- New top-level scenario-library/ directory, independent of convention events - System folders: call-of-cthulhu, brp, ringworld, stormbringer, other-games - Each with its own README and scenario index table - SCENARIO-LIBRARY-TEMPLATE.md for filing new scenarios - Updated master README to reflect dual-purpose repo structure

# RPG GM Repository — timevans666
|
||||
|

Scenario preparation files for all events run by **timevans666** at Chaosium Con UK 2026.
|
||||
A working repository for **scenario development, GM resources, and play history** across multiple game systems and conventions.

This repo has two distinct areas:
|

|

### 1. Convention Events
|

|

Scenario prep files tied to specific conventions. Each convention has its own section.

A permanent personal archive of RPG scenarios across all games — not tied to any specific event. Organised by game system. Use this to track what exists, what has been run, and what could be revisited or adapted.

## Working with Claude
|
||||
|
||||
Each scenario file contains sections for:
|
||||
- Event details & players
|
||||
- Premise
|
||||
- Scenario notes
|
||||
- Characters
|
||||
- Handouts
|
||||
- GM notes
|
||||
### Each session:
|
||||
1. Claude pulls the latest from GitHub at the start
|
||||
2. We work on scenarios, assets, or the library
|
||||
3. Claude pushes after every meaningful change
|
||||
|
||||
### Session workflow
|
||||
1. Claude pulls the latest from GitHub at the start of each session
|
||||
2. We work on scenarios together
|
||||
3. Claude pushes changes after every meaningful update
|
||||
### What can be worked on:
|
||||
- **Convention event scenario development** — building out `scenarios/event-XX-*` files
|
||||
- **GM apps** — HTML tools, character pickers, random generators
|
||||
- **Scenario artwork** — SVG illustrations for handouts or atmosphere
|
||||
- **Scenario library** — filing new scenarios, updating play history, indexing what exists

# Scenario Library
|
||||
|
||||
A personal archive of RPG scenarios written and run by **timevans666** across all games and conventions over time.
|
||||
|
||||
This is separate from specific convention events. It exists so there is a permanent, searchable record of every scenario — what it was, when it was run, what worked, and what can be revisited or adapted.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Organisation
|
||||
|
||||
Scenarios are filed by **game system**. Each system folder contains individual scenario files, plus a system-level reference sheet.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||

*(No event numbers — these are system-level files, not tied to a specific convention slot)*

||||
## Adding a New Scenario
|
||||
|
||||
1. Choose the correct system folder
|
||||
2. Create a file using the naming convention above
|
||||
3. Use `SCENARIO-LIBRARY-TEMPLATE.md` (in this folder) as your starting point
|
||||
4. Add a row to the index table above

||||
5. Push to GitHub
