And so how can you, especially at this quick guide level, whether it's someone else running it themselves or you're explaining it, you're running it at a con, something like that. The players must be able to do that really quickly. And so the perfect showcase is almost like what Sean was saying about a choice around your character.

If you could very quickly say, OK, we're going to play this game that I've made. Do you want it to be sci fi or modern? That's we've got many choices, but we're just going to choose those two things. Let's go with sci fi. OK, here's this very simple thing that we have. Here's this one page that captures all of the differences we're going to embrace because of that. And now let's play. Right.

That might be something that's doable. Right. For a new player to take on. Because when you ask about the entry points for D&D, why does it work so well? Because it fairly simply delivers on what people want out of the experience and then has more depth behind it. But the very basics are simple to grasp. They're iconic. They all translate. Right.

That's a good trick. You know, a lot of there's a lot of talk about why ideas come out in showers. Right. And it can be the simplest explanation is because when we're in the shower, we're not really doing anything else other than a thing that we can kind of do while only thinking. And so you achieve a flow state creatively, flow state, get it? See what I did there?

Anyway, you are more creative because you can kind of not worry about the fact that you're currently putting in shampoo or whatever it is, and you are thinking about the problem and coming with ideas. And too often when we should be in a creative mindset, we are doing other things that don't allow for that sort of flow state.

And too often when we should be in a creative mindset, we are doing other things that don't allow for that sort of flow state.

And so what often happens is the flow state only comes when we have the deadline. I've got to run that game tomorrow. So I need ideas now. I just have to. So I turn everything else off and I focus. Well, that is the key. Turn everything else off and focus. And so a walk in the woods, a walk on the treadmill desk and those can often do that, too, because it sort of gets your body going.

And forgetting the other stuff sort of ties up your body functions into a flow state more easily so you can think through it. And so finding some way to get to that flow state is really good. One thing that I embrace very heavily is that idea that there is no muse, right? There's no magic that just shows up.

you must do the work and so especially if you have to put out you know thousands of words it's one thing to create your your you know your dm session of course you got to do that that's all important but if you have to really like write a whole big thing the only way to do it is to make progress and you just must make progress and so what i often do to get into a creative state is i'll outline

because I start thinking about the problem and then I'll start writing a few things. And as those things get cohesive, I will naturally continue that and be more likely to enter into that kind of creative flow state where I just start pouring out the words and they come out. But. It isn't going to magically happen on its own. I must set it up for it to continue happening. Right.

And so that's where the outlining, the working, the initial writing. And sometimes you may not particularly feel a flow state, but you just do the work. And at the end of it, there is the work. Right. Now you have something versus if you sit around waiting for some magic to really feel it or something like that. Well, you'll probably sit around and not have any words.
