Climax and Resolution Seeds

 Seeds for Climax Scenes

Knowing a scene will provide a revelation already provides some direction for a scene.

It is often helpful however to have more specific seeds to work with.

Here are a few ideas that can be used to seed an Revelation scene. These are examples. For the best results, create a custom list (for the campaign as a whole, or even to suit the current situation within a scene)

There are 6 seed ideas, so you can either choose one that fits the situation or pick one randomly by rolling a. D6.

As always, if a seed doesn't fit them either ignore it (leaning on other seeds instead) or reroll it.

1-3) epic challenge.

Create a challenge scene with appropriately epic stakes. The outcome should lead to resolution of the session.

4-6) epic revelation

Create a revelation scene. This should probably include some kind of challenge, and the outcome should lead to resolution of the session.

Seeds for Resolution scenes

This should follow naturally from the climax, using the result of that scene as a seed. The sole purpose of the resolution should be to tie things up and prepare the ground for future story seeds.

HOWEVER you should check using your GME to see if there is instead a surprise twist.

If a twist happens, generate a second climax scene - things are not as finished as they seemed. If necessary you can follow this with another resolution scene, or you can simply wrap things up in a single scene.
