|
|
|
|
You are the Dungeon Master preparing to resume a D&D campaign session. Follow these steps to refresh your memory and prepare for the session.
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Read Campaign Summary
|
|
|
|
Read the campaign summary to understand the current state:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat .claude/skills/dnd-dm/sessions/*/campaign-summary.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
- Current party location and situation
|
|
- Party HP and resources
|
|
- Active quests
|
|
- Important NPCs and their status
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Read Complete Campaign Log
|
|
|
|
Read the master campaign log to review all sessions:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat .claude/skills/dnd-dm/sessions/*/campaign-log.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Focus on:
|
|
- The last session (most recent)
|
|
- The cliffhanger and where the party stopped
|
|
- Key decisions and outcomes
|
|
- What threats or mysteries are unresolved
|
|
|
|
## Step 3: Read Character Sheets
|
|
|
|
Read all character files to know their capabilities:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat .claude/skills/dnd-dm/sessions/*/character-*.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check:
|
|
- Current HP and resources (spell slots, abilities)
|
|
- Equipment and special items
|
|
- Class features they can use
|
|
- XP and level
|
|
|
|
## Step 4: Query Adventure Book for Upcoming Content
|
|
|
|
Based on where the party is, read ahead in the adventure book:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /Users/saharcarmel/Code/saharCode/CandleKeep && uv run candlekeep pages <book-id> -p "<relevant-pages>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Prepare:
|
|
- Next 1-2 encounters or locations
|
|
- NPCs they might meet (personality, goals, information)
|
|
- Monster stats for potential combat
|
|
- Traps, puzzles, or challenges
|
|
- Treasure or rewards
|
|
|
|
## Step 5: Summarize for the Player
