What Are BARs and How to Create Them

BARs are kernels of potential—seeds that fuel quests and add context to your journey.

What is a BAR? A compressed unit of potential: an insight, story, or intention. BARs can become quests, rules, lore, or community norms. They have provenance—who created them, when, and why.

How to create: Go to /bars/create or the BARs page. Give it a title and description. Share what you're noticing, what you want to contribute, or what you need. BARs can be private (drafts) or public (shared).

How BARs connect to gameplay: BARs fuel quests—admins turn high-quality BARs into quests for the campaign. BARs add context to quests—you can attach a BAR to a quest for inspiration. BARs move the needle.
