Every DM has one: the throwaway innkeeper, goblin, or courier who walks onstage for a minute and somehow becomes the emotional center of the campaign.

StoryVault shines in that exact kind of chaos because it keeps the accidental legends from disappearing between sessions.

The lesson

  • Do not assume the important NPC is the one in your prep doc.
  • Keep the table's real favorites easy to find.
  • Treat improvisation like canon once the players fall in love with it.

Your campaign is too good to forget.
