Judd Karlman really? Interesting!

How do you, like, establish things like Hx in AW, for example? I don’t want to get bogged down in NW specifically, which isn’t a great example because its setup questions aren’t as structured as other games; the one-shot handout has a Final Questions round that fleshes things out and can be time-consuming.

Although “during play/before play” is the thing I’m actually talking about here, the whole “setup is play” phenomenon. When we’re going around the table at Sagas of the Icelanders establishing Bonds, is that “during play” or “before play?”

What is play?
