How to use Quoth›Add Players to Campaigns

Add Players to Campaigns

Invite players by email, assign their characters, get them to the table.

Invite a player to your campaign

When you’d do this: When a friend's joining the table — or your party just got bigger.

1.
Open your campaign. The Party & Players section sits between the campaign hero and Upcoming Sessions. Tap Manage to open the panel.
2.
Below any existing party members, find the Add a Player by Email field.
3.
Type your player’s email address. Use the email your player will sign up with. Confirm email before you tap Send. Tap the brown + Add button.
4.
Quoth shows you a confirmation. If the email isn’t tied to a Quoth account yet, the modal explains what’s about to happen — "We’ll email them a magic-link invitation. They’ll join automatically when they sign in." Tap Send Invitation.
5.
The player gets an email titled "Welcome to Quoth GM!" with a single button: Sign in to Quoth. The link is good for 24 hours and one use only.

The Welcome to Quoth GM email — a single Sign in to Quoth button on a parchment-colored card. — Welcome to Quoth GM!

IF YOU'D RATHER CREATE THE CHARACTER FIRST

You can. Open your codex, create the PC, and come back here when you’re ready to invite the player. You’ll assign the existing character to them in Task II.

YOU CAN ALSO DO THIS FROM THE CAMPAIGN EDITOR

The same Party Members panel lives on the campaign edit page. The campaign view path is more direct, but if you’re already editing the campaign, the panel is right there.

II.

Assign their character

When you’d do this: Once your player has a character, the campaign is fully theirs — their character card appears, and they’re ready to play.

1.
In the Party Members panel, find the player’s row. Under their name you’ll see a + Assign character button.
2.
Tap it. Choose an existing character from the codex, or create a new one for them on the spot.
3.
The player’s row updates to show "plays [Character Name]". Next time they refresh their campaign view, their character card appears at the top.

Assign Character modal showing existing characters list and Create & Assign option. — The +Assign character button on the player’s row.

A NOTE ON TIMING

Your player is technically on the campaign the moment they sign in — they don’t need a character to be there. However, they need a character to see the campaign.

III.

What your player sees when they sign in

When you’d do this: Knowing what your player’s looking at makes you a better GM at the table.

1.
The player clicks Sign in to Quoth in their email. Quoth signs them in and lands them on Your Table — the home page where every campaign they’re part of appears as a card.
2.
Their display name will be the part of their email before the @ until they update their profile. So alice@example.com shows up as "alice" until she changes it.

Player Your Table page — card grid of every campaign the player is in. — The Your Table page after a player signs in.

IV.

Take a player off the campaign

When you’d do this: A player drops out, schedules change, you need to reshape the table.

1.
In the Party Members panel, find the player’s row.
2.
Tap the Remove button on the right side of the row.
3.
Quoth asks you to confirm — "Remove [player name] from [campaign]? They’ll lose access to the campaign immediately." Tap Remove Player to confirm, or Cancel to keep them.
4.
If the player is still pending (they haven’t accepted the invite yet), the same flow applies — tap Cancel on their row, confirm in the modal, and the pending invitation is withdrawn.

The Remove confirmation modal.

WHAT THE PLAYER EXPERIENCES

Once you confirm the removal, the campaign disappears from their Your Table page on next refresh. Their session notes go with the campaign; their character stays in the codex (unassigned, available to assign to someone else later). If you change your mind, you can re-invite them with the same email and they’ll come back.
