So you Read a situation or Read a person and you burn, burn!

So you Read a situation or Read a person and you burn, burn!

So you Read a situation or Read a person and you burn, burn! to ask a question… but you’re stuck with the short list. Then joy! you advance these moves and suddenly can ask whatever you like. And just as suddenly you lose all inspiration and can’t think of anything past those infernal original lists?

Well, here’s some inspired questions gleaned from various moves in Apocalypse World, Dungeon World and Dungeon Planet.

  1. I think you’ve really hit on something here. Not so much your list but on the “no-choice-paralysis” thing. It’s true, but it’s hard for people to accept that the moves and option inspire more than they restrict. 

  2. Yes, I never thought much of advancing the Read moves. Indeed, I’d go further and say the basic moves inspire because they restrict, that the way they restrict breeds inspiration. Nothing like hitting the edge of the canvas to focus one’s attention.
