The editor

Three columns: the step rail on the left, the current step in the middle, and the Prompt panel on the right. The rail is a list, not a wizard. Jump to any step whenever you like.

The steps

In rail order:

Step	What it's for
Setup	Name, setting, tone, and the toggles that decide which systems exist. See World systems.
Story	The opening, the narrator's tone, world quests and events. See Story and world events.
Locations	Places, their descriptions, what's in them. See Locations.
Map	How locations connect. A place with no connection is a place nobody can reach. See The map.
Factions	Groups that want incompatible things. Do these early. See Factions.
Characters	NPCs, and the player character. See Characters.
Creatures	Things that fight. See Items and creatures.
Skills	Trained competences held in ranks, like Lockpicking. See Skills.
Items	Things to carry, wear, eat or use. See Items.
Abilities	What characters can do beyond a plain attack: Fireball, Shield Bash. See Abilities.
Effects	Statuses that land and wear off: poisoned, blessed, burning. See Effects.
Loadouts	What a player starts with and can choose at creation. See Shops and loadouts.
Lore	Background the narrator looks things up in. See Lore.
Assets	Browse and add shared characters, items, plugins and packs from other authors. See Assets.
Plugins	Your game's systems: hunger, stamina, your own. See Plugins.
Notes	A shared scratchpad for you and your collaborators. Players never see it. See Working together.
History	Every saved edit. Undo any one without losing the edits after it.
Problems	Everything broken or unfinished, in one list. See Problems.
Finalize	Check for problems and publish. See Publishing.

Steps disappear on purpose

If a step vanishes, a Setup toggle turned its system off. The editor hides steps whose data nothing would use. Your data is still there; turn the toggle back on and it returns.

Step	Shown when
Creatures	combat is on
Abilities	abilities are on
Loadouts	players choose starting items or abilities
Lore	lore is on

Prompt or type, it's the same

Every step works both ways. The Prompt panel fills in the same fields you would. Most authors end up prompting the content (places, people, things) and setting the numbers by hand. The AI is good at inventing a harbormaster and bad at deciding how fast a fever should climb.
