Step 1: Open the campaign board
Select SESSIONS (badge 1) from the campaign menu to open the board. The page title confirms you are on the World Building Board.
The board is a 2D grid. Drag to pan across it, and pinch or scroll to zoom in and out. Scenes, elements, and notes you place here stay visible across sessions.
Step 2: Filter the canvas with board search
Click the Search Board input (badge 2) in the board header and type a keyword.
Fabled hides any cards that do not match, so you can focus on the scenes and NPCs relevant to tonight's session without removing anything from the board permanently.
Step 3: Edit board settings
Click Edit Board (badge 3), the menu button next to the board name. From here you can rename the board, update its description, or delete it.
Every campaign starts with one default board. To create additional boards, for example one per arc or per session, use the campaign's content menu outside The Forge.
Step 4: Quick-launch into the Virtual Tabletop
Click the rocket icon link (badge 4) in the board header to quick-launch into the Virtual Tabletop.
Every card placed on the board is one click away inside the VTT. See the Run a live session guide for the next steps after launch.
