THE EMBER ATELIER
Notes from the manticore’s desk.
A few practical notes on symbols, features, credits and looking after your time. Read a little before opening the reels.

A balance with no price tag.
A little structure for free play, with no real-world value.

YOUR TIME
A pause belongs in the plan.
Give the evening a boundary before opening a world.
