- Click "Edit content" to edit the content of the episode.
- If you chose "season", please first create an "Episode" by clicking "Create an episode" and giving it a name (Ex: Episode 1)

Let's first create a character. On the right of the "From" field, please click the "create" link to create a new character. Give your character a name and optionally a description (only visible to authors) and an avatar or a color if your wish, then click "Create". The popup will close and you can then select it from the "From" field dropdown. Feel free to create as many characters as you want, bearing in mind, that for the benefit of players, characters should be introduced so they know who they are speaking with.
