Duplicate this folder to start a new module · then mark it 🌊 Fluid

How to use this

Copy pages/modules/_module-template/ to pages/modules/<your-slug>/, then fill in the sections below and swap the marker to 🌊 Fluid. Build each scene by duplicating scene-template (and NPCs from npc-template) into the same folder, keeping links relative. Finally, add a card for the module to the Modules hub. Delete this box when you're done.

At a Glance

For: How many characters, what level, how long a session
Where: The place, and which House region it sits in
Tone: Combat-forward · investigation · social — the shape of the night
The job: One line: what the party is hired or drawn to do
The truth: One line: what's really going on beneath the job
Ends when: The condition that closes the session

Premise

TODO — the situation the party walks into, in a paragraph. Ground it in canon (a House, a spirit, a custom) without restating the bible. End on the concrete reason they're here.

Read aloud — the pitch TODO — boxed text you'll actually read at the table to set the hook.

Behind the screen — the truth

TODO — what's really happening, the hidden motives, and the secret the quest-giver (or the world) is keeping. Note any canon a knowledgeable NPC would name that the party won't.

Ways to win. TODO — the obvious resolution and at least one alternative (a rite, a bargain, a betrayal), and what each seeds for later.

Hooks — getting them in

Coin / contract. TODO — the mercenary reason.
A personal thread. TODO — the reason for a PC with the right tie.
A strange sign. TODO — the eerie reason that pulls the curious.

Scene Flow

TODO — the scenes in rough order, as cards linking to their run-pages. Duplicate the block below per scene.

Scene One

TODO — one-line description: the arrival, the beat, the encounter band.

Scene Two

TODO — the middle: complication, investigation, or the crawl.

iii

Scene Three

TODO — the climax and how it resolves.

Key NPC: TODO — link the quest-giver / antagonist page here.

Session Clock

TODO — if the module runs on a clock (a tide, a ritual, a pursuit), describe it here and how to advance it. Delete this section if the module isn't timed.

Reading the clock

TODO — what each segment means and when the party should start to feel the pressure.

Encounter Budget

TODO — state the party (size × level) and the 2024 DMG per-character XP budget for it, then tag each fight to a band. Level references: per character, Low/Moderate/High XP × party size = your targets.

Scene	Encounter	Roster	XP	Band
i	TODO	TODO	`—`	Low
ii	TODO	TODO	`—`	Moderate
iii	TODO (climax)	TODO	`—`	High

Monster Roster

TODO — the custom blocks this module needs, all 🌊 Fluid. Full stats live in the scene where each is used.

Creature	Type	CR	XP	Block in
TODO	—	`—`	`—`	—

Rewards & Advancement

Coin. TODO — the fee and any found treasure.
Salvage / items. TODO — one item to fit your table.
Advancement. TODO — milestone level, or the XP total split across the party.
The soft reward. TODO — the favour, ally, or thread earned by the clever ending.

Scaling Your Table

Fewer / fragile players. TODO — what to cut or soften.
More / hardened players. TODO — what to add.
Running long? TODO — the optional scene to drop.
Different table style? TODO — how to reskin toward more or less combat.

Canon Touchpoints

TODO — link the canon pages this module leans on, so it stays consistent (referenced, never restated):

Canon hub — link the specific entries (House, spirit, custom) this module uses.
