Yeah, I generally look with a bit of suspicion at DMs who have pages of table rules. It usually makes me feel like they either:I find that table rules are generally longer than any players want to sit through or read
- have not really DMed much but have been spending ages reading online forums, and are now imagining that all the possible bad things will happen to them as soon as they try DMing
- have indeed had all those bad things happened to them, which makes me question why exactly have they constantly ended up playing with terrible people
- feel in great need of controlling anything
I only stick to 2 + 1 table rules before I start any game: no PvP, and no mention of specific violence against women and children. These can be elaborated further if anyone wants a rationale or don't think they understand what I mean.
The +1 table rule is not always necessary the case, I may use it or not depending on the table, but it's "permanent character death is always negotiable".
