Discover is Dream Scrolls' community catalog. It is a shared repository of ready-made scenarios, characters, lore books, and generation presets contributed by users and curators. It is publicly browsable — you do not need an account to explore and play content.
Discover Scenarios contains complete story setups that you can play immediately.
Click Clone on any scenario. Dream Scrolls will:
Each clone is fully independent. You can customise it freely without affecting the original published scenario.
If you have a .scenario.zip file (exported from Dream Scrolls), you can import it directly from the Discover Scenarios page via the Import Story option. See Stories for details on the export format.
If you own a published scenario, you can re-upload a .scenario.zip over it from its Discover detail page to replace its content (settings, characters, lore books, pictures) in place, rather than publishing a new copy. Anything that links to the scenario — such as a story or lore book that was cloned from it — stays linked, since the update keeps the same entry.
Discover Characters contains characters shared by the community.
Click Clone on any character card. Dream Scrolls copies the character to your library, including:
The clone is yours to edit and use in any story.
From your own character list, you can export a character as a CHARX file (.charx) — a CharacterCard V3 ZIP archive containing the character portrait, description, personality, and lore. This format is the native export of Dream Scrolls and is compatible with other tools that support CharacterCard V3. See Characters for more detail.
Discover Lore Books contains shared lore books.
Click Clone on any lore book card. Dream Scrolls copies the lore book and all its entries to your library. You can edit entries freely without affecting the original.
From your lore book list, export as JSON. The JSON file contains all entries with their labels, content, tags, weight, and permanent flag. Import via Lore Books → Import Lore Book or share with others.
Discover Presets contains shared generation presets — reusable bundles of prompt templates and generation parameters.
Click Clone to add a copy of your own under Config → Presets. You can then apply the preset to any story from the Generation settings.
If you own a published preset, you can edit it directly from its Discover detail page — the same form used for personal presets, including its model fields. Saving updates the live Discover entry, so anyone who clones it afterwards gets your changes; existing clones are unaffected.
From Config → Presets, you can:
Any logged-in user (not a Guest) can publish their own content to Discover.

Publishing the same item again — where "same" means the same name and the same author — updates the existing Discover entry rather than creating a duplicate. This is the intended workflow for maintaining your published content over time: edit your local copy, then publish again to push the update.
Some Discover entries are marked Official with a purple badge. Official items are curated and published by admins. They are not associated with any individual user account and appear prominently in Discover. You can clone Official content just like any other Discover entry.
