Certainly, the Dungeon World book references doing things like what that article refers to, just without a specified theory or rationale, e.g. when it gives an example of "ask questions and use the answers":That's an example of a guiding action used to spread the focus around to other players. It's not called out as such, but that's quite obviously what it is. Likewise, giving every NPC who speaks to the players a name is a type of guiding action--in this case, it guides the players to think of NPCs as (simulated) actual people, rather than as walking plot devices. (I will confess, I don't enforce this rigidly--we've already had hundreds of named NPCs in my game, so having every single guard, footman, and courier get a name, personality, and backstory would be overwhelming.)I very much appreciate the link. Simply put, googling "Israeli theory"....did not lead to good places. The best places it led were about debunking nasty conspiracy theories.</blockquote>
