Getting started
Your first two weeks at high tier
A calm path for tables climbing into high-tier open-rules play.
Day one
Motifs can brief a night. They are not a shopping list you must empty onto the table.
Pick a scope
One legendary toolkit, one lair beat, one spotlight pass—enough for a high-tier night.
Teach the table
One-page house rulings for high-tier edge cases. Repeat calls get ink.
After session one
One-page house rulings for high-tier edge cases. Repeat calls get ink.
Track legendary uses, lair turns, and spotlight like hit points—they decide whether the night sings.
Spoiler labels for finales. Separate rules talk from fiction talk. Escalate to mods.
Date boss kits, legendary tool choices, and SRD revision used. Co-referees need the toolkit.
Guides for high-tier craft; Glossary for legendary vocabulary; Resources for primary doors.
Borrow a spotlight checklist or lair beat—leave closed setting IP out of any public 'open rules' claim.
