Game systems in DMRealm
What a system decides, and where that choice reaches into the app.
Last reviewed
A game system is a realm-level choice. It does not change how you write a world; it changes the shape of anything with numbers in it.
What the system decides#
- The fields a creature stat block has, and how they are laid out.
- The shape of an adventurer's character sheet and its builder options.
- How item properties, rarity, and pricing are expressed.
- Which reference catalogs are available to pick from.
- How encounter difficulty is calculated.
- What an export bundle contains for a virtual tabletop.
It is realm-level, not campaign-level#
The system belongs to the realm, so every campaign inside it shares one rules language. That keeps a creature written for one group usable by the next without translation.
