Nameless Echoes: Day 1 - Hourly Structure (Gen Con 2025)
🕰️ 1st Hour (Welcome & Setup)
- Welcome and introductions.
- Hand out character sheets and initial clues.
- 1-on-1 Storyteller meetings to deliver secrets, personal connections, and motivations.
- Overview of the Capitol Node crisis and initial murder mystery setup (William Burke & Tori Redford).
🕰️ 2nd & 3rd Hours (The Murder Council)
- The Council of the Erased convenes: Mages, Kindred, Garou, and Fae factions collide.
- Players share discoveries, question NPCs, and reveal (or withhold) secrets.
- Tension builds as the first Paradox glitches emerge—flickering signs, looping whispers, and reality fractures.
- Factions debate: Who killed Burke and Redford? Who benefits from their deaths?
🕰️ 4th Hour (12-Hour Downtime – Players Take One Action)
- The story fast-forwards 12 in-game hours.
- Each player declares one action their character takes during this downtime—examples:
- Research at the Capitol Archives.
- Dreaming in the Freehold.
- Investigating a Node or crime scene.
- Making a pact with another NPC.
- Scouting the ritual site.
- Meditating to gain insight.
- These actions may grant Echo Tokens, clues, or additional challenges.
🕰️ 5th - 6th Hour (The Ritual Confrontation)
- Crisis at the Capitol Node: Players face the Nephandi, corrupted Technocrats, and spiritual backlash.
- Stop or redirect the ritual—failure risks the Nameless gaining a foothold.
- Echo Glitches: Players may swap with alternate versions of themselves or temporarily gain/lose traits.
🕰️ 7th–8th Hours (Resolution & The Digi-8 Revelation)
- Aftermath: The ritual’s success or failure reshapes the local Consensus.
- NPCs react: alliances shift, accusations fly.
- Digi-8's voice emerges—static-laced, fragmented, unfinished. It references the Ghost Ship in the Digital Web, hints at Kronovore, and murmurs cryptic warnings about the Nameless.
- Players receive final clues: fragments of code, eerie numbers (1.36791013192342), and glitched visions of their future selves.
