| ==== Turnsheet ==== | ==== Turnsheet ==== | ||
| A short piece of writing completed by players each week, used to let the GMs know what each player character is doing during Downtime. You can find templates for each turnsheet at the bottom of your user page, and will need to create and then edit the template according to the guidelines found [[downtime_email_and_turnsheet|here]]. Your turnsheet can be freely edited up until **23:59 Thursday** following a session, at which point - unless a GM has agreed to give you an extension - it will be taken as final. The GM team will then read each turnsheet, discuss what happens in regards to them, and give a written response to each player. You can find an example of what a turnsheet might look like [[example_turnsheet|here]]. | A short piece of writing completed by players each week, used to let the GMs know what each player character is doing during Downtime.
