# Example scenario
YOUR CURRENT EXERCISE
OUR STARTING POINT
Most tabletop exercises have
this familiar structure of
story-questions-story-
questions

STEP 1: CREATE TABS
FOR THE MAIN EVENTS
Your main events are likely to be
those slides where you describe the
story.

Add a vertical line for each incident.

*You can still use live role-players and send content “on the fly” but using automated personas
gives you back more time. And you can even pre-train with single player self-paced exercises.

STEP 4: CREATE DECISIONS
Add a card for every decision or action the player must take.
You don’t need to make everything scripted. Use an “open text”
question to allow players complete freedom to decide how they
respond.
