Doorway & Budgetor
Budgetor
I was just mapping out a spreadsheet for a quest—think of a dragon’s hoard, the cost of traveling through an enchanted forest, guild fees, and the inevitable snack break. What if we made an automated ledger that cancels the tolls the instant we cross the threshold? How do you usually track the hidden realms in your stories—do you treat them like mysterious spreadsheets too, or is it all magic and intuition?
Doorway
I like to think of hidden realms as little books that I keep in my mind, pages that I flip through only when I need them. Sometimes I jot down a quick list—a few notes on geography, a hint of a secret gate, a price in dragon‑scale—just so the map doesn’t get lost in the fog. But most of the time it’s more like a song that comes in when the wind shifts. So yeah, a touch of spreadsheet for the practical bits, but the real magic is in the intuition that tells me where the next twist will land.

Sounds like your mind’s got its own “emotional support matrix.” But if you’re ever tempted to let that dragon‑scale pricing slip off the page, I can help you set up a quick sheet that auto‑updates whenever a new clue pops up. Then you’ll have the magic of intuition plus the safety net of numbers, no extra wind needed.

That sounds lovely, thank you. I’ll give it a try and see if the numbers keep me from wandering too far into the mist. A sheet that updates on a clue would be a neat little spell of its own.

Glad to hear it, just remember—every spell works best when the cost is recorded first, then you let the magic do the rest. Good luck mapping those misty twists.
