Unattainable Ideal
Hey, Doug, this is weird. We're agreeing a lot, all of sudden. I'm suspicious.
Social Contracts?

Even if you're playing with nice folks and all that, there are plenty of stories of folks who just didn't click at the gaming table.
I've had friends that I otherwise got along with pretty darn well (in the past) but who's gaming style was too different from mine for us to enjoy playing together much, I think. I was just annoyed at them all the time. Specifically I'm thinking of a player who'd get bored if there was too much "roleplaying" going on and then just jump in and attack something just to have something to do.
But I wouldn't have drawn up a contract, I don't think. I also wouldn't have kicked her out, because we were otherwise friends. As it turned out, her and her husband moved away, and as they were a good 40% of our gaming group, between the two of them, I ended up having to completely restructure.
But I guess the rambling point here is that just because your friends are, well, your friends, and are decent people and all that, doesn't necessarily mean you'll enjoy playing with them.
