This means that your creativity---and the players'---is -much more important than anyone's knowledge of \"the rules\". Players will sometimes come up with oblique solutions to -problems, and in the Cypher System, it's a generally good idea to evaluate those ideas: they are gifts that arrive with -meaningfulness already baked in. - -Lastly, meaningfulness isn't just about the game or the story. It\'s also about what you and the players share together -as real people, so talk with the players. Talk with them before the game, during the game, and after the game. If -something is going well, talk about that! If something isn't going to well, talk about that, too. Be open, honest, and -listen carefully to feedback you receive, and try not to take it personally. Don't be afraid to tell other people what -your needs and expectations are. Do what you can to meet the needs and expectations of others. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ::: {#part5} ## [Part 5]{.og-chap} Back Matter
