Common questions, answered without the forum fog.
Does this replace the official campaign log?
No. The official log controls campaign state. This desk adds a private handoff, deck versions, unresolved rulings, and reset work.
What should be recorded after every scenario?
Resolution, XP, trauma, weaknesses, deck version, chaos-bag changes, next scenario, unresolved rules, and the first setup task for next time.
Is the Campaign Case Log an official publisher tool?
No. It is an independent Puzzlewick planning aid checked against Fantasy Flight: official campaign logs and player resources. When the tool and current publisher material differ, the publisher rulebook, FAQ, errata, or event packet controls.
How current is the Campaign Case Log?
Its evidence date is 2026-08-18. Recheck the linked current authority after a new edition, FAQ, points update, rotation, app update, or event packet.
