Frequently Asked Questions

Quill is a campaign manager built specifically for Dungeon Masters running D&D 5e. It helps you organize scenes, manage NPCs, run combat with a built-in battle tracker, and get smart suggestions — all in one place during your session.

Quill runs alongside your session as a digital DM screen. You can track initiative and combat, flip between scenes and events, reference NPCs with their notes and portraits, play ambient audio, and — on paid tiers — get real-time suggestions for scenes, NPC dialogue, and improvisation.

Quill is designed for D&D 5th Edition (5e), but its tools are system-agnostic at their core. Scene management, NPC tracking, and the battle tracker work for any tabletop RPG. The features are tuned for D&D 5e language and conventions.

Yes! The Scroll tier is free forever and includes full campaign management: scenes, events, NPCs, battle tracker, ambient audio, party characters, and reference links. You get one active campaign with 500MB of storage. Companion features require the Tome ($9/mo) or Grimoire ($24/mo) tier.

Scroll (free) gives you full campaign management for one active campaign. Tome ($9/mo) adds 3 active campaigns, 5GB storage, and companion features — 200 companion messages, 40 NPC dialogue generations, and 10 session recaps per month. Grimoire ($24/mo) gives you 5 active campaigns, 25GB storage, 1,500 companion messages, persistent NPC memory, and custom tone per campaign.

The companion is a live chat that knows your campaign context — your active scene, events, NPCs, party members, and campaign tone. Tome tier gets 200 messages per month. Grimoire tier gets 1,500 messages per month plus persistent NPC memory and custom tone. It helps with improvisation, descriptions, NPC dialogue in distinct voices, rules clarifications, and creative suggestions.

Yes. Ask the companion for scene ideas and it will generate suggestions based on your campaign context — your active scene, recent events, NPCs involved, and campaign tone. Great for prep or mid-session improvisation.

No — Quill is a companion to D&D Beyond, not a replacement. D&D Beyond handles character sheets, rules, and content. Quill handles what happens at the table: session management, scene flow, NPC tracking, combat, and session tools. They work great together.

Yes. You can cancel your Tome or Grimoire subscription at any time from your account billing page. You'll keep access to your paid features until the end of your current billing period. Your campaign data is never deleted — if you downgrade to Scroll, campaigns beyond the free limit become read-only.

Yes. Your campaign data is protected with row-level security — only you can access it. We never share your data with third parties. Smart features are processed with zero data retention, and uploaded images are stored with per-user isolation.

While Quill is optimized for D&D 5e, the core tools — scene management, NPC tracking, battle tracker, ambient audio — are system-agnostic and work for Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, or any tabletop RPG. The companion features reference D&D 5e conventions but can adapt to other systems.

Quill offers 10 campaign tones: Heroic, Dark Fantasy, Whimsical, Horror, Epic, Intrigue, Mythic, Gritty, Mystery, and Pastoral. Each tone sets the visual theme of your campaign and — on paid tiers — shapes how content is generated, from scene descriptions to NPC dialogue.
