Sealed messages

A sealed message is the GM’s way of committing to a piece of information players will see later. Players see a sealed envelope placeholder (“Aerin posted something sealed”) in the feed; only the GM and the message sender can see the actual content. When the GM unseals, the message flips to public and everyone sees it.

When to use it

Section titled “When to use it”
  • Prophecy. Drop the prophecy now so players see it land in the feed at the right narrative moment, but you still control the reveal.
  • Forewarning. Pre-write a result you know is coming so it feels timed and inevitable when it lands.
  • Hidden lore. Post the secret backstory of an NPC; reveal when it becomes canon to the players.
