[QUOTE="Ylis, post: 1386105, member: 16749"] I was kind of put off by the formality of the rules, too. However, I play with people I've known for many years. Our motto is "Mi casa es tu casa." The only other rule we have is "Clean up, you pigs!" :) Now, since these rules are for brand new and unknown people, I think this is not only very courteous, but also very smart to do. I mean, this will turn off most of the rabble, ensuring that you'll have a better chance of good roleplayers. Also, it can prevent some nasty surprises down the road (such as the allergies thing...). So, since these rules are meant for scouting out prospective players and kind of getting what the group is about out of the way in one fell swoop, I'd say it looks good. I wouldn't put too much more, though - you've address the "group issues". "In-house" issues should be dealt with in person, since they might change from location to location (if you ever change houses/hosts). The only other thing I can say is: Man, I wish I had some pagan role-players in my area :) You can barely find one or the other around here <sigh> :) [/QUOTE]
