Maps and Calendar Basics

Place campaign locations in space and events in time without revealing hidden information.

About 8 minutes

Create a campaign map

Open Maps and add a map image.
Give the map a clear name and choose its kind.
Select Add pin, click its position, and link an existing location or create a new one.
Choose the marker, color, size, and optional label, then move the pin when its position needs adjustment.
Enable Show on stream only when the map and pin are safe for the OBS audience.

Best practice

Create location entities before placing pins. The map then becomes another way to navigate the same campaign knowledge.

The Bellweather regional map with five location pins in mixed stream-safe and hidden states. — Maps link pins to locations and control what players and streams can see.

Use the campaign calendar

Enable a preset or custom calendar from Campaign Settings, then World.
Set the current campaign date from the date control in the top bar.
Add dated events and recurring annual events.
Use Calendar for month-level planning and Timeline for longer campaign history.
Review which dated entries are shared before directing players to their calendar.

The player calendar showing the current campaign date with moon phases and upcoming shared events. — The shared calendar shows the current date, moons, and player-visible events.

Protect hidden information

Important

Campaign maps are GM-side tools. The stream-safe switch controls whether a pin appears on the OBS map overlay; it does not share the map in the player workspace. Calendar entries follow their entity sharing settings. Names can still reveal secrets before notes are opened.
