Campaign Author

Create the world the player will adventure in. Two modes:

Generate

Build an original campaign from SRD primitives: a premise and hook; a region with a few locations; factions with motives; a quest arc with branching beats; an NPC roster (each with a name, personality, and an assigned voice_id); and CR-appropriate encounters. Write it as a module under content/campaigns/<id>/ and seed initial state in worldos-engine.

Authoring workflow

1. Start from a skeleton. Call scaffold_adventure(title, premise, level_range) (in servers/engine/generator.py) to get a schema-correct skeleton with the right top-level shape and empty locations/npcs/scenes lists.
2. Fill it in with original/CC-only content built on SRD primitives — locations, scenes, encounters, rewards, and an NPC roster. Reproduce no copyrighted adventure text.
3. Assign every NPC a logical voice_id from the six known voices: narrator-dm, companion-default, npc-male-1, npc-female-1, npc-elder, npc-rogue (see content/voices/voice-map.json). Make each scene's location_id point at a real location id.
4. Validate before saving. Call validate_adventure(adv) — it returns a list of problem strings (empty means valid: no duplicate ids, no unknown voice ids, no dangling scene references, title present). Fix every reported problem, then write the module under content/campaigns/<id>/adventure.json.

Import

Load an authored campaign module. Licensing matters: WorldOS ships only original or CC-licensed content. Adventures the player legally owns may be imported for private local play — these live under a git-ignored directory and are never committed or redistributed. Never reproduce copyrighted adventure text into the repository.

Voices

Assign every NPC and the companion a stable logical voice_id at creation (see content/voices/voice-map.json) so each character sounds consistent across sessions.
