Exploring Squire’s One-Shot Demo

Dive into the world of one-shot adventures and discover how I use Squire to level up my game

I’ve always loved the energy of one-shot adventures. They’re fantastic for injecting quick bursts of excitement into my campaigns, letting me demo new content, or simply enjoying a self-contained story in a session or two. But I’ve also learned that running a truly compelling one-shot can be challenging. Keeping track of all the necessary details, from lore and NPCs to locations and events, can quickly become overwhelming. That’s why we created Squire. This innovative tool has simplified one-shot creation and management, allowing you to focus on what you love most: playing the game.

In the video above, I walk you through how to access and demo a one-shot adventure using our Squire. I’ll show you how to create an account and navigate through the demo world, specifically focusing on the one-shot called “Sherrod’s Device.” You’ll see how the story and lore sections work together to enhance your gaming experience. I encourage you to explore the content and consider how you can create your own campaigns using these features.

What Makes One-Shots Special?

For me, one-shot adventures offer a unique gaming experience. They’re self-contained stories, typically completed in one or two sessions, which makes them perfect for trying out new game systems, filling in gaps in my main campaign, or introducing new players to the world of tabletop RPGs. They provide a low-pressure environment for experimentation, and they let me showcase my storytelling skills without the commitment of a long-running campaign. I also find that one-shots are excellent for demoing tools like Squire, highlighting their features in a practical and engaging way.

Squire: My One-Shot Command Center

Running a smooth and engaging one-shot requires quick access to a wealth of information. Squire streamlines this process by centralizing all my crucial details. The platform’s intuitive design allows me to easily link content, ensuring that every piece of lore, NPC interaction, and plot point is readily available at a glance. This has eliminated the frantic page-flipping and note-scrawling that used to disrupt the flow of my games. Now, with Squire, I can keep the story moving forward, immersing my players in the adventure without any cumbersome interruptions.

Player Portal

Your Party’s Hub

Empower your players and supercharge your games with Squire’s innovative Player Portal. This powerful feature goes beyond simply sharing information; it fosters a collaborative and engaging experience for the entire party.

With the Player Portal, you can easily share session notes and campaign content directly with your players, ensuring everyone is on the same page. Players can access their character backstories, review past sessions, and stay informed about the evolving narrative. No more frustrating “What happened last session?” moments – the Player Portal provides a centralized hub for all essential campaign information.

But the Player Portal does more than just share information. It empowers players to actively contribute to the campaign’s history. Players can easily add their character backstories to the portal, providing valuable context for the GM and enriching the overall narrative.

Furthermore, the campaign owner can designate specific players as “historians,” granting them permission to edit and contribute to the session histories. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of ownership and encourages players to actively participate in the storytelling process.

The Player Portal is more than just a feature; it’s a game-changer. By empowering players and streamlining information sharing, Squire elevates the tabletop RPG experience for everyone involved.

This expanded version focuses on the benefits of the Player Portal for both GMs and players, emphasizing its role in fostering collaboration, enhancing player engagement, and streamlining the overall gaming experience.

Take a Tour of Squire

See what Squire is all about

Hi, I’m Nathan, and I’m one of the creators of Squire, a campaign management tool and game master assistant. I’m excited to share this video tour with you.

Squire helps me organize all aspects of my campaign, from story and adventures to player characters and world lore. It’s more than just note-taking; it actually helps me level up how I play the game.

For example, the inspiration button allows me to brainstorm ideas for my adventures with the help of AI. It suggests things like “hidden traders” or “hidden alliances” to make my campaign more exciting.

I can also easily track what happened in past sessions using the session history feature. I can even upload a recording of my session, and Squire will transcribe and summarize it for me.

Squire also helps me manage my players and their characters. I can give players different levels of access to information, and I can even delegate some of the workload to them by making them “historians” who can help keep track of session notes.

The lore section allows me to create and manage all the details of my game world, from the history of the world to the different factions and important characters.

I can even use the guided NPC creator to flesh out my characters with the help of prompts and AI-generated suggestions.

Overall, Squire is a powerful tool that helps me run more organized and engaging campaigns. I encourage you to try it out for yourself at haysquire.com. We’ve got some free credits for you to play around with and see if it works for you. We’d love to hear your feedback!
