Cutscenes Folder

This folder contains narrative cutscenes that are delivered to players between sessions, typically via email or other communication channels.

What are Cutscenes?

Cutscenes are narrative handouts about off-stage events - things happening in the world that the PCs aren't present for, but which inform the larger story and create dramatic tension.
