Encounter Tooling Prototype

Early notes on a small tabletop prep tool and what the project still needs before it earns a public release.

Highlights

  • Defined initial prep use cases for encounter pacing and printable notes.
  • Sketched a low-complexity MVP focused on GMs, not full character management.

The prototype is still small on purpose.

The current shape

I do not need a giant all-in-one tabletop platform. I need a focused helper that reduces prep friction for a real table.

Rough interaction map

Encounter seed
  -> threat notes
  -> terrain reminders
  -> reward hooks
  -> printable summary

That is enough to validate usefulness before expanding scope.
