Turn session notes into a living map of who can help, hinder, or reveal the next lead.

Who it helps

Game masters who need campaign relationships at a glance, especially when factions and personal debts matter as much as combat.

How to use it

Rename the center for the party or a player character. Add labels such as “hires,” “owes,” and “wanted by” after each session.

Prep the next session

  1. Mark who has a reason to act now.
  2. Connect each clue to its keeper.
  3. Use the map to choose the next conversation.
