init

Create the basic folders to set up an npc campaign.

campaign_dir

The directory to initialize as a campaign. Defaults to the current directory.

-n, --name

Name for the new campaign. You will be prompted if you don’t provide this argument.

-d, --desc

Description of the new campaign. You will be prompted if you don’t provide this argument.

-s, --system

Game system the campaign will use. You will be prompted to pick one of the available systems if you don’t provide this argument.

Note

The arguments to npc init are all optional, as this command is designed to be used interactively. The options are there so that it can still be used in non-interactive shells, like from another program.

The directories created are derived from your settings. See New Campaigns for how to customize these directories.
