I've also noticed that all the capricious rules are in-game based, nothing about capricious table etiquette.One at-table thing that I thought I would enforce was no electronic devices at the game table, but I've given up on that. Maybe for shorter sessions or for games where a very specific ambiance was desired, this might be something I would enforce. However, as long as folks are engaged, not disruptive, and ready to roll on their turn I don't mind. I think my initial annoyance is age related. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />I do, however, have some capricious at-table rules:Physical dice. No iPhone apps, Hero Lab rolls, etc. I sometime regret it when it comes to rolling fire-ball damage and saves, but the rolling of dice is a big part of the game for me. I may be willing to change for some types of role or if we used a VTT in conjunction with in-person play, but I just don't think I would enjoy the game as much without physical dice. Roll in the open. We all roll, DM included, in the open, on the table where we can all see the results. Beyond that, though, I don't really care how you role. If I had an issue with someone cheating, I just would stop inviting them to my games. Seems over the top to require rolling with a cup etc. Actually, that is another capricious "rule"...I'll personally never role from a cup. The tactile feel of dice in hand is too important to me. But...I suppose if a DM required it and the game was otherwise great, I would use a dang cup.</blockquote>
