[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8721627, member: 86653"] In meatspace games, share the cost of refreshments and food when you can. Bring enough for yourself and some to share, if you can. If you can’t, take what you need. The rest of us over buy for a reason. Try to show up a few minutes early in case the host needs help setting up. Stay a few minutes after the game in case the host needs help tearing down. Keep cross talk to a minimum at the table. If you need to discuss things, step away from the table. Don’t talk over other players. In online games, minimizes ambient noise as much as possible and turn off any music. Jump on the game 5-10 minutes early to catch any technical problems. Mute your mic when it’s not your turn. Don’t talk over other players. Use text or chat for table talk during combat. In all games, pay attention as much as you can. If you know you need accommodations, speak up. If you can’t speak up at the table, speak up between games. We’re all here to play with you. If we need to tweak things to keep you at the table, let us know. If your memory is bad, take notes. If the story is complex, take notes. If you have trouble with names, take notes. Basically, take notes. Know the basics of the game well enough to not slow things down. Know the mechanics of your class well enough to not slow things down too much. Everyone’s gotta learn sometime...just try to make it happen between sessions, not during your turn. Have a default action. If you don’t know what to do in the first 20-30 seconds of your turn, use the default action. Kindness, respect, Wheaton’s Law, etc. [/QUOTE]
