Overseer Studio is powerful because of a robust plugin system that are written using simple HTML, JS, CSS, or any other modern web technology. The plugin system can extend Overseer Studio in the following ways.

Datasets - Provide data from a static or dynamic source such as an API to other extensions
Extensions - Custom tiles a user can create and interact with
Locales - Add new languages to Overseer Studio
Prefabs - Reusable arrangements of one or more tiles
Templates - Premade GM screens a user can create
Themes - Add new themes to Overseer Studio

Plugins may contain any of the systems above and can define multiple of any kind. This means you can write a plugin that provides multiple encounters with templates and also provide any custom tiles included in those encounters with extensions.
