[QUOTE="Riley37, post: 7401227, member: 6786839"] Here's an excellent essay on dynamics among people who see themselves as targets of exclusion from "the mainstream". YMMV. [url]http://www.plausiblydeniable.com/opinion/gsf.html[/url] A DM/GM can, depending on context, tell players things such as "if you see someone cheating on Init rolls, you have my blessing to ask that player whether they made and declared an honest roll. Ask, and stop there, regardless of the answer; but you can ask, and their response will determine whether or not a larger conversation emerges." This could be a Session Zero topic, or a side topic, or a start-of-session announcement. If the DM is also the host, then the DM can flat-out tell the misbehaving player that future invitations depend on how they handle that conversation. If the DM is not the host, then the DM can tell the host that her willingness to DM is at stake. [/QUOTE]
