Complete starter experiences

The Lantern Gathering · Fantasy

The old border lantern fails to light as the gathering begins. Six conversation openings revolve around local knowledge, favors, remembered symbols, disputed promises, and simple companionship. Players can choose arcs about trust, belonging, or responsibility, then work together to restore the Border Lantern.

Possible ending: a restored warning point and an organizer-reviewed BROADSIDE draft. If the project remains unfinished, night falls with the lantern dark but the group knows what is missing and who intends to continue.

The Neighborhood Relay · Cyberpunk

A community relay used for local warnings has gone quiet. Connection cards explore returned data, old partners, conflicting loyalties, and low-band introductions. Personal arcs focus on trust, autonomy, and redemption. The group can bring the relay online through evidence, resources when available, and reviewed coordination.

Possible ending: an independent neighborhood signal and a draft public notice that still requires organizer publication.

The Water Watch · Wasteland

A damaged water beacon can no longer warn the settlement. Conversation openings revolve around road knowledge, salvage favors, convoy memories, belonging, and uncertain water rumors. Arcs explore hope, belonging, and leadership. The shared project restores the beacon and establishes who will keep the watch.

Possible ending: a functioning watch system and a shared responsibility for the supply. An unfinished ending is still a valid fictional outcome, not a player failure.

What ORACLE installs

• Six themed connection-card templates.
• Three optional personal-arc templates.
• One community project with contribution routes and bounded consequences.
• A printable organizer run sheet with assignment suggestions and an alternate unfinished ending.

Installation never creates player responses, private arc progress, reflections, contributions, donations, rewards, or consent. Those remain separate and account-bound.
