"I wonder…"

Keep a running list of open questions things that you wonder about, but either…

• … you don't know how to answer yet, or
• … you want to leave unanswered for now and see it get answered through play.

"I wonder... what did happen to the Forest Folk? What was that thing Vahid faced when he got the Mindgem? What exactly is making the crinwin so bold?"

Refer to these questions as you prepare adventures. Use the list to help identify the adventure's central opportunity or threat, or to help write the setup questions that you'll ask the characters.

Refer to this list during your sessions, when you need something interesting to say. Can you say something that answers one of these questions? Or that hints at the answer? Can you turn one of these questions back on the characters, and ask them to give you the answers?

Update these questions between sessions. If a question has been answered, remove it. If a new question occurs to you, add it to the list.
