RPGCorePrincipleAsk
This template displays the explainer text for one of the core principles in The Fifth World tabletop roleplaying game, “Ask questions and build on the answers.” We put it in a template because the same text is used in multiple places across the site, primarily in the RPG manual and the RPG compendium.
#Example
Questions lie at the heart of this game, with several different kinds of questions that engage different mechanics to help pace the answers you can find. Immediate questions cost nothing, though, and every player should look for opportunities to ask them. Ask about the things you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch, about feelings and perspectives, about hopes and fears, about the past, about anything and everything that catches your attention, piques your interest, or makes you wonder. The answers may remain uncertain, but these impressions provide the hints and signs that help us see the Fifth World together and hunt the wild story. When others answer those questions, feel free to build on those answers by telling us what else you can see. If those answers and descriptions prompt even more questions, so much the better. And when this produces larger, looming questions, pursue them in play.
