What to fill in first
Concept, personality, and one concrete goal
Priorities
- Write the actual question. One sentence, specific enough to be answered.
- Decide what they have already given up for it.
- Pick what they would do if they got the answer tomorrow.
Play tips
- Share what you learn. A seeker who hoards becomes a plot bottleneck.
- Dead ends are content. Play the disappointment rather than skipping it.
- The best version of this arc is the one where the answer is not what they needed.
