Borrowed from improv, this means leaning into the story the DM and other players are building. If the party wants to investigate the spooky cave, don’t be the person who insists on staying at the inn to "save money."

Software development is a team sport. When you treat developers as creative partners rather than "feature factories," the product (and the office vibe) improves instantly.

We’ve all been there. You spent three hours crafting a backstory for your Half-Orc Paladin, only for the "Chaotic Neutral" Rogue to burn down the tavern before you could even introduce yourself.

They spent hours prep-work for your session. Show up on time, put the phone away, and engage with the world they built.

Every feature has a cost—usually in time or technical debt. Instead of asking "Can we do this?", ask "What are the trade-offs if we prioritize this?"

You don't need to memorize the Player’s Handbook, but knowing how your own spells work keeps the momentum alive. Nobody likes a 20-minute pause while you look up "Magic Missile" for the tenth time.
