Session and Experience Management: Opening with a usable shared starting point

Check practical readiness, available time, relevant agreements, and where play resumes. Give a proportionate recap and invite an actionable first decision. Adapt transitions and breaks to the group rather than treating pace as speed alone.

Example: With limited time remaining, confirm which unfinished action matters before moving to another scene.

Check your understanding: What should a recap enable? A shared understanding of what is happening and what can be decided next.

Application: choose a situation where you could try this approach. Write the cue you will look for and the action you intend to take.
