The Lobby
The Lobby is your starting point in Alkemion Studio. From here, you can access your Modules, browse your Library, adjust Settings, view Useful Links, or open the User Manual.
Modules Tab
Use this tab to view, organize, duplicate, or delete your Modules.
Clicking a Module opens it on the Board. You can rename, duplicate , or delete a Module using the action menu.
You can create folders and subfolders to organize your Modules. Move Modules between folders freely. The "Edited" timestamp on a folder reflects any changes made to Modules inside it, not just changes to the folder itself.
The search in the Modules tab is recursive: it searches across all folders and subfolders. Results include a Path column showing where each Module is located.
You can drag any Module card to reorganize it: drop it onto a folder to move it inside, or drop it onto the parent folder to move it out. Dropping a Module onto a Module Collection card adds it as a child of that collection. Dropping a child Module outside its collection removes it from the collection.
To create a new Module, click + New Module and choose to start from an empty Board or a Template.
Module Collections
Module Collections let you group related Modules together under a parent Module. A campaign with several adventures, a world hub with region and faction Modules, a solo project with session journals. The structure is whatever fits how you think.
To create a Module Collection, use the Promote to Collection action in any Module's context menu. Everything in the Module stays exactly as it is, and you can always turn it back into a regular Module if you change your mind. You can also check the Collection option in the New Module window to start fresh.
In the Lobby, a collection card expands and collapses to show its Modules nested beneath it. Click the card to open its Board; use the expand/collapse control to show or hide its contents.
Add Modules to a collection through its context menu, or by dragging a Module card directly onto the collection. Remove a Module from a collection at any time. Its content is never affected. A Module can only belong to one collection at a time.
The collection's own Board is a blank canvas. Use it however you like: a campaign overview, a visual map of your Modules, or simply leave it empty.
Modules within a collection also gain access to a shared curated Library and cross-module search. See the Library and Board sections for more detail.
Library Tab
The Library is where you manage all reusable assets: Templates, Random Tables, Images, Icons, and Masks.
All assets are organized in categories and can be bookmarked for quick access.
You can browse both your personal creations and those shared by Alkemion or the community.
Double-click an image, an icon or a mask to open it in a zoomed view.
Useful Links Tab
Access external resources related to Alkemion Studio:
Settings Tab
Use this tab to set your display name, choose your App theme, and choose between mouse or trackpad controls. If you support us on Patreon, this is also where your Patreon account is linked to your Alkemion account.
You can also reset the application tours or log out.
You’ll also see your Public User ID in this tab. This ID can be shared safely and helps the Alkemion team identify your account for support or feedback. It’s not sensitive and poses no security risk.
Interface Themes
Alkemion Studio comes with up to 20 interface themes that change the look of the whole application: menus, panels, toolbars and dialogs. Ten of them are available to everyone, and ten additional themes are available to our Champion Patreon supporters. No feature depends on the theme you use: they only change colors.
Themes can be applied at different levels:
- Your App theme, set in this Settings tab, is the look you get everywhere in Alkemion Studio.
- A Module theme, set in the Module Settings, gives one Module its own theme. It applies to the interface around the Board for as long as that Module is open. By default, a Module follows your App theme.
- Board asset colors, also set in the Module Settings, are chosen separately: they define the palette of the Tokens and of the Board surface itself.
Each interface theme was designed to work with one or two of the Editor's Page styles, but any combination that suits you is the right one!
A Module keeps the theme its author gave it: everyone who opens it, including the readers of a shared link, sees it with that theme.
