+## Schema
+
+You should probably just read the recfile because that will always be the source of truth, but at the time of this writing, the schema is as follows.
+
+```
+%rec: Game
+%doc: a ttrpg game I have played or am playing
+%key: Id
+%type: Id int
+%type: System,Module,Format line
+%type: Updated,Started date
+%typedef: Role enum DM Player
+%typedef: Length enum Campaign Adventure Oneshot
+%typedef: Status enum Ongoing Complete Hiatus Dead
+%auto: Id Updated
+%mandatory: Id System Module Format Notes Updated Started Role Length Status
+```
+
+Note: `Notes` (arguably the most important field) does not have a type because there is no valid type for multi-line entries in recfiles. Thus is remains untyped, uncheckable by recins, and undocumented in the schema. I consider this a bug of the recutils.

+ nor did i, to be honest. this was a very challenging game to run. i felt stressed out and frustrated the whole time. the clues were super vauge. it was hard to understand a new system, and the mystery, and also stay on top of helping people play their character. There was also a bunch of the game that I should have just thrown out because it was not applicable/appropriate for a one-shot. Also all of the clues are objects. There's no way to have a clue come up in conversation without the person running away so they could find an object, or somehow describing the object for some reason.
+ I had two players (pete and ari) who had never played a game before, pete was kind of lost. i should have thrown out abilities and had a straight 2d6 roll.

+challenging game to run. There’s no guidance for how to play the
+characters. The clues that pop up lead the fiction in weird directions,
+and as the facilitator you’re left holding the bag trying to give your
+players what they want when following up with questions. And at the end,
+there are so many red herrings and clues that don’t add up, and
+just. The ending, the Theorize Move, is the most interesting and fun part
+of the game. But it rarely creates a narratively satisfying ending. I also don’t know how to create tension or stakes in this game. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun. I just feel like I gotta find a different system to run these
+characters and this story on. BTW there’s no written evidence of this anywhere, but the second BB
+game we played was in March of this year. The first was in February. And
+this is the 3rd, seven months later in October Anyway, the module was Good Buy, Cruel World by Michael van Fleet,
