2. Prepare

Ask your players to review the questions below, and give them some thought before the planning session. If they can't attend, ask them to send you their wish lists beforehand. Encourage everyone else to come with notes, or at least thoughts.

Before the game ends:

  • What arcs do you want resolved?
  • What questions do you want to see answered?
  • What scenes do you hope to have?
  • Are there any moves, artifacts, or arcana you'd love to see in action?
  • What goals do you want a chance for your PC to accomplish?

If you have time, provide the players with a list of hanging threads for reference. That includes active threats, stuff from your "I wonder…" list “I wonder…”, unsolved mysteries and unfished projects, player wishes yet to be granted, and so forth.

Give these questions some thought, yourself. You're allowed to have opinions!
