In between sessions, we need to do a little housekeeping. First,
Bonds. I'm sure you noticed them on your sheet. They are little blurbs that help illustrate how the characters relate to each other. They provide bonuses (or penalties) to some Moves, as well as opportunities for extra Experience in-between sessions.
First thing is to resolve any Bonds you might have. Since we didn't start out with any, we can skip that step now. It will become more important at the end of future sessions.
After you resolve any Bonds you have feel you've played out (or don't make sense anymore), choose new Bonds. For example, you might choose "
Ileosa trusted me with a secret," as she told you that the mountain is broken and cut off from the land (
msg #5). Or perhaps "
Bryn doesn't trust me, and for good reason," since you poured out the dwarven stout and she took offense (
msg #23).
Don't feel like you have to make bonds with every NPC, and you can select the same NPC for multiple bonds.
After Bonds, we need to consider your
Alignment. If you feel you fulfilled your alignment at least once this last session, you gain +1 XP. Your alignment is:
Chaotic: Spur others to significant and unplanned decisive action. Please let me know if you feel you did anything to illustrate that.
After Alignment, you need to
ask yourself three questions:
- Did we learn something new and important about the world?
- Did we overcome a notable monster or enemy?
- Did we loot a memorable treasure?
You gain +1 XP for each "yes."
After all that, you add up your XP. Once you have XP equal to (or greater than) your current level+7, you advance in level.
My records show that you have
1 XP before answering the questions above. Please follow the steps above and let me know what you think, or if you have any questions or concerns.
