Getting Started

Setup your TTRPG Campaign with the halforc club!

Welcome, Traveler!

Welcome to the HalfOrc.Club! To get set up, you’ll need a few things:

  1. A group to play Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TTRPGs) with.
  2. An internet connection and modern browser (smartphone friendly).
  3. A valid email address.

Optional Features

  1. If you want to use the AI features, you'll need a Discord server for your TTRPG group.
  2. If you want to use Twitch or YouTube or audio summarizing, you’ll need those accounts.
  3. If you want to auto-capture Twitch streams, you’ll also need a Twitch account.

To start, you will need an account.

Inviting Others to Your Campaign

To invite others to join your campaign on HalfOrc.Club, go to your campaign's settings page and look for the "Invite Players" option. You can either generate an invitation link to share or enter the email addresses of the players you want to invite. Once sent, invitees will receive an email with instructions on how to join your campaign. Remember to set appropriate permissions for new members to ensure they have access to the necessary content and features.

Campaign Visibility

On HalfOrc.Club, you have control over who can see and access your campaign. By default, campaigns are set to private, meaning only invited members can view and interact with the content. However, you can adjust the visibility settings to make your campaign public if you wish to share it with a wider audience. To change your campaign's visibility, go to the campaign settings and look for the "Visibility" option. From there, you can choose between private (invite-only) or public access.

Creating a Page

To create a new page in your campaign on HalfOrc.Club, navigate to the desired section or folder within your campaign. Click on the "+" button or "New Page" option, typically found at the top of the page list. You'll be prompted to enter a title for your new page. Once created, you can start adding content to your page using the rich text editor, which allows you to format text, add images, create tables, and more.

Editing a Page

To edit an existing page in your campaign on HalfOrc.Club, simply navigate to the page you want to modify and click on the "Edit" button, usually located at the top of the page. This will activate the editing mode, allowing you to make changes to the content. You can add, delete, or modify text, images, and other elements on the page. Once you've made your desired changes, click "Save" to update the page with your edits.

View Permissions

HalfOrc.Club allows you to set view permissions for individual pages within your campaign. This feature enables you to control which campaign members can access specific content. To manage view permissions, navigate to the page settings and look for the "Permissions" or "Access" option. Here, you can specify which users or roles have permission to view, edit, or manage the page. This granular control allows you to keep certain information private or restricted to specific players or the game master.

Registering a Discord Server

To register your Discord server with HalfOrc.Club, you'll need to have administrator permissions on the server. Navigate to the "Integrations" section of your HalfOrc.Club campaign settings and look for the "Discord Integration" option. Click on "Connect Discord Server" and follow the prompts to authorize the connection. Once connected, you'll be able to link specific channels to your campaign for seamless communication and bot functionality.

Using the Discord Bot

After registering your Discord server with HalfOrc.Club, you can start using the Discord bot to enhance your campaign experience. The bot offers various commands to help manage your game, such as rolling dice, looking up rules, or tracking initiative. To use the bot, simply type commands in the designated Discord channel. For example, you might use !roll 2d6 to roll two six-sided dice, or !lookup fireball to get quick information about a spell.
