Wet pine is part of it, but air flow plays a big role too.

That sweaty strap struggle is real, I taped a bandana to mine after a summer attic job.

What made you land on three questions instead of just one? I ask because my group tried the single big question thing and sometimes it fizzled if the question wasn't quite right, but with three you've got backups if the first one dies. The cat question is a great example of what works, it's a real choice a real person made and everyone can picture it. I've noticed our best talks come from questions about a character being selfish or not, like did they owe anyone anything in that moment. Broad stuff just lets people nod along and say they liked it. Specific stuff forces you to pick a side.
