Is this skill restricted to specific game systems like D&D?

No, while the logic is inspired by common TTRPG tropes, the adversarial review process can be applied to any narrative-driven game or interactive scenario.

How does it handle 'murder hobo' players?

The skill specifically analyzes what happens if players kill quest givers or attack NPCs on sight, suggesting consequences or backup hooks to keep the story moving.

Can it check my campaign maps and documents?

Yes, it integrates with your stored campaign data to review NPC placements, map layouts, and world context to ensure all elements are logically connected.

What kind of output should I expect?

You will receive a structured Pressure Test Report that lists Critical, Major, and Minor issues, along with recommended preparations and DM notes for improvisational anchors.

What is a Campaign Pressure Test?

It is a systematic review of your tabletop game module designed to find narrative weaknesses, mechanical exploits, and potential dead-ends by simulating unpredictable player behavior.

Game Development

Identifies plot holes, exploits, and unexpected player actions in TTRPG campaigns using an adversarial mindset.

About

The Campaign Pressure Test skill acts as a virtual 'problem player' to rigorously stress-test tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) modules and adventures. By adopting an adversarial perspective, it systematically analyzes your campaign's NPCs, locations, and narrative arcs to identify critical failure points—such as 'murder hobo' scenarios, sequence breaking, or resource exploits. Whether you are preparing a homebrew session or a professional module, this skill provides a structured report that categorizes risks by severity and suggests actionable mitigations, ensuring your story remains resilient against even the most unpredictable player decisions.

Key Features

4 GitHub stars
Detection of sequence-breaking exploits using high-level magic or clever social solutions.
Actionable mitigation strategies including contingency NPCs and backup plot hooks.
Categorized severity reporting for critical narrative dead-ends and minor experience gaps.
Adversarial simulation of common player behaviors like 'Murder Hobo' and 'Content Skipping'.
Systematic auditing of orphaned NPCs and unlinked module assets.

Use Cases

Stress-testing a homebrew adventure to ensure players can't bypass the entire dungeon via a single spell.
Preparing for unpredictable player actions by generating 'what-if' scenarios for key social encounters.
Identifying critical plot holes in a complex mystery module where a single missed clue could stop progress.
