SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reviews across multiple lenses against a session log to surface friction and produce structured feedback in a single panel.

Core Features & Use Cases

Five independent lenses (Tactician, Roleplayer, Lorekeeper, Improviser, Fresh Face) analyze a finalized session log and gate file.
Outputs: five reviews plus a SUMMARY.md in the sessions/S{N}-panel directory, enabling quick cross-lens synthesis.
Use case: teams seeking diversified critique of playtest data to refine adventures and play experience.

Quick Start

Feed the finalized session log (sessions/S{N}-log.md) and gate file (sessions/S{N}-gate.md) into the playtest-panel to generate the five lens reviews and a SUMMARY in the sessions/S{N}-panel directory.

FAQPage Schema

How do I run a multi-lens playtest review for a tabletop RPG session log?▼

A multi-lens playtest review analyzes a session log through five distinct perspectives to surface friction and produce structured feedback. It uses the Tactician, Roleplayer, Lorekeeper, Improviser, and Fresh Face lenses to provide independent critiques of tabletop RPG playtest data.

What is the best way to automate playtest feedback across different design lenses?▼

The best way to automate playtest feedback is by processing a finalized session log and gate file through a five-perspective panel. This generates five independent reviews and a consolidated SUMMARY.md, enabling diversified critique to refine adventures without manual cross-referencing.

Do I need a specific file format for tabletop RPG playtest session logs?▼

You need a finalized session log named sessions/S{N}-log.md and a gate file named sessions/S{N}-gate.md in markdown format. These files provide the foundational playtest data and scenario constraints required for the five lenses to analyze.

How does the five-lens playtest panel structure its output files?▼

The playtest panel structures output by creating a sessions/S{N}-panel directory. This directory contains five individual markdown reviews from each lens alongside a SUMMARY.md file, enabling quick cross-lens synthesis of the tabletop RPG playtest session data.

Can I use this playtest panel for solo game design sessions?▼

You can use this playtest panel for solo game design sessions to simulate a diversified critique team. By applying the five independent lenses to your session log, a solo designer can surface varied friction points and refine the play experience without a physical review panel.

What playtest scenarios are not suited for a five-lens review panel?▼

Five-lens review panels are not suited for playtest scenarios lacking a finalized session log or structured gate file. The review process requires complete markdown session data to generate independent lens critiques and a consolidated summary of tabletop RPG friction points.
