The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

Adventures for Tabletop Roleplaying Games often include Summary Updates before gameplay begins and between scenes.


The adventure Something rotten in Kislev for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay contains two Summary Updates for game masters to use to explain the events that took place after Power Behind the Throne and before the beginning of the new adventure; the second Summary Update contains the main information players need while the first acts as a Summary Update to the second Summary Update if the players ended the previous adventure in jail.
