Session Lifecycle
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.
Debrief free: recaps on Tome+
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). Set it once.
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.
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.
When you click Start Session, Quill shifts to live mode. Navigate your prepped scenes and beats in the sidebar. Open the Battle Tracker inline without leaving your notes. Ambient audio tracks start when you activate a scene. Everything you built in prep is one click away at the table.
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 recaps per month. On Grimoire, recaps feed into the campaign wiki for long-term NPC memory.
The session lifecycle covers everything from scheduling your next game to capturing what happened after. It includes session scheduling with email reminders, a live session timer, a four-step debrief wizard, and session recaps.
Yes. All tiers can schedule sessions and receive a 3-day reminder email. Tome and Grimoire tiers unlock recurring schedules (weekly, biweekly, monthly) and additional reminders at 7 days and 48 hours before the session.
The four-step debrief walks you through: Quick Pulse (rate how the session went), Scene Walkthrough (recap each scene), Hooks & Notes (capture key moments and set up the next session), and Generate Recap (Quill generates a summary your players can read). Debrief is free on all tiers. Generated recaps require Tome or Grimoire.
After completing the debrief, Quill uses your scene notes and debrief answers to generate a narrative recap of the session. Tome gets 10 recaps per month, Grimoire gets 30. On Grimoire, recaps auto-populate the campaign wiki for long-term memory. Tome users can add wiki pages manually.
