Session Lifecycle

From Scheduling to Recap

Schedule sessions with email reminders. Run a four-step debrief after each game. Generate session recaps your party will actually read — all in one workflow.

Session Scheduling with Email Reminders

Set your next session date, add notes for the group, and let Quill handle reminders. Scroll gets a 3-day heads-up email. Tome and Grimoire unlock 7-day and 48-hour reminders plus recurring schedules — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — so you never have to reschedule the same game twice.

Four-Step Debrief Wizard

When the session ends, the debrief wizard walks you through four steps: Quick Pulse to rate the session, Scene Walkthrough to recap each scene in order, Hooks & Notes to capture key moments and plant seeds for next time, and Generate Recap to produce a polished summary. Everything is saved to your campaign history.

Session Timer & Live Tracking

A live elapsed timer runs in the session panel while your game is active — minutes and seconds when the session is short, hours and minutes when it runs long. The final duration appears on the debrief summary. A coach mark nudges you toward the End Session button after 20 minutes so your debrief data stays fresh.

Session Recaps

After debrief, Quill generates a narrative recap from your scene notes and debrief answers. Send it to your players so everyone remembers what happened — even the ones who zone out during combat. Tome gets 10 recaps per month, Grimoire gets 30. On Grimoire, recaps feed into the campaign wiki for long-term NPC memory.
