There are many different terms for different discrete sections of time in roleplaying games. For example, a large linked sequence of stories is a campaign or chronicle.
Individual sections of a campaign might be called a story.
Sections of a story might be a session or chapter.
A session is made up of scenes.
Scenes are sometimes divided into turns.
What are some synonyms for these words I haven’t used here? What have you seen used in games you’ve played or groups you’ve played with?
