If you experience a little case of ‘writer’s block’, or rather Game Master’s block, read and search around for inspiration in the content hub to create a new adventure for your players. Or read up on your past creations in YARPS’ vast encyclopedia functions, (re-)discovering old missed connections or unfinished business to attend to.
YARPS helps you keep overview and all threads in your hand. YARPS also inspires to inspire others. Be part of a creative community and share your ideas in the content hub.

You love to create, from quick flashes of genius to precise and elaborate concepts. Your characters all have their unique charms, and their backgrounds already make enticing stories of their own. Nobody creates dark and terrifying scenarios, full of unspeakable horrors, as well as you do. In your imagination, everything is connected, and the events in your stories have repercussions in the farthest corners of your world that nobody could have predicted.
YARPS helps you record and develop your ideas. Collect and connect your creations and compile them to epic universes. Share your ideas with your friends, or even make money by creating content for RPGs.

YARPS’ primary strengths lie in world management and story management. As soon as you’ve entered enough data to meaningfully manage your world, you will save time with every click. Both as a GM or a player you always know where you left off last session, and where to pick up again. Chronicles and encyclopedia features provide a quick overview of your world and story building efforts. You can look up all facts and information you need. As a GM you can prepare items, NPCs, and even story arcs beforehand.
You can also print them if you wish to do so. Via your visibility-settings, you can hide or show information to specific players, allowing you to prepare quests with hidden agendas or secrets. All the information you ever entered, plus everything that YARPS can extrapolate automatically, is ready at your fingertips to render preparation as easy as possible.

To support collaborative approaches to world-building, YARPS endows the creator of a universe with a lot of options to grant editing, drafting and visibility rights. For example, you could protect yourself from anarchist ‘friends’ who just put chaos in and delete entities while at the same time enabling contributors to propose as many new items, monsters, worlds or NPCs as they like. You then just sign off on them. Or you collaborate as two or more GMs? In that case, all of you can have full editing capabilities. By using the comment functions, you can work together remotely in creating a compelling world. As usual, YARPS has no restrictions in enabling you to fully unlock your potential in collaborative world-building and world-management.

Pens, paper, dice, a couple of friends, and YARPS. Whether you prefer combat-heavy dungeon crawlers or character-focused story games, YARPS is the perfect addition for every game session, regardless of genres and systems.
You’ll find all the information about your game world neatly organized and assembled for your next session. YARPS automatically selects the appropriate music for the current scenes or mood to help you create an atmospheric game. For game masters, YARPS provides an overview of all planned scenes and the relevant characters, locations, and background information. Interactive maps show the areas you’ve explored so far while hiding undiscovered regions. Via the PDF export feature, you can easily generate customized handouts. Customize the random generators to help you save time looking through rulebooks and tables. YARPS allows you to focus entirely on your game and the shared experience.

This is another YARPS feature that really shines! Here, digitalisation is at its most useful compared to pure pen and paper playing. Instead of compiling all information about your world in endless photocopies and scribbled notes in binders, YARPS auto-creates a detailed and dynamic world-encyclopedia of all your entries and entities.
Furthermore, it actively chronicles every change-event you put in, thus allowing each entity to have an automated personal chronicle. And of course, a joint chronicle of the whole campaign - the history of your entire world, created while you’re building and playing. This is much more active and dynamic than any Wiki, because every information is interlinked with the rest of your gaming universe. Every change you make is continuously updated throughout all dependent information, no need to repeat a name or stat change on a dozen different pages. YARPS always keeps everything up to date, and ready to read on all types of screens.
