What are Scenarios?

Scenarios are templates players can use to start a new Adventure from. All Scenarios start off as unpublished Drafts, but can be published at any time for all players to see.

Clicking the Play button on a Scenario will start a new Adventure with all of the Plot Essentials, Story Cards and other settings transferred over, and the Prompt used as the first Action, giving the new Adventure a starting point.

With a Scenario, you can start multiple Adventures from the same custom beginning, and you can Publish them for other players to do the same, or play from Scenarios that other players have created.

This is comparable to the Quick Start options when you click “Start” from the homepage, though Scenarios have capabilities which aren’t used there, such as the ability to change the AI Instructions, Plot Essentials, Story Cards, and Author’s Note, or to add Scripting.

Using Scenarios to start Adventures

To start a new Adventure from a Scenario, all you need to do is navigate to it in either My Stuff, the Search page, or through a link someone sent you, and click the “Play” button.

When the Scenario begins, it may ask you questions, with some suggested formatting, to help customize your play-through. Be sure to answer as suggested so the prompt-generation works as the Scenario’s creator intended.

After the questions (if any), a block of text called a “Prompt” will begin the Adventure, and the AI will generate the first output in response to that. The Adventure will be automatically saved to your My Stuff folder.

In some cases, you may also experience Character Creation, or have the option to select different choices. More on that later!

Creating your own Scenarios

To create a new Scenario on Desktop, click the ‘Play’ button at the top right of your screen, beside your profile.

If you are on mobile, press the large “>” button at the very bottom middle of your screen while on the home page. Then, click the button at the bottom that says ‘Create Scenario’.

You will then be taken to the Scenario Creation Page, which is full of empty fields for you to fill in. Below, there are descriptions for these fields.

For more information on each element in a scenario, navigate the dropdowns below.

In the Basics tab, you’ll find Title, Description, Tags, Rating, Published/Unlisted, and Placeholders. In the Technical tab, you’ll find Prompt, Plot Essentials, Author’s Note, Story Cards, and Scripting.
