The whole thing about factions had eluded me for a long time. But after reading both Proactive and Collaborative books it really made it simple and explained how everything revolves around factions! So I decided to make a tool for myself that helped me track factions and their relationships with other factions (threads). This turned into a “conspiracy board” type visualisation… thus Conspirita was born! It now does a lot more! Secrets was a big deal for me. I’ve added ability to track secrets, who knows them, and if they’ve been revealed; NPCs, locations, PCs, maps and more. It’s been so helpful! You can share a view of it with players too - just a brief outline of a few things. It can even integrate with things like Claude via its own MCP Server! I'm trying out building session plans with Claude since I like to ideate on a bunch of random stuff and then draw some structure from it all. So now Claude and I just chat about what's happened in the last session, I share what I’m thinking for next session, and Claude asks me clarifying questions. Now, rather than Claude trying to constantly remember all about the factions, npcs, locations and stuff from it's own memory (and regularly getting confused about things), it just references my Conspirita board and we're both clear on what's what and who's who. I'd love for anyone who's curious to check it out and let me know what you think! If you want to check it out, you can find it at https://conspirita.com. Once you're signed in to Conspirita, add this URL to your Claude instance: https://conspirita.com/api/mcp If you have any feedback I’d love to hear it! I keep tweaking things when I find myself wanting something more.

Hi, I’m John. I’m an inexperienced DM who played a few ttrpgs as a teenager, and has since grown up, had kids, got them interested in DnD, watched them find their own rpg groups. I’ve only ever run a few home brewed one-shots for 5e. I’m interested in collaborative campaign design, so I followed the book recommendation here. I’ve played 5e, 5.5e, WFRP, Gurps, Dragon Warriors, Call of Cthulhu, and Daggerheart. I’m keen to try out Nimble, Vagabond, shadowdark, and probably a bunch more.
