All the recent "Is it cheating..." threads got me wondering what the next one's topic might be. Here's a few guesses:
1) Is it cheating if you roll multiple dice at a time? So and so says that rolling more than one die at a time is cutting corners and good players or DM's don't cheat like that.
2) Is it cheating if you use a pencil to write on your character sheet? So and so says that real gamers only use ink or blood, and anyone using a pencil is cheating.
3) Is it cheating if you use graph paper for your maps? So and so says that a good DM should be able to instantly determine the the size of a room just by looking at it w/o requiring the crutch of lines, so using graph paper is cheating.
4) Is it cheating if you use water soluable pens on your battlemap? So and so says that battlemaps should be permanent reminders of each session never to be erased. If you don't use a Sharpie, you're cheating!
5) Is it cheating if you use a dice/bottlecap/etc for a monster marker? So and so says that unless you use the actual figurine of the monsters for every encounter it's cheating.
6) Is it cheating if you sit down while you play? So and so says real gamers stand the entire session, even those 12-hour marathons. Chairs are for lamerz & cheaters.
7) Is it cheating if you take a bathroom break? So and so says real gamers can hold it. Pitstops are for cheaters.
8) Is it cheating if you carry your books in a duffle bag? So and so says real gamers only carry their gear in backpacks, and any other kind of carrying method is cheating.
9) Is it cheating if you don't pay full MSRP for your books? So and so says real gamers always pay full price, even if their FLGS runs a sale. Paying less is cheating.
10) Is it cheating if you play with the lights on? So and so says real gamers play in the dark and don't even use candles for light. Using a light to see the map, figurines, dice or books is obviously cheating.
Feel free to add you own!
