The campaign and play record. Where the rest of the wiki describes the world, Chronicle describes the game played in it. These entries grow during play rather than during prep.

A PC is still an Entity (Character). The Party is a Chronicle entry that links to its PC members — that way a PC who dies, retires, or rolls into another campaign keeps a clean Character page.

Subtypes

  • Campaign — a whole game: GM, players, system, start date, world, current status. One entry per campaign.
  • Arc — a multi-session storyline within a campaign. May be planned or emergent.
  • Session — a single play session: real date, in-world dates, attendees, summary, events.
  • Recap — narrative-style summary of one or more sessions, often player-facing and in voice.
  • Thread — an open question or commitment the table is tracking (“Who poisoned Lord Vael?”, “Find the Iron Crown.”, “Mira owes the witch a name.”).
  • Party — the PC group as a play-construct: members, current location, shared resources, current objective.

Common relationships

  • Session: occurred at Place, featured Entity, advanced Thread, is part of Arc.
  • Thread: opened in Session, involves Entity / Place / Object, relates to Lore.
  • Party: includes Character (PC), currently at Place, pursuing Thread.
  • Campaign: contains Arc, set in World or Region.
