Kanka instructions

• Everyone has editorial rights, so please be respectful and don't edit other people's entries without their permission.
• The exception is battles, where both players can add their version of the story to the battle record.

Important tips:

• If you are not writing the battle log directly in Kanka, copy the text via Notepad or remove the formatting by highlighting the text and clicking on the eraser icon.
• if you want to link entities, use @+first three letters and an entity menu will pop up.

The key entities everyone should become familiar with are: Dashboard, Characters, Organizations, Events, and Map.

Kanka operates on a wiki-like system, allowing for interconnected tagging. You can tag entities using @, then start typing. If the entity exists, you'll get a list of options to select from.

Organizations

An organization serves as your player card, where your campaign progress, unit lists, veteran abilities, and injuries are recorded. A link to a blank template faction that you can duplicate can be found [here].

Characters

Characters primarily represent your heroes and are used mainly for narrative purposes. Every player should have at least one character, but it's recommended to limit yourself to around 5–6 characters per faction. You don't need to list character abilities here; those should be tied to the organization instead.

Naming Convention:
Include the character's name as a header in the first line of free text, ideally using a Heading 4 format.

Dashboard

The dashboard is your homepage, gathering all critical lore and campaign information in one place.

Events

Events are used as records for battles. If both players are recording an event, create two entries within the same entity. To ensure proper sorting, always include a date in the format YYYY-MM-DD. For ease of use, a blank battle event template is available for duplication.

Map

You can add pins to the map by clicking the + button and entering edit mode. Please aim for consistency.

• Feel free to use custom icons, preferably from RPG Awesome.
• Pin size: 20.
• For battle locations, link the pin to an existing entity.
• Add Marker Groups. Currently, we have battles, settlements, and map suggestions.

Place battle markers wherever you find appropriate.
