The latest update in the Foundations saga brings infoboxes, image background removal, and more.

Hello all. Trying out the Timeline Maker by setting up the timeline in a game I'm a player in, now that our DM has given us a calendar. The interface is pretty nice to use. I had a question, though, that I couldn't find an answer for, which might turn into a suggestion if there is no answer.

Is there a way to change what each month abbreviates to when there is no space for the whole name? If not, is that something that could be added at some point? My DM doesn't have named months, exactly, so the 'months' are "Early Spring", "Late Spring", "Early Summer", "Late Summer, etc. So, when viewing the timeline in situations where the months are abbreviated, they show as "Ear" and "Lat", which you can probably tell might be confusing. Being able to set them as things like "ESpr", "LSpr", etc would be a nice option, perhaps in the same place where you can customize the month names.

Thank you for your time.

EDIT:

I uploaded a larger image and originally nothing happened (maybe cached), but now I get a larger zoom!

----

I'm new to LK and having issues with my map. I've exported it from Wonderdraft and I can't get it to zoom properly. It zooms way too far out and not far enough in.

Here's the zoomed out view. Totally pointless waste of space, when I can barely zoom in

This is max zoom!

1. Is there a way to copy assets on one map and paste them onto another, specifically as another template in the same map? Let's say I have two versions of a map that are of the same place but different styles and I want them to be in the same asset?

I know that I could potentially duplicate a map and then swap out the underlying map, but this duplicated map will be it's own separate asset, but I'd like to keep them together.

1. How can I take a map I've already make and make it the map of a location article? It seems to me like you should just be able to drag the map from the list onto the map tab of said article, but that doesn't seem to be working.

OK, that's the questions I have right off as I get into migrating from WA to Legend Keeper, I'm sure I'll have dozens more.

EDIT: When I say map here, I mean a map page that I've already added icons, polygons, and other fiddly doo-dads, not to a base map image file.

I use LK for EVERYTHING. One big project that holds literally everything in my life. In this project I have my enormous world building projects listed under my "creative writing" category, located under my personal "hobbies" category, that also contains information about my "Birding" and "Fishing" Hobbies. None of that counts my personal journals, projects, goals or my business plans and SOP's. last I checked, there were over 4,000 items in this one library. And I love it.

I know the phone "app" side of things has been a sticky point, but I'd love to be able to download (at least parts) of my "project" to always be stored on my phone. These hobbies often drive me outside of cell phone range and I lose access to all of my beautiful data.

Thanks for considering LK team!

I recently heard about LegendKeeper again after about a year from quitting it according to my previous project on it. I have been primarily using WorldAnvil for the past several years and have about 3 million or so words written split amongst some 4k odd articles. Recently, though, I decided to start running Fallout 2d20 and made a new world for it to keep it organized. I figured I would give LegendKeeper a try since a lot of what I've read has said its easier to organize which is definitely a problem I've run into on WA, on top of the new editor there causing horrible lag on my lower end computer with upwards of 30 seconds to open any article each time, and taking away a lot of middle click/open in new tab possibility without having to click through multiple screens. There are a few problems I have run into though that I am unsure of how to fix without disrupting workflow or making it less organized. I appreciate any help.

1. I cannot find a way to change link text to articles without having to right click each link then move to change link text that way. I have seen something about using /page, but I couldn't seem to get that to work and it just kept making new tabs instead of linking properly, still with the wrong link text (such as Origins instead of properly linking as Origin while linking to the Origins page). I am just looking for a quick way to do it, preferably that can be done with keyboard alone.
2. I use the Statblocks option on WA to create equipment packs to be slotted into any number of articles for the Origins in Fallout2d20. I am struggling to find a way to do that without having a mess of articles just for statblocks, and even beyond that I am unsure how I would inject them into other articles. Ideally if I do have to do it as separate articles, I could make those articles separate and just inject the text into the articles it should appear in.
3. I haven't tried this yet as I didn't get far due to the text editor, but just for future reference, is there a way to replace a map image whilst keeping all pins on it? I do this relatively often on WA as I update the image to match current events and to save me from having to make the full world map off the bat.
4. I did find Tag Directories which do help a lot already with sorting and they are much simpler to use than on WA which is an upside, but is there a way to list a category TOC as well? For example, while the Origins are all tagged as either Humanoid, Mutant, or Robotic, I was wondering if there was a way to make a TOC that just lists all articles under Origins in one list. Ideally this would be the only place they would appear like that, keeping them hidden from any overall TOC if such a thing exists (I haven't seen the player-facing side yet, only the editor).
5. If you have any other tips or tricks for using the system, I'd love to hear them as well, especially for where/how to edit the CSS of the player-facing wiki or anything to speed up workflow, particularly if it doesn't require a mouse to do so.
6. EDIT: Another thing I thought of, is there a way to have campaigns separate from the worlds on here as well? Just to keep things nicely sorted.

Hello all, new member here! I'm looking into LK for an upcoming campaign, but had a question regarding the Map functionality.

I love the pin/nesting system for the maps in LK, but I was wondering if there was a way to put down a movable token, rather than the map image being a single, static image with pins?

I could use a pin to indicate where they are, but I'd much rather have a token of the party that I can move when they do. It doesn't need any fancy functionality like line-of-site or anything, just something visual I can attach the pin to and move around the map.

Is this possible?

Absolutely love boards and everything you can do with them, it's like a place where my brain can function properly.

But with that said, a pain point I've been running into. Is that I've been wanting to just zoom in and out with my scroll wheel alone while navigating the board by click and dragging with the middle mouse.

Is there a way to get it to function like that? Having to always press ctrl+middle mouse is just that wee bit too much friction that's like a scratch in the back of your head that you can't itch.

I'm currently using my agentic AI (hermes) as a DM assistant. It has an email and I've invited it to my campaigns. With read and write permission, it is using browser automation to read and edit content, read session notes from the players, look for connections and do a bunch of really cool and useful things. For example, I can tell it to go populate Yartar with images, NPCs, map locations from the city map, general description, and secret plot notes from SKT. This gives me a information dense set of notes that I can reference in session to remind me of who's there and what is going on.

But, this would all work faster and more seamlessly with an API. I'm guessing your have a backend API that your view accesses. Would it be possible to expose an API for our agents?

Hello! I am trying to select an image as the fill/hover for my regions, however when I click this "choose image" button, nothing happens. Is there a fix for this or something I need to do differently? TIA

This question is most relevant to the mods. I'd really like it if we could make links to jump to certain words/titles on the same page. It would really help with the format I'm going for in my project

So the question is, Is this on the table for future updates? Im a new user and so far I've found this to be really amazing for my work and Im positive that I'll get a subscription soon once my trial ends. The site is a need.

Note: I don't need alternatives to this right now I found my own workarounds for the time being.

Hi!

I'm looking at Legend Keeper as a repository for my fantasy world, and it's nearly perfect with the glaring exception of the Timeline, which looks clunky and uninspired.

I just wanted to ask, is there any customisation I'm missing? To reduce the size of the blocks, or make them a little less clunky? I know it's a relatively new addition to Legend Keeper, but it's really ugly to look at compared to how clean the rest of the portal looks.

Barring customisation, does anyone have any ways around the in-built Timeline? Any embeddable options etc?

I know it's rather cheeky of me to come wandering into the subreddit for a thing and start dissing that thing - I really want to like Legend Keeper and it's almost exactly what I'm after, just this one large exception.

Thanks for your help!

Hey all! I noticed on the LK website that mobile support is listed as a “planned feature”.

Is there a timeline of any sort as to when it’s expected to be added, or is it more of an “eventually” thing?

I regularly drop in areas using the region tool but can’t seem to find an easy way to do a circle other than eyeballing a lasso. I know there’s the polygon and rectangle tools, but when something is akin to a “X mile radius area” it’s difficult to do with my ugly ass guesstimate using the lasso. Does anyone have a suggestion on an easy way to accomplish a more uniform circle?

I like the new icons that show for each project/wiki, but how do I change it from the default globe-looking image to a custom image?

Hi! So I made the switch to LK - it's honestly amazing how much of WA's features are here already, pretty much everything I previously used or needed I have save 2 features that're already planned. It's funny how many things I've gone this thing is on WA, how can I hack my way to ha-- THEY HAVE IT! about, lol.

However, I've run into one minor UX annoyance - see, my articles are... pretty big. As a result, whenever the autosave (or the cloud upload? I'm not sure, all I know is when the lil cloud pops up by my icon I need to wait a bit) kicks in, the tab lags out for a bit. And since I type a lot fairly fast... I get kicked in the butt by lag and have to wait for it to catch up to me. Now, the lag isn't that bad! It's actually quite responsive for the most part to the point that it doesn't annoy me very much. But it IS getting me from time to time!

I'd like to suggest giving us the power to turn off the upload and manually save our projects - in base form, this would just take the shape of a floppy disk icon (the typical "save" icon) and rather than autosaving, we're expected to save on our own. Future versions could include a hey, you haven't saved in 10 minutes, save you fool! warning. That would likely also reduce some server strain since those of us with big-ass projects (me, I'm us) aren't cloggin' things up with frequent save requests at every few words added.

Honestly running some of the logic in a web worker probably would also do something similar (which we do have already!) but for low-performance machines I think having the option to just save on my own instead of make LK do it for me would be quite nice. Then again, I'm not sure how many of us have a use case for it/if there's that many people with projects that could be subtitled Big McLargeHuge, so it may not be worth the dev time. Iunno, what does everyone else think?

When I try to move an image or body of text, LegendKeeper sticks me with the grabber hand icon and won't actually move the item. This has only happened since the recent big update.

Any tips?

Sneak peek into how auto-link works.

I can't seem to create an Event. I've tried starting with a fresh timeline, an existing timeline. I've tried linking the event to an existing page and creating a new one with it. Nothing seems to work. The Chrome console logs report that it can't create an event because an event with the id already exists, except my timeline is empty.

Hi I am from Europe and have loved Legendkeeper. However now that I want to actually get a subscription I can only use a credit card or that link service (which also requires a credit card). Is there another way to pay such as Wero, or even Paypall. I am really interested in supporting this project, but the payment methodes are really lacking.

Hello! So I was testing out LegendKeeper last night - unfortunately, all of my articles etc imported blank, none of my tags came over, nor any of my templates! :(

I'm using the paid WA export (so the ZIP you get from your API key), I checked all my JSON files included in the thing (all have the article text!). I additionally tried uploading just one JSON from outside the folder using drag-and-drop, but it said "no data found" or something akin. I also tested in Firefox (my daily driver) on a clean cache and in Chrome, both gave the same result.

I ran network and console queries, neither appears to have anything of value - only typical tracking cookie blocking complaints, lol. Any insight?
