Make the setting understandable to newcomers
SectFoundry organizes an original cultivation-inspired recruitment event. It provides placeholder recruits, fictional ranks, mentor assignments, trial records and a welcoming ceremony alongside a basic schedule and budget. It is useful for a role-play club introduction or a themed party where guests do not all know the same lore.
Start with a short explanation of the imagined sect’s purpose. Choose ranks that communicate story flavor without claiming real spiritual attainment or personal worth. Entry activities should help people join the group, not give a host a reason to exclude someone who cannot or does not want to perform.
Write trials that can be supervised
Enter the common theme, guest count, budget, duration, start and venue details. Recruitment trial stations go on separate lines. Add the fictional entry ranks, distinct mentor names and recruitment reward. You supply those labels: the tool does not retrieve a canon or assess a guest’s preferred character.
Trial descriptions should specify a safe observable task, such as matching printed symbols or agreeing on a shared banner design. Arrange materials and a clear completion rule outside the planner. The text can name a station but cannot determine whether a puzzle has enough information, whether a helper is available or whether the materials suit the participants.
Read the roster and trial board together
The roster labels participants Recruit 1 onward. Ranks, mentors and initial trials cycle through the supplied lists in order. This distributes labels; it is not a test that promotes a recruit according to performance. There is no editable personal-name roster within this particular form.
The mission board creates one ten-point record per trial with a mentor-verification instruction. Its team numbers identify those records; they should not be confused with a separately managed participant-team database. Enter evidence before marking a mission complete. The stated entry condition asks for all cooperative trials with mentor confirmation, but checking a board item does not automatically promote every recruit or issue a credential.
Fictional example: twelve arrivals, four paper trials
A host plans 100 minutes from 18:00 for twelve guests with a 600-unit budget. Enter the ranks Novice, Initiate and Keeper; mentors River and Cloud; and four trials: Match the star cards, Assemble a paper map, Compare the written clues and Agree a welcome pledge. Set the reward to Paper gate token.
The roster contains twelve placeholder recruits, four per fictional rank and six per mentor. Initial trials repeat every four recruits, so each trial is assigned to three people. The mission board has four records worth ten points each. Verifying all four records produces forty verified points, while the host still confirms how everyone participated.
The five phases receive twenty minutes each and finish at 19:40. The budget outline is 150 venue, 240 food, 120 materials and 90 reserve. Those are planning allocations, not prices for a complete event. The host uses the roster to brief mentors and writes a welcoming ceremony that thanks cooperation rather than announcing real ability levels.
Design a welcome that remains voluntary
Offer an observer role, an alternative seated task and a way to take a break without losing social standing in the story. A mentor should explain a task and support participation, not demand physical contact, endurance or disclosure of personal information. Keep all trials noncontact and use suitable paper or craft props.
Rehearse the stations in the intended order and check that enough copies exist. If one station needs more time, refine the equal-block outline before the event. Treat ranks and rewards as narrative labels; no automatic leveling, attendance verification or certificate service is implemented. Save a reviewed plan and keep a separate backup of the host version.
Questions before you begin
Does the planner decide who deserves a higher rank?
No. It cycles through the fictional rank labels you enter. Performance-based promotion rules, if wanted, must be agreed and managed by the host.
Can I enter everyone’s real name here?
This tool creates Recruit 1 and other placeholders. Use a separate participant roster when mapping them to agreed display names.
Does completing a trial automatically award the reward?
No. The board records evidence and completion, and the ceremony text names the reward. Distribution and participation review remain host tasks.
Are these real cultivation assessments?
No. They are fictional cooperative activities. Do not present them as spiritual, medical, sporting or educational credentials.
