Dated notes on what changed on this desk.
2026-09 — Initial 10-page launch
Good epic open-rules nights come from shared tier expectations and honest document limits, not PDF hoarding.
For a chapter night: one tier-appropriate goal players can push, one domain complication, one calm off-ramp if energy dips.
Talk pacing, consent, and prep load before you promise a three-year finale on an open rules spine.
What we will revise next
Date domain ledgers, faction clocks, and which open document revision you used. Guest GMs inherit paper, not vibes.
Readable arc boards, clear remote audio, and content notes before bleak high-tier scenes—craft, not extras.

If a high-tier subsystem slows every fight without raising stakes, cut it. Fairness beats sacred tome fidelity.
