#Tutorial (入門書)

Contents

A story of three people meeting at a cafe and beginning Konsei Reiyotan. Read it in order, and you can start your first session.


#How to Read This Tutorial

Each chapter has two parts: Scent(fiction) and Law(session transcript).

  • Scent: A story in which three people — Kuro(GM), Hana(PC hopeful), and Mei(PC hopeful) — learn Konsei Reiyotan. Read it like fiction.
  • Law: A conversation log where the same three people actually play the same scene. Rules and numbers appear here.

Reading only Scent tells you the game's mood, and reading only Law teaches you the rules. Read both, and you will understand it fully.
