End of Session Routine

When you have about an hour left in your session, work towards a dramatic moment that can serve as a climax for the session.

Let players know that I like to do a three-part end-of-session breakdown.

Per Character Epilogue

Let each player riff for two minutes at the end of any episode, season, or one-shot.

Let players know the three steps before we go around the room.

1. Highlight Reel

   1. Bloopers are the Haha, whoopsie moments
   2. Outtakes are more serious things we want to offer feedback for hopes of improvement
3. Feels & Final Feedback
   1. Time to process and feels
   2. And Get the last word in
