One-Shot Session Recap Template for GMs
Send your players one page after the session
Players forget names, clues and loose ends by next week. This template gives you one link to share: what happened, who they met, what is still open, and what you need from them before the next game. Works for any system.
Open threads the players can still follow
Name of the NPC who owes the party a favour
The item nobody identified
The place the party did not visit
The question the villain left unanswered
Who they met
| Name | Role | What they want | Attitude |
|---|---|---|---|
| NPC one | Quest giver | Safe passage | Friendly |
| NPC two | Rival | The same prize | Hostile |
| NPC three | Witness | To stay out of it | Nervous |
