This template is used by all Session Summary pages to capture information from each session.

How to Use

To create a new session summary page, use the following syntax:

{{Session Summary
| session_num = 153
| campaign = 
| session_date = 
| game_date = 
| synopsis = 
| summary = 
| exp = 
| treasure = 
| key_npcs = 
| tasks = 
| rumors = 
}}

**session_num**: Optional numeric session number (e.g. 152, 153). Useful for multi-session titles like "Session 153-154".
