Fast Entity Creation.

There's a new switch in the lower left of the create entity form called "Create more" that resets the form after creating a new entity, allowing you to quickly scaffold an entire set of new entities in one go.

Linked-Entity Reveal Notification.

We have recently added features in the Gamestream and Transcript modes to link to compendium entities. Well, what if you link an entity that realm members don't have access to? Now, a notification will appear, so you can quickly reveal the referenced entities.

Bulk Reveal.

If you select one or more entities from the compendium, you can quickly reveal the selected entities by navigating to the three-dot dropdown in the upper right.

Quick Reveal Actions.

If you are the creator of a realm, you now have quick actions in the three-dot menu of the entity details. The first option is to quickly reveal the entity to all members of the realm. The second is to reveal all relationships of the current entity to the realm.

Let's not forget that, as you record your #ttrpg sessions, a transcript is generated for you in real-time. Realm owners can now edit, delete, and link transcripts to characters, places, or things in the compendium with #obsidian, double-bracket syntax.
September 19, 2025 at 11:30 PM
As you live chat with your friends in the Gamestream, use #obsidian, double-bracket syntax to link directly to entities in the compendium. You can even go back and edit previous messages to add links. Never forget those important NPCs again!

#worldbuilding can take a lot of time and effort, and the last thing we want to do is lock your hard work into a platform. The compendium features robust import/export controls, allowing you to download a JSON file or a zip folder containing markdown files.

Create entities with a name, type, description, and a set of private notes meant just for you. Control visibility by setting fine-grained user permissions, and link entities together through relationships. Navigate quickly through your compendium graph and reveal secrets as they are discovered.

We see Realms of Shod as the future of in-person and online #ttrpg play, where theater of the mind replaces the drudgery of mapping, tokens, macros, and busy work. Just you, together with friends.

Bring any RPG system, roll your dice pool, and see the results live with your party.
