Is Storymapper a virtual tabletop?

No. It has no dice, tokens or battle grid. It is the planning and record-keeping tool that sits beside your virtual tabletop or your table.

Can I use a map from Inkarnate or Wonderdraft?

Yes. Export the map as an image and upload it. Storymapper puts pins, routes and territories on top.

Is it free for game masters?

Yes. The Free plan covers four campaigns, with one map and one relationships chart in each. Storymapper Plus adds unlimited campaigns, maps and charts, images on your scenes and your own map icons.

A campaign planner for D&D and other tabletop RPGs

Storymapper gives game masters a campaign timeline and a living world map. Plan story arcs, record what happened each session, and replay the party’s journey across the map.

Free forever for the core features. No card needed.

The Mapper: pins, journeys and territories that play back in story order.

A campaign timeline, session by session

Use lanes for the party, each villain and each faction, and header rows for sessions, story arcs and in-world dates. You can see what the lich was doing while the party spent three sessions in the swamp.

Your world map, with the story on it

Upload your campaign map and pin every encounter, town and dungeon the party has visited. Draw their route with arrows and shade the territory each faction controls. Borders can change over time as wars are won and lost.

Replay the campaign so far

Press play to watch the journey unfold on the map in order. It makes a quick recap at the start of a session, and a clear way to bring a new player up to date.

Works with any system and any setting

Storymapper tracks story, time and place, so it works for Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, or a system of your own. It suits a homebrew world as well as a published adventure.

Factions, houses and who serves whom

Chart the noble houses, the guilds and the villains’ chain of command on the Relationships chart. Ties can start and end during the campaign, so the chart at session twenty is not the chart at session one.

Share it with your players

Make a read-only link and your players can open the timeline, the chart and the map, and play the campaign back, with no account. Your notes are never sent, so your secrets stay behind the screen.

How it works

Create a project for the campaign and add lanes for the party and the main factions.
Add a header row for sessions and a scene for each encounter or plot beat.
Upload your world or region map and pin the places the party visits.
After each session, add what happened and draw the next leg of the journey.
