Lore Bloat and Scope Management Chaos for TTRPG Worldbuilders

Summary

Worldbuilders, especially TTRPG game masters, accumulate vast, scattered lore built around individual characters and playstyles, then discover they have 'added too much' — an incoherent pile of interwoven concepts that lacks a unifying core and reads like 'just another D&D clone with everything thrown into one pot.' They face a painful dilemma: give players enough freedom to create diverse characters versus limiting content to preserve a unique, coherent setting. Existing tools offer no way to measure lore sprawl, identify redundant or contradictory entries, or find the balance between scope and cohesion. This pain is high-value and unsolved: creators would pay for a system that consolidates scattered notes, detects bloat, and helps them curate a focused, unique canon — directly aligned with Aetherfall Codex's promise of interconnected, organized lore.
