Populate Your World With Diverse Cultures
The histories of your world's peoples are waiting to be told. Build richly detailed communities with unique traditions, expressive customs, and compelling superstitions in the Cultures Module.
Divine Religions & Mythologies
Use the Religions Module to share ancient myths of the iconic deities in your story’s pantheon and keep a detailed record of sacred texts and numinous belief systems.
Meditate on the Meaning of Life
The very nature of existence is up for debate in the Philosophies Module. Organize your symposium on ethics, morality, the Self, and the impact of a thought-provoking idea.
Construct a Fictional Language
Create your lexicon in the Languages Module by adding the letters or symbols of your script and building out a dictionary of terms that you can link to in your manuscript.
Connect All the Dots
Use the Systems Module to arrange any grouping of elements in a flowchart and define how various systems, groups, or even scenes and plot beats work in your story.
Build Your World Compendium
Write wiki-style articles on any worldbuilding topic for a comprehensive guide to your story with the Encyclopedia Module—a Campfire community-favorite feature!
Food, Clothing, and Technology
Create an eclectic notebook of worldbuilding elements like foodstuffs, fashion, objects for transportation, and technologies.
Arts, Sciences, and History
Truly bring your world to life with custom panels for images, histories, stats tables, and more in the Locations Module.
Custom Section Blocks
Arrange and edit paragraphs, article summaries, tables, statistics, and images to craft a wiki page to your desired formatting.
Evoke an Enchanting Magic System
From spellbound mages and epic magical mechanics to uncanny rituals and plot-twisting costs of magic, use the Magic Module to channel your arcane inspirations.
Forge Legendary Items & Artifacts
The Items Module is your index for all manner of gadgets and gizmos. Create powered-up armor and weaponry, rare tomes lost to time, contentious resources, and odd objects found in your setting.
Summon Species From Other Realms
Your world is surely teeming with life, both mysterious and mundane, from healing plants to cryptid creatures to friendly familiars. Track flora and fauna like these in the Species Module.

Say No to Spoilers

Share Your Worldbuilding Project
If you’re looking to share your fictional world with the real one, publish directly to Campfire’s reading platform where you can ask for feedback and even monetize if you wish!
What Our Community is Saying
I love Campfire for worldbuilding. I have a lot of details I have to keep up with and Campfire allows me to do that perfectly. [Having] all my information available as I write and the ability to add or edit information instantly is so incredibly helpful!
JW
Campfire has created an interactive space that automatically links to my worldbuilding. I can, with a single click, see a character's hair colour, or the year my town was founded, without having to leave the document I am working on.
Campfire helped me organize [my] worldbuilding and writing to develop my story easier and more conveniently…if [you] need software to better document plot development, character building, and encyclopedia entries for lore building, Campfire is a number one recommendation.
