Notes & the scribe inbox¶

Campfire has two related note systems: personal notes every user keeps, and the scribe inbox where quick captures flow to the DM to be woven into canon.

Personal notes¶

Anyone — DM, player, or viewer — can keep notes. Each note has a visibility:

• 🔒 Private — only you.
• 🎩 Shared with DM — you and the DM.
• 👥 Shared with party — everyone in the campaign.

Notes can be anchored to an entity — attached to a specific quest, NPC, location, session, or character — so they show up in that entity's notes rail. Or leave them unanchored as general campaign notes.

Where to write them:

• The My Notes screen — the full list, filterable by visibility, with a quick-capture box (saves private by default; change visibility per note).
• The notes rail on any quest / NPC / location / character page — anchored to that entity.
• The quick note box on the dashboard — a fast personal capture.

Visibility is enforced server-side: a DM genuinely cannot read a player's private notes.

The scribe inbox¶

The inbox is the DM's triage queue — short captures from the table that the DM turns into real canon later.

How items get there: a player shares a note with the DM, and the DM sees it in their queue. (A dedicated one-tap "leave a note for the DM" inbox button on the web is a rough edge today — see the roadmap; over the API/MCP there's a direct submit_inbox_item.)

Resolving: open Scribe inbox (DM only; a badge shows the open count). For each item you read the capture and resolve it — the moment to spin it into a new quest, update an NPC, or drop a line in a recap. Resolving clears it from the queue.
