Help & Guides

Getting Started

Welcome to Mythical Atlas, a campaign‑management toolkit built for tabletop RPG groups. Whether you're a Game Master running a sprawling adventure or a player keeping track of quests, everything lives here.

To use the site you'll need to sign in with Google: that's the only authentication method we support right now. Once you're signed in, the campaign navigation bar won't appear until you either join or create a campaign, so don't worry if the site looks a little empty at first.

Tip: If you already have an invite code from a Game Master, you can enter it during sign‑up to join a campaign immediately; no extra steps needed.

Joining a Campaign

Joining a campaign is completely free for every user. All you need is an invite code from the Game Master who created the campaign.

How to join

  1. 1Sign in: Head to the sign‑in page and authenticate with your Google account.
  2. 2Open the Dashboard: After signing in you'll land on your dashboard. Click the "Join Campaign" button.
  3. 3Enter the invite code: Paste the code your Game Master gave you into the dialog and confirm.
  4. 4You're in! The campaign will appear on your dashboard and the campaign navigation bar will unlock, giving you access to quests, maps, notes, and more.

Shortcut: If you don't have an account yet, you can enter your invite code on the sign‑up page and you'll be added to the campaign the moment your account is created.

Creating a Campaign

Campaign creation is available to Game Masters on a paid plan. As a GM, you'll get full control over quests, maps, notes, rules, the shop, and more.

How to create a campaign

  1. 1Subscribe: Visit the pricing page and choose a plan. Once your subscription is active your account will be upgraded automatically.
  2. 2Open the Dashboard: After subscribing, head to your dashboard and click "Create Campaign".
  3. 3Name & describe your campaign: Give it a title (required) and an optional description so your players know what they're getting into.
  4. 4Invite your players: Once created, you'll see an invite code on the campaign overview card. Share that code with your players so they can join.

Sandbox Mode

Not ready to join or create a campaign yet? Sandbox Mode lets you explore every feature of Mythical Atlas with limited GM access — no subscription or invite code required.

How it works

  • You get your own personal sandbox campaign where you're the Game Master.
  • Each content category (updates, quests, notes, etc.) is limited to 5 entries.
  • The navigation bar and all feature pages become fully accessible.
  • Your sandbox data is preserved — you can exit and re-enter sandbox mode at any time.
  • Sandbox campaigns are private — other users cannot join them.

Tip: Click the "Try Sandbox" button on your dashboard to activate sandbox mode instantly. You can also activate it from any feature page's empty state.
