System-Neutral Campaign Structure

Goalforger is designed around campaign structure rather than one specific rules system. The model focuses on planning signals and consequences that appear in many tabletop campaigns.

Goals

Factions

Consequences

Core campaign concepts

Goals

Where players want to go and what they want to protect.

Factions

The pressure groups that pull the world in different directions.

Relationships

The web of loyalties, grudges, and dependencies that shape decisions.

Consequences

What changes when a promise is fulfilled, resisted, or broken.

Story opportunities

The scenes that emerge once pressure and context meet.

Campaign state

The evolving record that keeps each session coherent.

What this means for GMs

The tool is positioned to support campaign coherence and prep decisions without tying your process to a single published rules engine.
