How do I create dramatic NPC conversations and present them to my players using the Spotlight system?

Other Entity Types

The Dialog and Spotlight system in TT-RPG transforms static NPC interactions into engaging, cinematic moments. You can craft multi-participant conversations, imbue NPCs with emotions, and then present these dialogs dramatically to your players, making every reveal and interaction impactful.

To create a dialog, go to your campaign's 'Dialogs' section. Here, you can define participants (including your AI-generated NPC tokens), set their emotional states, and write out their lines. The AI can even assist in generating dialog based on character traits and context. You can link these dialogs directly to specific maps or locations, ensuring they're ready when your party arrives.

When it's time for a crucial conversation during a live session, activate the 'Spotlight' feature. This will overlay the NPC's portrait and their current dialog line directly onto your players' second screens, creating a powerful visual focus. You control the pacing, advancing the dialog line by line, allowing your players to fully immerse themselves in the interaction. This feature is perfect for dramatic reveals, tense negotiations, or heartfelt confessions, ensuring your NPCs leave a lasting impression.
