[QUOTE="Rod Staffwand, post: 6643643, member: 6776279"] Also, I usually find it's critical that you indicate the general tone and style of the campaign, how you like to resolve action, and the types of action and activities you find permissible. How you'll be playing something is as important or more important that what you'll be playing. Will the game be more comedic or serious? How intense are the stakes? Is this grim, gritty horror or swashbuckling romance? Are you expecting dungeon crawls conducted with Seal Team Six precision or something more freewheeling? How do you interpret In-Character and Out-Of-Character thoughts, speech and action? If a player gets the king's name wrong during a negotiation do you give them a pass or do you have the king send for his headsman? There are no wrong answers here, it's just a matter of taste and player expectation. I find it's much easier to just tell players how you do things rather than ambush them in play. [/QUOTE]
