[QUOTE="Markh3rd, post: 7567202, member: 6782417"] I'm going to give you some don'ts to help you. 1. Don't be tardy to the game, try your best to be on time. Better to be early enough to discuss things you have questions about instead of wasting game time. 2. Don't be an antagonistic player to other players or the DM. This is considered rule number 1 in RPG land. "Don't be a dick." Since you are playing a rogue this means things like not trying to steal from everything and everybody including your friends. Not purposefully doing your own thing when the group has decided what the best course of action is. Playing a loner and not participating to help your comrades when they need you. 3. Don't limit the things you can do by your abilities or class. Play a character, not a class. Get creative with solutions and think outside the box sometimes to do something awesome. All of your gear and the environment can help you if you're creative. Stabbing everything is the worst solution, sometimes. 4. Don't argue over rules. You can point something out politely, but just move on if a brief review doesn't settle it. You can always review it later, especially if you come early to the next game. Be respectful when people disagree with you. 5. Don't forget the goal, which is to have fun with your friends. It's not always about just your character, find things to interact and include your friends in the storytelling. That way, no matter what happens, at least you had a good time. [/QUOTE]
