Session 36 — Content Audit & Voice Compliance

Session 36 — May 3, 2026

Summary

Full content audit of all active game pages. Enforced voice rules (no em dashes) across every file, corrected stale navigation links from the section reorganization, updated “Chef RPG” naming to “Today’s Specials” in play-examples, and added play-examples to the reference section so it appears in the rulebook.

---

✅ Em Dash Audit Complete

All em dashes replaced across 20+ active game files.

Replacement pattern:

• Label separators (”♥ Hearts — abundant”): replaced with :
• Prose connectors (“the encounter — it focuses it”): replaced with . or ,
• Frontmatter titles (“Character Creation — Class”): replaced with :

Files updated:

• introduction.md, the-world.md
• character-creation.md, character-calling.md, character-class.md
• cooking.md, cooking-red.md, cooking-black.md
• exploration.md, exploration-red.md, exploration-black.md
• job-client.md, job-event.md, job-location.md, job-urgency.md
• game-loop.md, play-examples.md
• misc-complications.md, misc-dish-names.md, presentation-reactions.md, example-playthrough.md

✅ Nav Links Corrected

Five files had stale navigation after the session-0/game-loop reorganization from Session 35.

Correct reading flow is now threaded:

introduction → the-world → the-seeds → session-0 → game-loop
→ character-creation (crew section)
→ job-creation → job-client → job-event → job-location → job-urgency
→ exploration → cooking → presentation
→ misc-tables → example-playthrough → play-examples → rulebook

Files fixed:

• session-0: back → the-seeds · forward → game-loop
• game-loop: back → session-0 · forward → character-creation
• character-creation: forward → job-creation (was job-client)
• job-creation: back → character-creation (was the-seeds)
• job-client: back → job-creation (was game-loop)

---

✅ Naming Update

• play-examples.md: “Chef RPG works in any world” → “Today’s Specials works in any world”

---

✅ play-examples.md Now in Rulebook

Added section: "reference" and sectionOrder: 5 to play-examples.md frontmatter. Previously had no section and defaulted to “project”, which excluded it from the rulebook.

Next Steps (Priorities for Session 37)

Priority 1: Write the Example Playthrough

• example-playthrough.md is still a stub
• One complete session narrated: job card → exploration → cooking → presentation
• Narrated example, not rules explanation

Priority 2: Retire old planning files

• page-budget.md and layer-3.md are pre-architecture planning docs
• Move to archive or exclude via partition logic
