Adding an NPC, who can re-appear with the same name and appearance in a later encounter. Adding variety to the comic text, varying the text by the personality types of the speaker. Creating a more complex encounter, which has a choice. Creating your own event with relationship choices and sharing it as a mod.

Data Format Overview (A broad overview of the files in Wildermyth and how they work together).

In order to understand the structure of the data and tools, these are probably the best starting places (which are also linked to on the editor landing page): Feel free to duplicate existing things as a starting place for your own mods (we certainly do!) From there, you can see all the events, abilities, aspects, campaigns, items, and monsters used in the core game. The Content and Comics Editor is probably the first thing you'll want to look at. For example, if you wanted to modify the assets/data/balance/campaignBalance.json file, you would create a file at mods/user//assets/data/balance/campaignBalance.json. Mods are stored in mods/user/, with a parallel file structure to the core game. Most of Wildermyth's data is stored as json files. When creating a mod of any kind, the first thing you'll usually want to do is go into the editor from the Wildermyth main menu (Tools > Editor), and create a new mod from either the Content and Comics Editor (Mods > Create New Mod) or the Steam Workshop page (Create New Mod button).
