Practical guides for Borg-family nights
Notes you can skim before a one-shot or hand to a co-referee.
Readable layouts, clear remote audio, and content notes before bleak scenes—craft, not extras.
One-shot zero for the orbit
Agree tone, bleed care, and which cousin book is on the table—before characters. Write them down.
Doom clocks and page budgets
Budget a four-hour spine. Cap optional complexity that turns every fight into a committee.
Scraped-class sheets that stay small
One want, one awful gear line, one doom hook—dated for guest referees.
Teaching without a lecture
Teach on the first roll that matters. Let the layout carry procedures; hand the glossary link.
One cousin one-shot run cleanly beats a folder of unread third-party PDFs on week one.
If a procedure adds ten minutes every fight and nobody likes it, cut it. Fairness beats sacred layout fidelity.
If a procedure adds ten minutes every fight and nobody likes it, cut it. Fairness beats sacred layout fidelity.
One-page house rulings for fail-forward and omens. If a call repeats, ink it.
Date your scraped-class picks, doom beats, and license notes. A guest referee should inherit a spine, not a vibe.
