Worldbuilding for game masters and writers. An infinite canvas, maps, family trees, wiki pages, and a relationship graph. Start anywhere.

Updates & news

The offline app for Windows and macOS is out. One payment, and your worlds are files on your own computer. Trails Weaver now comes as an app you install. It runs without an account and without an internet connection, and it keeps your worlds as files on your own computer. Read more at: https://app.trailsweaver.com/desktop External link
Light, Dark or System, saved to your account and carried across browsers and devices. The switch is in App preferences. Also in this update: the collapsed Properties panel shows how many properties are inside, elements without a picture show their type icon instead of a dark tile, and several fixes around deleting nested elements.

Overview

Trails Weaver is a visual worldbuilding app for game masters, worldbuilders and writers. Every character, location, faction and item is a page with rich text, images, custom properties and a relations table, and any page can also be dropped onto a board. There are four board types:
  • an infinite free board where element cards nest inside other element cards.
  • map boards with pins, regions and roads that reveal more detail as you zoom in.
  • hierarchy boards for family trees and chains of command.
  • relationship graph that assembles itself from the relations recorded on each page
Anything marked secret stays hidden when a world is shared through a read-only public link. The free plan covers one world, unlimited free-boards and up to 25 world elements. Pro removes every limit.

Key features

Cards inside cards

Element cards nest inside other element cards on an infinite board. A city holds its districts, a district holds the people who run it.

Notes that think they're pages

Sticky notes on a board carry headings, tables and to-do lists, and connect to each other when the plot does.

Share without spoilers

Send a world through a read-only link. Anything marked secret stays hidden from everyone you share it with.

A graph that draws itself

Record a relation on a page and it shows up in the relationship graph. Filter to one house or faction and the rest falls away.

More than family trees

Map bloodlines, noble houses, guild ranks, pantheons and chains of command. Every tree lays itself out as you add to it.

Maps that open as you zoom

Upload a map, draw roads and regions, drop pins. A country reveals its cities, a city reveals its districts.

This is Roots and Daggers, an actual play, TTRPG podcast, using the Daggerheart system. We’re going back to the roots of TTRPG, where heroes rise, dice decide our fate and chaos is only 1 roll away. Our story takes place in the world of Soltherra. A world functioning with heroes who wield “the light”. Our 5 heroes have just graduated from the Hero program, but have ranked last….200/200th place. Will they rank up high enough go compete in the grand ascendance, a tournament of the generations best heroes? And will they learn what it means to be a hero? Find out in our podcast Roots and Daggers. We’re all first timers. I’m a first time DM and all of my players are first time players. We’ve done our best to bring you the most intriguing, action packed, comedy, drama, mystery adventure. We do make a lot of jokes, but there are times we reach sensitive topics. Please rate us and tell a friend, you’ll be our hero! See you at the ascendance!
