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.

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.

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

I want the Butler to support me in the election.

• I will find it and offer to have tea with him in the Staterooms
• I will ask him what he would want from a new Fate
• I want to promise him a favour in exchange for its vote. I feel there may be many advantages to getting the Staff on my side, and so I'm willing to let it set the terms of this favour.

• Secret
• National Identity

• The Staterooms

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…

• The Butler (NPC)

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.

• I would like to send a letter to an old teacher at my Collegium, and ask them for information on my election opponent

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.

• I want to make pamphlets to help advertise my campaign

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.

• I promised I’d help Fürge find some information on other election candidates, but I’ll probably just use that information for myself

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!

• My character absolutely despises Sir Pompilius
• I'm really enjoying how my character is interacting with the politics of the game!

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

This is your main task for the next two days.

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

• Look around the Banquet hall
• On the way there, I will check paintings and walls, looking for hidden switches
• I will keep an eye out for staff and try to avoid them, as to not raise suspicion
• If I run into anyone, I will pretend to be lost

• Observant
• Stealthy
• More Agency

• Banquet Hall
• Corridors

• The Staff NPCs

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.

• I’m going to redecorate my bedroom with some of my own artwork
• I send my pet to look for herbs that I could use to reverse-engineer my usual fate potion, in an attempt to avoid withdrawal symptoms.

• Lisa is going to help me with my character's research! Zie asked that I help her out with her research in return!

• I feel like Giselle is hiding something
• My character is feeling very antsy at the moment; they're not sure what to think of the Palace
