interactive stories / adventure games can be fleshed out with all the possible branching paths.

The software is offline – no Internet connection required. The amount of content, including art and sound, is only limited by your computer’s available storage space. There is no subscription so everything you create is yours forever. Your creations are never locked into this platform - campaign files are saved in human readable XML format, so the data can be pulled out in the future if desired.
