we are here to...

Some players can immediately improv a session of Wanderhome from its starting Locations and prompts without any difficulty. My friends and I are not among them, especially not in a longer campaign where beginnings start to feel repetitive. 

To help us kick-start the narrative as well as get ourselves unstuck from the occasional mid-game slump, I wrote we are here to..., a one-page narrative aid that contains...

• 3 basic reasons why the player characters are where they are during the session, and prompts to elaborate on the specifics, to provide some narrative structure to the session.
• For each basic reason, 3 roles played by the session's Locations in relation to your chosen reason, to help tie the Locations into the session's narrative.
• For each basic reason, 3 optional mid-game complications or twists, to give the players a push when they're not sure where the story should go next.

It's not much, but we found it effective at oiling our creative gears. Hopefully it helps your group too!
