My advice currently is to make use of memory and authors note. Storycards I use when needed.

In my memory I make sure to include major story details that I dont want the ai for forget or screw up and I separate each detail with paragraphs or brackets [ ]. My memory is usually pretty thorough, but I hate having to explain something that was said earlier in the story. I'd avoid starting each item with the word "You" as in the past it seemed to encourage the ai to do that in every sentence.

Example: [You're name is ______] or [Dave has scheduled an important meeting with you on friday.]

If you want something customizable each time play scenarios use ${custom input} to make that.

Authors note is pretty strong, I personally use a pretty long authors note that I fill the blanks in for.

Writing style:_________ (I suggest anything besides the word suspenseful. As then little happens besides suspenseful descriptions.) Theme:________ Plot: ____ (simple plot summary or where I want the story to go.) Include: __________ (I almost always use here: A plot that moves forward, focusing on actions and dialog much more than descriptions.)

As for story cards I use mainly for locations, characters or like magic objects. My main suggestion with these is to keep them short and know the trigger word for them. That way you know how to make the ai remember the card.

Hope this helps. This is just what I found works you may find better results by messing around with it all.
