Scenario Modules

Included in the [TNX] book is a pre-made Scenario Module for those who wish to play right away. This section details how to read the format Scenarios are written in.

Each Scenario is divided into various Phases from the Pre-Act to the Ending. For a full rundown on how these different Phases of an Act work please consult the Act Structure section.

Pre-Act Information
This section details the basic preparations needed to start a session of play.

Scenario Data
This details the recommended number of Players and a rough estimate of how long the Scenario will last.

Story
This details the general setting and background of the Scenario as well as the expected plot developments that will occur.

Act Trailer
An announcement trailer for the Scenario that is read to the Players before Character Creation occurs.

Cast Creation
This details how to handle the Character Creation process for this Scenario and includes information Players need to know before they create their Cast Member.

Included in this information is the recommended/required Styles for the Scenario, which are numbered by order of their importance to the Scenario. If there are fewer Players than the recommended number for the Scenario, pick the lower-numbered Styles first.

Quick Start
This section lists the designated Sample Characters for those who wish to use the Quick Start rules. The Player is, of course, allowed to alter the Sample Character's Personal Data such as their age and gender.

Construction
For Players who wish to use the Construction rules, this section lists the recommended Persona Styles and occupations Cast Members should take for the Scenario.

Cast Connections
This section lists which Cast Members have a  Skill in order such as: 1) Mannequin > 2) Kugutsu. This denotes the Mannequin Cast Member has a  Skill.

Regulations
This section details what kind of special rules and regulations the Scenario uses. They are typically divided into the below sections. If nothing in particular is written, the RL is of course allowed to decide their own regulations.

Recommended XP
This lists both the maximum and minimum amount of XP a Cast Member participating in this Scenario is allowed to have at the beginning of the Scenario (such as 30~50(30 min/50 max)). If a completely new Player is participating in the Scenario and does not have the required minimum amount of XP, the RL may allow that Player to make a new Character with the minimum XP granted to them for free. Players who already have more XP than the minimum will simply use their own XP to improve their Cast Member.

Necessary Miracles
This lists Miracles that are considered useful or possibly necessary for the Cast to succeed and survive the Scenario.

In particular, this focuses on the amount of Defensive Miracles the Cast will need to counter Instant-Kill Miracles the enemy Guests will possess.

Other
This lists the unique rules and regulations of the Scenario, such as how to handle using a solo Scenario as part of a campaign, or a campaign Scenario as a solo Scenario.

This section details how to depict the upcoming Scene and how to portray the NPCs participating in it. It is written with the purpose of informing the RL what they need to convey to their Players in the Scene.

Dialogue
