The End
When the campaign closes, The End turns the whole of Shadow of the Wolf into a graphic novel — one chapter per session — assembled from your session transcripts and journals, the character brand sheets, and newly-drawn comic art. You get two things: a web reader the players can page through, and a print-ready PDF you can have bound into keepsake copies.
This page only explains how it works. All of the actual buttons live on the production page.
Open the Graphic Novel workspace →How a chapter gets made
Prep Graphic Novel
One click reviews the richest source for each session — the recorded transcript when there is one, otherwise the journal — and drafts a comic script for every chapter, plus an estimate of the page count, the image-generation cost, and the print cost.
Read & edit the script
Each chapter is laid out as pages and panels with narration and dialogue. Read it, tweak any line, and approve. Nothing expensive runs until you have okayed the words.
Model sheets
Each character gets one style-locked reference drawing in the book’s gritty inked style and their own signature color palette. Every panel of that character is drawn from it, so faces stay consistent.
Panels
The script’s panels are drawn one at a time. Approve the ones you like; re-roll the ones you don’t. Every image is charged to the Gemini (gn) line on the Campaign budget so you can watch the cost.
Pages & PDF
Approved panels flow into comic pages with caption boxes and speech balloons, and compile into the web reader and downloadable PDFs (per chapter and the whole book) from the nav bar at the top of the workspace.
Readiness badges
Each session shows a badge for how much source text it has. A thin journal makes a thin chapter, so the badge tells you which sessions want a fuller transcript or journal before they will make a good chapter:
- Green — plenty of source text; ready for a full chapter.
- Amber — thin; the script will dramatize more to fill the pages.
- Red — missing; record/transcribe or write the journal first.
Publishing & printing
When you flip the switch, a The Endcircle appears on the players’ Journey banner that opens the finished web reader, with a button at the bottom to buy a printed copy. The print-ready PDF is built for a standard comic trim and full-color interior — upload it to a short-run printer (Mixam gives the best quality for a small batch) to order the keepsake copies.
