# Content expansion prompts

## One-shot case pack prompt

Generate a JSON character pack for Step Away. Use case files, not personal names. Keep gender-neutral language unless the case specifically requires otherwise. Each case needs visible signs, hidden truths, anchors and need_profile. The tone should be humane and specific, not generic mental health advice. Each case should be playable as a tense one-shot with a final epitaph.

## Campaign prompt

Create one Step Away campaign JSON. The campaign should be a curated case-file novella built on the same 52-card deck plus optional Jokers.

Requirements:

- 5-7 chapters
- 3-5 recurring named characters
- one category focus
- story-shaped `starting_removed` deck list
- `starting_reason` explaining why those exact cards are missing
- limited `restore_market`
- Threadlight resource with starting value, floor and replay cost
- per-character initial Seen/Held/Helped/Secured/Pressure/Anchors/state
- per-chapter focus character, intro, stakes, deck_note and hint
- `on_stepped_away` and `on_not_stepped_away` consequences for each chapter
- card restores/locks must be thematically tied to the story
- endings baked in by stepped-away count

Do not make the deck reduction generic. The deck is the emotional availability of the story.

## Campaign art / preview prompt

Create a modular Step Away campaign cover in the clean crisis-doodle style. Use category colour, symbolic props, a simple figure/silhouette, and 2-4 recurring character hints. The image should feel like an indie tabletop campaign module, not a therapy worksheet. Avoid explicit harm.

## Case preview system prompt

Create modular case preview parts for Step Away. Each preview is assembled from category colour, category icon, figure pose, and scene accent. Keep figures simple, readable and emotionally grounded. The purpose is fast category recognition, not portrait realism.
