Quotes (from this video)
- I think I I want to play a game okay I'm here to play games so I want a rule book
- Everyone's grateful for what you do if you do your job the best it can possibly be done. No one notices your thing like if your rulebook is well done everyone just plays the game if your rule looks horrible everyone's angry at you there's gonna be no praise
- Terms if you keep consistent terms make it easy to find what the terms are make it easy to find what they mean
- I want to pay attention to what type of content is in the hands of my players
