Sample Turnsheets


Below, you can find sample Turnsheets which are intended as examples of how one might go about writing a Turnsheet. More details about Turnsheets can be found here. For ideas on how you can engage with the setting, see the Play This If... page.

Sample Turnsheet 1: Political Intrigue

This turnsheet shows how someone may interact with others in Downtime in order to gain an advantage in the election. For more ideas, see Politics and Elections.

Major Action

This is your main task for the next two days and will get a longer write up from GMs.

What do you hope to gain?

I want the Butler to support me in the election.

How do you act to achieve this?

Relevant Quirks and items

Relevant Locations

Note: Be sure to check the map in Secretary's Missives to see which locations are currently accessible. However, there may still be methods you can try to reach other rooms…

Other PCs and NPCs involved

Minor Actions

A Minor Action is something that takes little time or effort to do, and doesn't advance the plot significantly. You may have two minor actions.

Note: If you really enjoy turnsheeting, you are also welcome to submit an IC version of letters you send as a minor action, but they will only receive a 1-2 line GM response. If you want a full GM written response, you will need to send a letter as a major action.

Have you promised anything to anyone?

Have you made a deal with anyone lately? Promised to give them an item or find information? Do you plan to follow through on it?

This section is intended to help both us, the GMs, and you the player to keep track of affiliations and promises made over the course of the game.

OC Thoughts

Take a moment to tell the GMs your OC thoughts! What did you achieve in uptime that we might have missed? Do you envision your character arc going in a certain direction? Is there an NPC you're keen to ballgown? Or even just ramble about your character!

Sample Turnsheet 2: Mysterious Corridors

This turnsheet shows how someone may go about exploring the mysteries of the palace. For more ideas, see Where are We?.

Major Action

This is your main task for the next two days.

What do you hope to gain?

I want to know more about the Palace, and try to find hidden rooms.

How do you act to achieve this?
