[QUOTE="Dragonsbane, post: 8346359, member: 6775188"] I have a number of "best practices" but as so many people pointed out, there is no such thing as everyone's game is different, at least in their viewpoint. Everything is ok! Do whatever! There is no answer, right? For me, here are best practices for my game, with players that have been with me since the 20th century: [LIST] [*]Encouraging backstories that tie into the lore of my game [*]Reducing powergaming in various ways (house rules, removal of some optional rules, making sure players know nerfs can happen midgame) [*]Encouraging role-play instead of roll-play [*]Tamping down the increasing power creep [*]Removing "teen themes" [*]Reducing the absurd ease of survival via removing death saves and stopping the up and down at 1hp [*]Making sure I am ready to handle anything players throw at me via improv [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
