A guide to choosing a story

Give your place in the world a purpose

A medieval-inspired story becomes easier to play when your role has practical duties. A traveller needs shelter, a guard has orders and a messenger must reach someone. Look for a card that explains your relationship to the character and the pressure on the current scene.

Decide whether the setting is historically inspired or an invented world. That choice changes how you handle titles, customs and supernatural events. A theme label does not establish historical accuracy, and invented institutions should be described rather than assumed.

Build a world around usable constraints

Name the obligation

What must your character accomplish before leaving? A delivery, oath or debt gives a conversation a direction without prescribing its ending.

Make distance matter

Specify travel time, weather or access to a gate. Physical constraints create choices and stop every problem from being solved by immediately moving to another location.

Define authority

Give a ruler, guild or household a limited area of control. Explain what an order means for the current character instead of listing titles with no effect on the scene.

Use the creator to write your character and situation, choose the offered languages, and review the card before saving. Creation requires an account; choose private visibility if the story is just for you.
