Getting Started

RPEngine (RPE) is a next-generation roleplay event system addon for World of Warcraft. It replaces manual bookkeeping and spreadsheet workflow with an integrated, flexible toolkit for both players and Dungeon Masters. RPEngine builds on experience from earlier addons (such as RPToolkit) and focuses on extensibility, clarity, and campaign-friendly features.

Setup Process

The setup process can be summarised in the following steps:

• Activate the correct ruleset for your roll system.

• Activate the required datasets.

• Run /rpe setup.

When you first load RPEngine, you will have three default datasets available: “DefaultClassic”, “Default5e”, and “DefaultWarcraft”. At this time, only DefaultClassic is fully functional. Likewise, you will have access to the “DefaultClassic” ruleset.

Activating Datasets

Type /rpe data to open the Dataset Manager. Click edit, then select the dataset you want to activate. Click the activate button. You can activate multiple datasets.

Activating Rulesets

Type /rpe rules to open the Ruleset Manager. Click Load Ruleset to switch rulesets.

Running Setup

The character setup wizard, /rpe setup, requires a setup wizard to be created in a dataset. This will be done by your DM or campaign manager, however, if you want to set one up for yourself, please refer to the dataset-related pages in this guide.
