Everywhere a campaign talks to itself outside the session: the Discussions board and a
thread, the Talk tab on an article and on a session, and Table rules & safety. None of it
exists today; it is #654, #121 and the Talk tabs #656 accepted.
It comes first in lane 6 because two things drawn here are used everywhere after it. The
thread is one design, not three. And the “who can see this” picker, built once here, is the
one the wiki’s GM blocks, map markers, reveals and handouts will all use. The wiki itself follows as lanes 6b to
6d.
Same campaign: Dana runs The Amberwake Accord; Priya, Marcus, Tomás, Ines and Ade play in it.

Reviewed, and settled
Settled before drawing
D59 — threads are forum style. An opening post, replies beneath it, oldest first. A Question can
have one reply marked as its answer; a Rumour gets the GM’s confirm or deny. Discord already does
chatting; these are the things worth keeping.
D32 is paid off. The session Talk tab was deferred to this lane; it is the same thread as the board’s,
listed on the session it belongs to.
D58, D60 and D61 — the wiki editor, the recent feed and handouts — were settled with this one and are
drawn in lanes 6b to 6d.
Decided while drawing, accepted on review (21 September)
The audience picker has five choices, not two. #654 names “just me and the GM” and
“the whole group”; #593’s model, which is meant to cover every visibility control in the
product, adds the party, chosen people and GMs only. One picker with all five, rather than a two-way switch here
and a different control in the wiki.
Narrower than the table is tinted. A private thread or note carries its audience in the GM colour
wherever it appears, so it is never mistaken for a public one at a glance.
A reply always reaches exactly the thread’s audience. Only a GM can make a post narrower (a note),
and nobody can make one wider — the server refuses it (IS-145), and the page says why before
anyone is surprised.
Every post names the person, with their own pronouns, and the character they play beneath (#653).
Flags and registry suggestions share one queue for the GM, with one count on the Contents.
Whoever asked a Question marks its answer, as a GM can — never the question itself. Anyone else
reads which reply settled it.
The owner’s review, 21 September
Confirmed: a GM sees every thread, including a player’s “just you and the GM” — #593’s model, as drawn.
The new-thread form’s free-text field is labelled “Message”, not “More, if it helps”. D66 gains the rule: a label is a word
or two, and explanation goes in a hint only where it is needed.
The coverage check: 40 placements, none missing. 38 drawn, and 2 replaced: #593’s
older “post a rumour for the GM to confirm” (IS-106), which #654’s Rumour thread
supersedes. The check is coverage/lane6.py beside the catalogue.
