#Short-Campaign Rules

Contents

module-toggle: additive short campaign (3rd-dan fixed · one-shot friendly)

#Identity

Transform the core campaign assumption (start at 1st dan · growth up to 9th dan) into a short campaign (concluding in 1~3 sessions). Friendly to one-shots · session-based play.

#§ Variant A: 3rd-Dan Fixed (Short Series)

Adjustment:

• All PCs start at 3rd dan.
• No dan promotion — no dan change during the campaign.
• All PCs start holding Licensed · secret art of 1 school + 5 types of general techniques.
• No interlude — all time is adventure.

Effect:

• Concluding in 1~3 sessions is possible.
• PC abilities are clear — strong from the start.
• Suited to casual · one-shot.

#§ Variant B: One-Shot Friendly (Single Session)

Adjustment:

• Prepare PC sheets in advance (the GM provides 4~5 character options).
• PC selection within 5 minutes.
• The adventure is clear in 4 acts (introduction · development · combat · conclusion).
• Campaign tone: action · cinematic.

Effect:

• Concluding in 1 session of 3~4 hours.
• Friendly to new PCs · beginner PCs.
• Suited to conventions · one-time gatherings.

#§ Recommended Situations

• A 3rd-Dan Fixed: short series (a 5~10-session campaign)
• B One-Shot: 1-session conclusion · convention · beginner PCs

#§ Not Recommended

• A: long campaigns (absence of growth)
• B: deep narrative (insufficient time)

#§ Transition Guide

• Core → A: agree at the campaign's start. Standardize PC sheets to 3rd dan.
• Core → B: 1-time use. Return to the core in the next session.
