How StorySpine works
StorySpine plans stories that unlock as players progress. Start with the timeline, then read about whatever you need. Each page takes a minute or two.

- Invite your team from Workspace settings. See roles and invites.
- The timeline and NOWHow stops, tracks and the NOW line lay out your story from top to bottom.
- Cards, puzzles and gatesWrite up beats and tasks as cards, and record each puzzle’s answer, gate and unlock.
- Paths and forksSplit the line into two sides, and add side paths that rejoin later.
- Decisions and pollsAsk the team a question, gather stances or votes, and rule on it.
- Meetings and the agreed logPlan a meeting around open decisions, run it, and file what you agreed.
- Notepad and glossaryKeep loose ideas and worries in one place, and agree on what your words mean.
- My work and the bellSee what’s waiting on you, and what your team changed while you were away.
- Versions, history and exportEvery card keeps its history; whole-project versions let you compare, restore and export.
