## 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.

What happened (replace with your session)

The party arrives and meets the hook

The first problem, and how the table solved it

The twist

The ending and the cost

Open threads the players can still follow

0%

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
