How the people in this building talk. Standing context — read whenever an NPC opens their mouth, and skim before every session.

The default rules for a grim run. Every roll can be won; nothing is won for free. Characters do not run out of hit points, they run out of room — conditions stack, perks burn out, and the horde does not get tired. Tuned independently of any continuity; swap the storyline without touching these numbers.

The running ledger for this campaign. Append to it; do not rewrite it. Everything the crew has actually changed is recorded here, and the loop only becomes visible to the people who keep the record honestly.
