Alex
Your campaign’s idea partner
(a major update and replacement of Ask Alejandro)
Alex is Scabard’s built-in creative collaborator for Game Masters who want better ideas without starting from scratch.
Alex doesn’t work in a vacuum. He reads what you’ve already written — across your entire campaign — and builds on it.
What Alex helps you do
- 🧠 Brainstorm adventure hooks, rumors, NPCs, factions, locations, and plot twists
- 📜 Clarify what’s already true in your lore (and spot contradictions)
- ✍️ Expand half-formed notes into usable material
- 🧭 Get unstuck when you don’t know what should happen next
This isn’t generic inspiration. The ideas are shaped by your setting, your tone, and your campaign history.
This isn’t random AI — Alex is reading and riffing off of actual pages from my Eraven campaign. It can do the same for your campaign! (Silent video)
You can ask Alex anything
Ask for traditional GM material (rumors, hooks, encounters)… or go broader:
- “What’s a fun complication for tonight’s session?”
- “Give me three suspects and motives for this mystery.”
- “How would this faction react if the PCs did X?”
- “Write a short prophecy that foreshadows the next arc.”
- “What am I forgetting to prep?”
If you can ask a co-GM or a creative partner, you can ask Alex.
How Alex is different from generic chatbots
- Campaign-aware: understands your entire campaign, not just one page
- Scabard-native: built directly into your workflow
- Helps you build: it doesn’t replace your creativity — it amplifies it
Alex thinks like a bard: reactive, contextual, and story-driven.
How it works
- 1 Open your campaign and click Chat
- 2 Ask any question you want
- 3 Get ideas back instantly
- 4 Keep what you like, discard what you don’t
- 5 Save the best bits into your campaign, then edit and elaborate as needed
