Delete a thing type. This will cascade delete all things of this type.

Warning: Deleting a thing type will permanently remove all things associated with that type.

When a campaign is created, these default thing types are automatically generated:

• NPCs - Non-player characters
• Locations - Places and settings
• Items - Objects and equipment

Users can create custom thing types to organize their content according to their specific campaign needs:

• Organizations - Groups and factions
• Events - Significant occurrences
• Spells - Magic and abilities
• Vehicles - Transportation
• Deities - Gods and divine beings
• Planes - Alternate dimensions

• Thing type names should be descriptive and consistent
• Consider your campaign’s needs when creating custom types
• Use plural nouns for better organization (e.g., “NPCs” not “NPC”)
• Avoid overly specific categories that might have few items
