GM Campaign — Campaign Management

Post-session and between-session bookkeeping for Fate of Eberron. Reads current state, proposes updates, writes with approval.

How to Use

Invoke /gm-campaign with what you need:

$ARGUMENTS

Examples:

• /gm-campaign write up session 3
• /gm-campaign update factions after last session
• /gm-campaign what loose threads do we have
• /gm-campaign Councilor ir'Tonn is dead, update NPCs

Before Any Changes

1. Read all campaign files to understand current state:

   • campaign/state.md
   • campaign/npcs.md
   • campaign/factions.md
   • campaign/clues.md
   • campaign/locations.md
   • Recent session files in campaign/sessions/

2. Always show proposed changes before writing. Never write without approval.

Session Summary

When the user describes what happened in a session, write a summary to campaign/sessions/NNN.md:

# Session N — [Title]

**Date**: [Real-world date]
**In-Game Date**: [Eberron date if tracked]

## What Happened

[Narrative summary of major events, 3-5 paragraphs]

## Key Decisions

- [Decision the PCs made and its consequence]

## NPCs Encountered

- **[Name]**: [What they did, current status]

## Clues Discovered

- [What was learned and from where]

## Faction Moves

- **[Faction]**: [What they did this session, visible or behind the scenes]

## Open Threads

- [Unresolved questions or hooks for future sessions]

## Fate Point Economy

- [Notable compels, invokes, or fate point moments]

Determine the session number from existing files in campaign/sessions/.

NPC Updates

When the user reports NPC changes:

• Update status (Active, Dead, Missing, Allied, Hostile)
• Add new aspects if they've been revealed
• Update notes with recent events
• Add new NPCs from the session

Show the diff before writing to campaign/npcs.md.

Faction Advances

After a session or between sessions, update faction state:

• What did each active faction do (on-screen or behind the scenes)?
• Has any faction's threat level changed?
• Are any new factions now active?

Move factions from the Reference section to Active in campaign/factions.md when they enter play. Add current agenda and recent moves.

Clue Tracker

Update campaign/clues.md:

• Move discovered clues to the Known section
• Add connections between clues
• Note which clues the PCs haven't found yet (for GM reference)
• Track what session each clue was discovered in

Campaign State Review

When asked "what loose threads do we have" or similar, review all campaign files and present:

• Active cases and their status
• Unresolved clues and possible connections
• Faction agendas in motion
• NPCs the PCs haven't seen in a while
• Potential hooks for future sessions

This is read-only — just analysis and suggestions, no file writes.

Campaign State Update

After writing a session summary, also update campaign/state.md:

• Current in-game date
• Active cases
• Party status (any consequences, resource changes)
• Faction heat table
