Session Checklist ?

Mouse Guard Getting Started with Mouse Guard

Hi,

I’m new here, I’m French, and I’m going to start a MG game soon :smiley:

So I was reading the PDF and remembered this wiki page for Burning Wheel : http://www.burningwheel.org/wiki/index.php?title=Session_Checklist

In the process of reading/learning MG RPG from the PDF, I started to write a similar checklist for it.

Questions :

  • Luke, Is it okay to collect all the “playflow” info from the book and put it here in the forum or on the wiki as a Session Checklist ?
  • If so, Is there anybody interested in a Session Checklist for MG ? I might need some help with my english skills (hello France :slight_smile: )

Thanks,

David

Can you give me an example?

Okay, here’s an exemple:

…

Players : Write Session Goals (p.XX)

GM : notes Session Goals

GM’s Turn (p.XX)… ends when :

*  Mission is completed ;
*  OR Patrol reaches a safe haven ;
*  OR during downtime in an Extended Mission.

…

Basically, I took the “Mission” chapter and made a list of all the game “steps” in a session.
I intend to use it as a reminder for my future game.
