This Handbook is to explain how the project works, by explaining each filetype, and what should be happening during turns as pre- and postprocessing, so you, as a player can make sure everything works correctly.
Campaign Time
Changes time as you play, changes picture according to day-time (Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night), and weather.
Weathergets rolled every day at 6 AM.
Storybook
Memory Parchment - Keeps current threads of what happened lately to each character.
Current Scene - Counts each accepted in-story GM response once. Its summary is a preview of the whole current segment, at most 400 characters; its description keeps a compact account of the decisions, discoveries, consequences and unresolved business. Both are rewritten as the segment develops rather than copied from individual turns. OOC and rejected retries do not count.
Story Log - Keeps what has happened during play, during scenes, gets archived once turn_counter of Current Scene turns 8. Naming should be S## - scene_name format.
Chapter - 10 archived Story Logs create a Chapter. Naming should be Chapter # (S##-S##)
Character files (DIY)
Character Memories - Every major thing that happened to the character before you started to play this project. Should not be written over.
Relationship Profiles - Keep each person’s current view of the other, meaningful changes, agreements and boundaries. Key facts are concise lasting facts about the pair, rather than a record of every exchange. An NPC’s first meaningful impression can establish supported starting values up to 50 normally or 100 in extreme cases; later changes develop slowly. Your character’s feelings remain yours to state.
Character Sheet - Stores capabilities, voice renditions (how they talk), goals, motives, likes and dislikes, all to make sure narration follows the person's character. Fill out yours accordingly, if you want your character to act without input.
