Translate creativity into a roll, cost, risk, consequence, or challenge instead of shutting the idea down.
Teach while playing.
Walk through the relevant rule in the moment. Do not require players to master the book before session one.
Protect momentum.
Fast turns, clear stakes, dangerous choices, and consequences matter more than slow tactical perfection.
