This template is used for Session Prep pages to capture information for upcoming sessions.

How to Use

To create a new session prep page, use the following syntax:

{{Session Prep
| campaign = 
| session_date = 
| location = 
| synopsis = 
| summary = 
| key_npcs = 
| encounters = 
| treasures = 
| hooks = 
| notes = 
| previous = 
| interludes = 
| planned_scenes = 
| cliffhanger = 
| random_encounters = 
}}

Replace the placeholder values with the actual information for your upcoming session.

  • **campaign**: The name of the campaign.
  • **session_date**: The date of the session.
  • **location**: The primary location for the session.
  • **synopsis**: A brief overview of the session's main events.
  • **summary**: A more detailed summary of the session's events.
  • **key_npcs**: A list of key NPCs involved in the session. Use [[ ]] pr the NPC template for each NPC.
  • **encounters**: A list of potential encounters (combat, social, exploration).
  • **treasures**: A list of potential treasures or rewards.
  • **notes**: Any additional notes or reminders for the DM.
  • **interludes**: Descriptions of optional interlude scenes to use between main events.
  • **planned_scenes**: Descriptions of the main planned scenes for the session.
  • **cliffhanger**: A description of the cliffhanger to end the session.
  • **random_encounters**: A table or list of potential random encounters.



Previously...

What happened last session?

Interludes

Use these when the pacing slows down and you need to shake things up.

Scene Title

Planned Events

Scene Title

Describe the scene's key events, locations, and NPCs involved. Include any potential challenges or opportunities for the players.

Cliffhanger

End the adventure on a cliffhanger so the players want to come back to find out what happens...

Random Encounters

Key NPC's

Use the NPC's title in traditional wikilink format, or transclude the NPC data directly.
