[QUOTE="Anavel Gato, post: 937136, member: 12257"] Passing notes: we do pass notes on occassion, especially if only one character made a spot check or something of the like. We had a newer player playing with us and several people passed notes and he didn't get one, he became very upset. So the next session he made a point of passing a note every time something was happening...that was maybe more annoying than funny. Sidebars: These happen often in my group, except we usually make send the other players someplace else. That same new player used to hate this as well and talk about how they (the dm and other player) where plotting something against our PC's. Splitting up the team: This does happen on occasion. We have one player though who is I guess you could say a veteran and he refuses to let a group split up. He always says, "don't split up or that'll mean we have to split up you don't want to do that." I personally think it makes it more interesting if not a little hard on the DM... good questions. Peace. [/QUOTE]
