The Chronicle — Never Forget

Every campaign gets its own Chronicle series: one file per volume in /Chronicles/. It tracks big events and milestones so the GM doesn't forget.

The rule

Update it on a fixed beat — no skipping:

• After every 4 GM responses, add 1–3 lines: what changed, who saw it, what's now open.
• After every battle, add 1–3 lines immediately: who won, what it cost, what the world noticed.

That's it. One line each. If it didn't change the story, it doesn't go in.

Volumes

• A volume holds about 50 entries (or one arc, whichever comes first). When it's full, close it with a 3-line recap and start Volume 2, Volume 3, and so on.
• Name them <Campaign> Vol. 1, <Campaign> Vol. 2. Carry open threads forward — the new volume opens with them.
• Old volumes are read-only history. Never edit them except to fix a name.

Sections (per volume)

• Milestones — what the party did (met, broke, saved, lost).
• Big Events — what the world saw (fires, deaths, betrayals + fallout like Heat).
• Open Threads — what's unresolved. Bring it back within 2 sessions or drop it.

Start one

Create a Chronicle file, copy the Example Chronicle, rename it <Campaign> Vol. 1. Done.
