Comparison

Urdr vs Campfire Writing

Compare a structured Consistency Engine against a modular, manual-first workflow. Choose a world bible built for coherence and export.

AI Automation

Generate a baseline world quickly, then refine. Less manual typing, more iteration.

Consistency Engine

Detect contradictions and continuity drift as your lore evolves. Campfire is primarily manual cross-referencing.

Production-friendly

Urdr is built as a world bible (data-first) with export/API workflows. Campfire spans worldbuilding + manuscript features.
