- Handouts must be placed in hand. Digital works too, but printing and distributing on paper changes how players remember the game.
- Masking with care. For handouts with staged reveals like the Enmadoji map, prepare a way to cover them in advance (envelope, paper folding).
- What belongs to the players belongs to the players. The romance checklist can stay private. The GM should not peer at it too closely either.
"There must be something for the player to hold before the game is in hand. A map, a business card, a token card. Small pieces of paper make the world."
