Guide: preparation and recap
From the last decision to the next session.
Prepare a Session with your main notes close at hand. After the game, record what happened. A Realm with a few entries is enough to start. You do not need the Keeper’s help to follow along.
1. Choose an unfinished thread
Choose a question from the previous session: Mira is still looking for the sea chart. Create a Quest or use an existing one. Record a few concrete tasks, such as asking Lio about the broken seal and checking the chart store.
2. Create the next Session
Open Sessions and create the next meeting. Add the real-life schedule when it is known. The in-world date is separate and should match your Realm’s calendar.
3. Keep the plan and agenda focused
Use the plan to describe possible situations. Use the agenda for points you want close at hand during play. Link Mira, Greyharbor and the Quest instead of copying their complete descriptions.
4. Record what actually happened
Record what the group decided and learned in the recap. Distinguish unanswered questions from established information. Update Quest tasks only where the group actually made progress.
5. Connect the important consequences
If something important happened, create a World Event. Record who was there and link the Session. You can then find the event in the World Graph and read the recap to see how it happened.
Pick up the story next time
Before the next game, open the recap and your unfinished Quest. Follow the links to the main characters and places. This brings the last session back to mind and helps you plan what comes next.
A home for your Realm
There’s already room for your first story.
Create your first Realm, add two characters and record what connects them. Your Atlavium can grow with your stories. Compendium features will remain free within your granted allowances.
