Practical guides for Keepers and investigators

Spoiler labels for new scenarios. Rules talk separate from bleed talk.

Session zero for investigative horror

Weekly Keeper or rotating chair: write tone (pulp vs purist) and content notes once.

Clocks, resources, and pacing

House rulings on one page. Repeat calls get ink, not another argument.

NPC and faction sheets that stay small

Readable handouts, clear remote audio, content notes before bleak scenes—craft, not extras.

Teaching the table without a lecture

Teach on the first roll that matters. Hand the glossary link; do not monologue the chapter.

Consent and pacing belong in session zero—same seriousness as the occupation skills.

Log clue states and SAN spends with dates. A guest Keeper should inherit a trail, not a vibe.

Also useful: Resources, Community, and FAQ.

Keep going

Use the guides hub when you want procedures, the glossary when vocabulary blocks a new player, and the resources page when you need outbound authority reading. Community notes explain discussion norms; updates logs what changed on this desk over time.

Cross-link thoughtfully to sibling domains when your campaign drifts into a neighboring system or genre. Quiet footer links point to WOGD and Pop Culture USA for operator context—never as a spam wall of unrelated sites.

Good tables treat prep budgets, safety tools, and recap rituals as seriously as character sheets. Write those habits down. Share credit for freelancers and designers when you discuss tools that shaped your night. Come back when you need a calm second opinion on orientation—not when you need invented product prices.
