The Web
Every named person and the lines between them · every thread and when it pays · as of the top of session 8
At a Glance
- What
- Two views of the same campaign. The web says who is tied to whom. The grid says when each thread is planted, turned and paid.
- The web
- Thirty-five people, coloured by faction. A solid line has happened. A dashed line is still to come. A hollow node has no line yet.
- The grid
- One row per thread, from In Play and the Weave. One column per session, then per act. A cell is a plant, a turn or a payoff.
- Read it for
- People with no lines, and rows with plants and no payoff. Those are the next decisions.
- Upkeep
- When a dashed line fires, make it solid. When a thread pays, fill the cell. Jack decides the lines; this page draws them.

What it says — 2026-11-01
- Five people have no line. Bess, Ma Silva, Otto Rask, Rosa Ashu and Halim Bram were handed to the players at character creation and the story has not used them. Yusuf Kar got his first line 2026-11-01: Dita tells him about the forgery.
- Dita is the busiest node after the party. Seven lines. She is the hinge of act one whether or not she is its villain.
- Every row has a payoff. The four that had none were decided 2026-11-01: Dita’s two, Jory after the fight, and Toto’s cousin.
- Delta and Champ have one line each. Champ’s second, to Toto’s cousin, is dashed.
