Creating Races on Notebook.ai
Humans can be joined by elves, orcs, werewolves, vampires, dragons, and many other races.
Creating races on Notebook.ai is easy.
To get started, just click Races under the "Worldbuilding" header in the site sidebar. You'll be able to see or edit all of your existing race pages and create new ones at any time. You can also customize your Race template for all of your pages here.
Search your races
If you've got a lot of races, you can quickly get around to the right one with Notebook.ai's full-text search. It searches your entire notebook for anything you wrote about that race.
You can also filter your races by tag, whether you've favorited that page, and which universe it's in.
Private by default
Your ideas are valuable. Every race you create in Notebook.ai is owned by you, completely private by default, and only accessible to you.
But of course, you also have full control over that privacy and can share any race page you want, however you want, whenever you want.
Races are a Premium page
Race notebook pages require an active Premium subscription to create, but users on free plans can view and edit their existing race pages at any time.
Notebook.ai is your personal worldbuilding notebook; any page you create is yours forever and you'll never lose access to any part of it for any reason — even if you downgrade to a free account in the future.
face Get a head start with a detailed, customizable race template
You can fill out as little or as much as you'd like on every new race. You'll see progress indicators every time you edit it to show where you can make progress on and our system will intelligently generate questions for you around the site that will automatically save your answers to the proper place on your race page.
Templates are also fully customizable across every race in your notebook.
You can browse the default template for races here; just click a category to see the questions it starts with.

To focus on a single universe, simply select it from the top-left dropdown of any page.
