Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nyaricus" data-source="post: 3877774" data-attributes="member: 35678">Aha, some great responses in this thread! I'll go over each point now...Yeah, that kinda stems from the fact that some passages were lifted word for word from the other document which I compiled. The more fun passages are most definitely in my wording, as I compared the two docs (mine which I had started without referring to the ENW one and the ENW one when I got feedback from my buddy. I'll go over it with a bit of a fine-toothed comb and shape it up to my standards <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=":)" />That's actually a good point, and one which I thought I'd covered. I'll have to make an addendum for that.Indeed, I'll have to talk about recycling! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />. Living in Canada, however, means that smoking is generally done outside, because after the many anti-smoking campaigns in recent years it's just no longer polite to smoke indoors <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=":)" />No problem about the name of it - mine was called REDUX for a reason. I'll take a peek at it ASAP <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=":)" />You know, I really like the format of your document and how it explains respect to be the main aspect of it. I might take that and try to reconcile it with my set of Table Rules and try to get something EXCELLENT going on <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=":)" />Yes, half of my players are under-age and the other half above the legal age, so those would be the "obvious" reasons. I'll edit that to be a bit more explicit, however.And you nailed this issue on the head; I'm with a completely new set of gamers then I've ever played with before, and this is a social contract of sorts, where certain things need to be spelled out. And the same with you, I've had friends be completely the antithesis of what a "good gamer" is to me, and this helps spell out my expectations as a DM. Also, one of my goals is to really amp up the role playing aspect of my games, and really get the players to interact with the various NPCs and creatures I present to them. I really want them to feel they're a part of something greater, and inspire them in that manner, and that's why i stole the whole section on role playing from one of those EN World posts - it was an excellent passage which conveyed my expectations in words likely better then which I could have chosen myself.---Thanks everyone for your great feedback, and I look forward to any more tidbits of advice or critiques of my Table Rules. I'll also try to post up a new version sometime soon <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=":)" />cheers,--N</blockquote>
