Plotline
Why This is an Opportunity
The TTRPG and worldbuilding communities are enormous, passionate, and chronically underserved by tools that aren't either way too simple or way too complex. A relationship-graph-based worldbuilding app is the kind of thing devs dream about building, and it has built-in virality because DMs love showing off their worlds.
Key Pain Points
- •Your campaign wiki is 40 pages deep and you can't remember which NPC is connected to which faction
- •Players ask 'wait, who was that guy?' and you spend 10 minutes searching Google Docs mid-session
- •Existing worldbuilding tools are either ugly wikis or bloated software that takes hours to learn
- •Plot threads get dropped because there's no visual way to see how everything connects
Original Discovery
Dungeon Masters and fiction writers maintain sprawling worlds with interconnected characters, locations, and plot threads — and they're doing it in Google Docs and wikis that turn into unnavigable messes. Plotline is a visual worldbuilding tool where you create entities (characters, places, factions, events), draw connections between them, and get a beautiful relationship map that actually makes your story make sense.
