Storylines (A / B / C)

See each story's thread through the season.

Name your A, B and C stories, give each a colour, and tie characters to them. The board and outline use the colours, so an episode's balance is visible at a glance.

What it does

  • Named storylines (season arcs, episode stories or runners) with colours and their characters
  • Board cards take the storyline colour
  • Filter the board to follow one storyline across episodes

How to use it

  1. Storylines → add A, B, C
  2. Pick a storyline on each beat
