I developed a little cooperation technique to complement tabletop roleplaying games. I have often encountered a problem, especially in open-ended story-focused games, where misunderstanding and lack of agreement between players and GMs lead to confusion and the actual fiction lacking in focus and drive.

This is a mini-game, played at the end of the session, where you say what you’d like to see happen in the next session, in the form of a rhetorical question starting with “I wonder…”.

It’s a bit similar to Stars & Wishes, a very popular tool with similar intentions, but I felt I needed more focus on the fiction and helping players think about their future actions.

I wonder if you will find this tool as useful as it is to me and my co-players.
