[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8336265, member: 6796468"] By recognizing that outside of a few specific and incredibly loose Best Practices (Don't be Exclusionary, Do some Prep Work whether you're the DM or the Player, be willing to Be Invested in the Game, etc) there are no best practices. There are only Best Practices for you. Or me. Or a specific table. Couch your statement with "This is what I do, (statement) and it works really well!" or go for a more general "Hey, how do you folx deal with XYZ Issues in your games? I do PQR." And then, y'know... go from there. 'Cause it's alllll gonna be based on style, intent, audience, etc. Thinking D&D has a set of Best Practices in how to run it is like thinking all Actors must use "The Method" in order to be good at their job. Every D&D Player and every DM is an Actor and a Director, and they're all gonna have their own ways of getting the movie made.
