The Core Insight

Elaborate conflicts often fail because they focus on complexity rather than resonance. The conflicts that succeed have simple structures built on solid foundations.

This book teaches those foundations: what makes opposition meaningful, how to construct it systematically, and how to fix problems that prevent engagement.

72 pages of practical frameworks, real examples, and quick-reference tools.

"There's a moment at gaming tables when everyone leans forward, when what happens next genuinely matters to everyone involved. This book is about creating those moments intentionally."

The conflicts you create are better than you think. They just need the right architecture.
