Rooms & encounters

Describe a room by its purpose, objectives, and connections—not its engine.

Draft template

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

Room definition

Authoring prompt: record the room type, purpose, entry conditions, and possible outcomes.

Encounter definition

Authoring prompt: describe objectives, behavior, hazards, and resolution. Keep implementation-specific enemies and numerical stats in adaptation notes.

Worthiness beyond power

Authoring prompt: describe the qualities an encounter demands without assuming that offensive power guarantees success. Let adversity create opportunities for growth while preserving each boss’s own motives and personality; do not make every boss a conscious teacher.
