  1. Imagine taking someone else's work, and simplifying it down so you could play it on a boardgame, and just doing it as a coffee break goof, and then that overshadows your whole life. Is it worse to be unknown, or to be known for the thing you did that you feel least connected to, or at worst feel like was a chepa knock-off of someone else's work.
