Card titles

Start the title with the play name — capitalisation and spaces are fine. Anything after a dash, bracket, or other separator is ignored: Certified Mail — day 3, certified_mail (act 1).

Optional card metadata

Add any of these to the card's description field, space-separated:

Key	Example	What it does
phase	phase=b	Arc phase hint (pre/build/esc/thresh/climax/reveal/close)
day	day=21	Calendar day (for lead time checks)
gm	gm=e	Group mode override (solo/ensemble/lottery)
ep	ep=0.15	Expected participation rate (0–1)
early_exit	early_exit=graceful_release	Graceful close play for initiation arcs

Arc types

Investigation — participant discovers a hidden truth
Initiation — threshold crossing; must define an early exit
Persecution — participant is pursued or tested
Reckoning — confrontation with something from the past
Conspiracy — uncovering a hidden structure
Test — skill or courage ordeal

Pacing (beat types)

Type	What it means
Ramp	Build tension — increases stakes gradually
Spike	High-intensity peak — the moments that matter most
Hold	Dwell — let the experience settle
Rest	Decompress — release tension before the next build
Transition	Frame shift — move between registers
Liminal	Threshold crossing — always lands (mask, ceremony)
