It can fill in holes, create new mysteries, get people going with it. And especially there, the key that I would look at is. What about the campaign was something that really resonated with people and where they might have more questions, but sort of not won't be jumping right back into it. It's this kind of other side piece. What do you think, Sean?

And that'll teach them. Jeff is in my home campaign, so he should be careful what advice he's sharing there.

Yeah, it's worth checking in.

Yeah, it's worth checking in.

Yeah. I agree with you. And it's also a time when you could assess the campaign and say, hey, where are some things that weren't working that should just drop, you know, like that faction system I was using isn't working. Let's get rid, you know, not go back to that. Like, yeah, you can reset that way. Sort of like what Jeff said, but you murder parts of the campaign rather than the characters.

I was reminded when you were talking about TV shows and the recaps they give, I read an article that was talking about our memory and how it works and how today's sort of stream everything, binge watch everything really works against the way our memory works. And so if you think of like the old TV shows where, you know, it's Thursday night, the next episode comes out.

um this was a thing that your brain wanted to hold on to and so you think about it and the next thursday comes along and the next piece when you binge watch all these shows in a row you kind of don't learn to hold on to it and that's how if you end up you know it's like been it just a year since the previous you know whatever season of the mandalorian or something and you're like wait what where did we end what happened so

The way to beat that is to force people to think of yourself, whatever, to think about it periodically. So if you can give them little bits leading up to your first session that get you back there, right? Like you could just write up quick scenes, right? To remind them of the locations, the NPCs, the whatever, the stakes, so that you start kind of, oh yeah, putting it back together.

Rather, you don't want to be there, sit down and try to resume as if, you know, everybody remembers everything when they don't.

Yeah. We had a hilarious thing where we wanted to show someone a Bridgerton episode. We were like mid- I think whatever the last season was. And we somehow ended up on the previous season and we watched easily 15 minutes before we realized, wait, wait, this is the wrong season. And we have seen all of this, right? And it's just like, wow, we retained none of that.

But one of the other ways to remember is telling people, right? So the more that you tell people the story, tell yourself in the mirror, whatever, it'll start coming back to you. And that helps a lot.
