Okay, makes sense; even if you don’t edit the actual document itself, editing its description here on Itch to point someone towards a good primer on the Belonging Outside Belonging system might help with a visitor who this is their first introduction to that system?

In reading through the guide, I’m still a bit lost and missing the concept of some of the key words mentioned as part of the structure: “Roles” are pretty well explained as referencing the four “PC” options, but “Situations”? Are those the “You also play the…” sheets? (if so, some sort of header would be nice on those!)

Are the “Choose one to ask left” questions ones that are intended for that character to “ask the player on your left” to get the conversation/story started, or is there some other context to “ask left”?

The intro has the comment “Some Moves are phrased as questions, in italics”, but I don’t see any Moves on the character sheets that are in italic or seem rhetorical, only ones that literally say “Ask,…” implying you do actually ask it of another player, not just “known to the character (asking the question) innately”?

The Belonging Outside Belonging system is mentioned, but not fully explained; are some of these knowledge gaps of mine indicating that there’s some additional core/base module I need to reference for more context?
