Watchkeep

The game fits onto a 3x5-inch index card. Keep it next to your character sheet and place a marker on the time of day your character is present.

The front of the card is a leminscate graph depicting an hourglass with various times of day split by day and night. On the reverse of the card is a short introduction to the card's rules and a poem.

You may use dice if you would prefer a random result. Roll any number of 1d6s and advance by the result.

Being in different times of day will likely affect how the world appears to you. Narrate how things are different.

Use Watchkeep to track the progression of the day in collaborative roleplaying games.

•

•

Place markers along the path and take turns to discover the world.

•

Narrate how the time of day changes your perception.

Watchkeep  is part of a series of tools designed to mechanise asynchronous narrative play - that is, one table's players and characters can be in different places or times.

Key & Token provides additional context for creating scenes and playing keywords in a scene. It comes with a simple character sheet. Use Watchkeep to keep track of your Key & Token characters' daily journeys.

Marauder is a tool to create point-crawl adventures and map networks of relationships. It doesn't plot the actual, real-world position of a narrative focus, though you can indicate things like distance.

Marauder uses the terms Vertices, Edges, and Weights. This terminology is borrowed from Graph Theory, but generally, people would refer to these as 'nodes'.

A narrative focus can be anything from a location, to a person or to an object. In play, you move character tokens between points on the map and interact with them through roleplay.

Myriad is a randomless narrative oracle system. Use it when playing GM-less, narrative games.
