# S&D

> Stage a world. Dive in. See what happens before you commit.

**Stage & Dive** is the public door.

Stage the situation as a live World. Dive in. The SGM reads what unfolds. You leave with a **StageCard**: the experience, held.

Same motion as everywhere else: **Stage → Dive → Measure → Replay → Commit.**

## ELO

After a Dive, an **ELO** moves. Yours. The Stage's. The category's. Unbounded. Relative to everyone who has entered the same World.
