Narrative-Driven Immersive Exercises
- Immersive exercises are a narrative-driven style of wargaming focused on strategy and characters.
- They reveal complex, non-kinetic connections that board-based games often miss.

- Providence records player actions so effects ripple across future turns without manual referee bookkeeping.
- That persistence creates more realistic second- and third-order consequences.
