The heartbeat of the Tomb
Between turns, your last page remains readable. When the Page Turn resolves, the Tomb moves forward and a fresh page is waiting.
What is a Page Turn?
A Page Turn is the moment the shared world advances. Submitted actions resolve together, the Tomb state changes, and each affected player receives a new personal page.
Asynchronous by design
You do not need a shared session time. Submit your action when it fits your day, then return after the turn resolves.
One action per turn
Each turn gives you one freeform action. You can write in character or simply explain your intent; the system resolves what reasonably fits in that Page Turn.
Consequences carry forward
Page Turns do not reset the board. Broken doors, spent resources, injuries, alliances, and discoveries carry forward into the chronicle your expedition leaves behind.
How a Tomb works
- 1
A Tomb opens
A new expedition begins. Players gather at the threshold, each with a character, a first page, and one step into the dark.
- 2
You take your turn
Read your page, then submit one freeform action before the next Page Turn locks.
- 3
The world advances
Submitted actions are resolved together against one shared world, then translated into narrative consequence.
- 4
Pages are delivered
Each affected player receives a personal page shaped by their choices, location, senses, and the world's response.
- 5
Consequences persist
Nothing simply resets. The Tomb remembers what was broken, lost, spent, discovered, and survived.
- 6
A chronicle is bound
When the expedition concludes, the pages become a chronicle — a record of the story your party made together.
