## Tone and style

\- Should the game feel grim, heroic, funny, mysterious, or a mix? - How much of the story do you want to drive: a lot, some, or I would rather react? - What is one movie, book, or show mood you would like this game to borrow from (mood only)? - How lethal should danger be: scary and real, or mostly a setback?

## Your character

\- What does your character want most right now? - Who or what do they refuse to betray? - Name one person, place, or thing in the world they care about. The GM may use it. - What is a flaw you would enjoy seeing cause trouble?

## Comfort and boundaries

\- Is there any topic you want left out of the game entirely (a line)? - Is there a topic that can exist but should stay off-screen or be handled briefly (a veil)? - How would you like to signal a pause or a change of direction during play? - Are you happy for the GM to check in privately between scenes?

## Logistics

\- How long is a session, and when do we take a break? - What happens if you miss a session: character stays in the background, or GM plays them? - Are phones and laptops fine at the table, or only for game use? - Who takes notes, and who keeps the shared map or party list?
