The core rules

The starting point for documenting the shared structure of a trial.

Draft template

Draft template — not official rules. This entry provides authoring prompts until approved TotV content is supplied.

Before a trial

Authoring prompt: define participation, preparation, starting conditions, and the decisions players make before beginning.

During a trial

Authoring prompt: document the progression loop, available choices, and how encounters resolve without relying on a specific game engine.

Ending a trial

Authoring prompt: specify success, defeat, withdrawal, and what carries forward. No conditions have been established by this template.
