# The Iron Vault — Session 15 Prep ## Strong Start The party flees down the side passage as three sets of heavy boots echo closer. You cut to them pressed against the damp stone wall thirty feet down the corridor — Vex's hand raised in a "stop" gesture — when the footsteps halt at the foundry entrance. A woman's voice, low and sharp: "They were just here. Fan out." The boots split up. ## Characters **Tessa Brightwood** (half-elf bard L5). AC 15, HP 38, PP 16. *Charming college dropout, wants to help Garrick's sick daughter.*
Eight canonical sections — Strong Start, Characters, Scenes, Secrets and Clues, Fantastic Locations, Important NPCs, Monsters, Treasure — plus a Threads-to-remember section that surfaces decisions you haven't made yet.
Every NPC you named, every dangling thread, every player ask carries forward. Nothing invented — when you haven't named an entity, the brief flags it as DECIDE BEFORE PLAY so you decide at the table, not the model.
On the $3/month plan, get a personal email-in address. Forward running campaign notes any time during the week. Friday at noon, a fresh one-pager arrives in your inbox sized for tonight's game.
The schema is system-agnostic — Strong Start, Scenes, Secrets, NPCs, Monsters, Treasure, Threads work for any narrative tabletop RPG. We test against D&D 5e and 2024 most heavily; Pathfinder 2e, Call of Cthulhu, Daggerheart, and homebrew systems all produce clean briefs.
Only the notes you paste or forward. They're stored on your account so weekly auto-prep can roll context forward across sessions, and you can delete everything at any time from the order page in the email receipt.
Around 30 seconds end-to-end for a one-shot. The weekly auto-prep job runs every Friday at noon UTC in v1 (per-customer time zone is on the v1.1 roadmap).
If we fail to deliver a brief, or the output doesn't include the eight Lazy DM sections, you're refunded automatically — the system checks itself. For weekly subscriptions, if the logs show you have not opened or downloaded any brief this billing period, your most recent month is refunded on request via the feedback button. Other than those verifiable conditions, all sales are final — the value transfers the moment the brief lands in your inbox.
