Design Interactive Maps
Maps are great, but you know what's really cool? Linking your worldbuilding directly to a map! Or even linking maps to other maps, going from your world map all the way down to a city or a dungeon!
The maps feature will inspire you during the worldbuilding process, allowing you to quickly create articles you can flesh out later. Then, your readers and players can explore your world in an interactive way like never before!
Link & Cross Reference Everything
Worlds are interconnected, and the rigorous linking system in World Anvil helps you reflect that! You can
- Link in articles you've already written
- Create links for articles you've not yet created (these are added to the to do list!)
- Create an article on the fly whilst writing another article and then link it in
You can capture all your ideas, and you'll never lose track of your flashes of inspiration again!
Put your history in order
Keep track of everything that's happened in your world with Timelines! Use parallel timelines to track events in a specific country or for a character. Separate your timelines into eras and use a variety of specialized timeline features to display your events the way you want.
Explore, Search & Find
When you're writing in flow or mid-game session, you need your information at your fingertips.
World Anvil allows you to search and find everything in your world quicker than ever!
Search your whole world by typing 3 letters in any search bar. Mark your articles with tags to find them even more easily!
Organize
Organization is beautiful! Keep your worldbuilding organized with nested categories - and nest articles under articles - and create a stunning table of contents for your world!
Display the most important categories on your world's main page with book-style covers, to help your readers dive into your world.
Family Trees & Bloodlines
Track & Present the relationships of your characters
Family trees and bloodlines are the perfect way to track the important families and dynasties of your world. They’ll help you track who’s related to whom, as well as decide who inherited the crown, the magical gene or that pesky ancient curse! Share them with your players and readers to help them navigate the political tides and generations of your amazing novels and RPG campaigns.
Organization Charts
Visualise the inheritance of your species, organizations and anything else you want.
Show off your magic system, your thieves guild hierarchy, or your evolutionary tree with Organization charts! These are the perfect way to display information in your world and help your readers or players navigate your world - and they’re interactive too!
Diplomacy Webs
Display the relationships between nations, kingdoms and megacorporations
Diplomacy, hidden agendas and secret feuds - it can be hard to keep track. Our visual diplomacy webs help you track which organizations are working together, which are in all out war - and everything in between! It’s an easy-to-absorb way to present political information, too, something which readers and players can often struggle with.
Interactive Roll tables
Sortable, Rollable, Searchable roll tables!
Create rollable tables to quickly decide a location’s weather, loot, or a random encounter. OR create a whole series of tables which link together. Perfect multi-step random creations like creating new characters, regions, magic items or even whole new worlds!

One of the nice things about the eight steps for preparing a session of D&D from Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master is that it works with just about any tool you already like to use. If you're a pen-and-paper DM, you can just write it down. If use Microsoft OneNote, as many DMs do, you can build templates in OneNote for each session using the eight steps.
I've recently been writing my session notes in text files as part of my Lazy DM Prep videos. I write them in Markdown so I can render them nicely on my phone. I actually wrote Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master using Markdown. It's a wonderful system-agnostic format that allows for a lot of rich markup without leaving behind the simplicity and cross-compatible nature of plain text.
Below you can find a text-based Markdown template for the eight step process from Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master. For a more specific description of each of these steps, see the free sample from Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master, watch the Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master videos, or [buy the book] and learn all about it.
To use this template, select it and copy it into a new blank text file. Save it as 'adventure_template.txt' in the directory where you keep your adventure notes for a particular campaign. Each time you get ready to write up new adventure notes, make a new copy of this template with a new filename. You can also update the template with regularly appearing notes such as reoccuring NPCs and your character notes which tend to be the same from session to session. Resist the urge to copy over previous secrets and other information. That stuff is better thrown away and rewritten between sessions.

I don't expect many people will directly use this template but hopefully it gives you a practical look what the eight steps from Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master actually look like in use. Like all of the advice on this site, customize it and use it as it best helps you in your own game.
